221G - Tax Return

[sunandmoon 450]

Sorry, correct me if I'm wrong but were you there at the interview?

They didn't even look at the income, I stated that is my concern yes, but they didn't even look at it - the particular CO we had DID NOT ACCEPT THE TAX TRANSCRIPT OR MY W2. I provided 2007 to 2010 W2s and Tax Transcripts. Did I make a mistake? Yes, I should have included the Form 1040's, but actually I think my case was a special blessing in disguise.

IF they denied based on income, then my 221g WOULD HAVE SAID SO. PERIOD. But it doesn't, it says 2010 W2 (which she had with her) and 2010 Income Tax Return needed. Why would they ask for the stuff if they know it wasn't sufficient?

Point of the story:

TAKE W2, FORM 1040, and IF you have them, IRS Tax Transcripts as backup, because maybe the CO doesn't pay taxes and therefore has no idea what a Tax Transcript really is!

You gotta ask yourself the Dirty Harry:

I know what you're thinking. "Did he take six documents or only five?" Well, to tell you the truth, in all this excitement I kind of lost track myself. But being as this is the Manila Embassy, the most stringent Embassy in the world, and would blow your case clean off, you've got to ask yourself one question: Do I feel lucky? Well, do ya, punk?

And learn from the mistakes (or hidden blessings) of others so you don't have to go through what we did.

AND ABOVE ALL - GIVE GLORY TO GOD no matter what the outcome!

=) Because He sure does know best, and I praise Him for this process because it truly is, a blessing to not have to get a sponsor and go through Administrative Review. Submitting extra documents is much better.

just a question, did the annual income you reported on the I-134 reflect the gross income of your 2010 tax return or your higher current annual income?

also, was it the pre-screener or CO who would not accept the tax transcipt or W-2?

When my wife went for her interview, she took the transcripts for the prior 3 years (no 1040s).

I have been reading that a few people are reporting that they were asked for 1040s/W-2s and most of these people were on the income borderline. That may be one of the reasons why they ask for it.

I always say to give them what they ask for.

If you are borderline for I-134, how are you going to qualify for I-864 and AOS?

I tell you what you do. Submit your 2010 1040 in which you do not meet eligibility requirements, and do not submit any new evidance such as your new 2011 return, and I bet you will get another special blessing in disguise.
