Student Petitioner never file tax return

[ChetT 9]

Do you think it's a problem in the case of K-1 where petitioner is a student, never filed tax return, because he has no income ?

At the same time, he has a co-sponsor. The thing that I really doubt is that he has never filed tax return.

You will need to show you make 125% poverty level for family of 2 plus any other dependents. Current income will probably do it, if you show you have new job based on education and have been student until now. For a family of 2, you will need approx $19,000 annual income.

Should be no problem. Both the petitioner and the co-sponsor need to fill out the I-134 though, even if he doesn't make any income and didn't file a tax return.

You will also need to include an explanation letter for not filing taxes and you will need to cite the legal basis for not filing, ie "according to IRS rule Y, people who make X are not required to file tax returns".

Thank you all.

If he had NO income it is not a problem, simply explain that and cite the tax code that exempts him. You need to attach a tax return OR an explanation why you do not. Student, no income works. But you cannot just say "I was a student and had no income" You have to cite the tax code that allows the exemption. Google "1040-instructions" and read them.
