Supporting Documents

[Neash 2]

Hello friends,

As there is only less than a month to our interview date, every now and then a question popped into my mind and stress of that day doesn't let me live my life

Anyway, just another question regarding supportive document and tax return:

Is the year 2010 tax return enough for the interview day?

And should any of these documents (supportive) be stamped or notarized?

Any additional advice is welcome

Appreciate your reply in advance!

To avoid a possible RFE, you should consider including your 2011 tax transcript, as that US tax filing day for 2011 tax year was approximately 6 weeks ago. Refer to the site's embassy info, and additionally contact the interviewing embassy to see their specific requirements about notarization of documents and other concerns. Most don't, though some do require such notarization.

Good luck on your visa journey.

We just had our interview a few weeks ago in Manila. I submitted my 2011 tax return, just the copy my accountant gave me. I did not have it notarized. I think there is old information that this needs to be notarized, but I think this is no longer the case. Because I work freelance in my line of work, I also got from the IRS tax transcripts for 2010 and 2009. You can get these free of charge if you want, they take 2 or 3 weeks to mail to you. But it's not a bad way to do it, since it's official IRS looking paperwork of your return, and they're free.

Just a thought.

But I didn't notarize anything, and we were approved. They definitely look at the tax transcripts though, so you do need to have them.

Really my fiancé said they only looked at our pictures, and those tax records. We had email, letters, chat transcripts, phone records, and they didn't look at any of them! But still better to have had them.

Good luck on your interview too!!!
