The affidavit of support

[Jasontnyc 9]

Was your husband living outside the US during the period when he failed to file tax returns? If so, there is a facility for reporting income earned abroad. This is something my husband has had to do since, having only worked in the UK (he is a dual national) he was not aware that he needed to file with the IRS until we began looking into relocating to the US. He found the forms easy to fill out and, since he had nil to pay on his income, there was no financial penalty for his failure to report. We have had a slight delay in the filing being complete for all three years since my husband was a bit of a doofus and failed to sign one of the forms (doh!) so it was sent back to us but otherwise the process is actually pretty straightforward even though taxation stuff usually brings me out in hives.

Completely agree having done it myself (with the process being easy, no the doofus part)

Good Luck on getting him squared away.

i don't know if this applies to you, but you could also be a joint sponsor if you have a source of income that will continue beyond the receipt of the visa. you and your husband can also use (both of your) assets to prove that he can support you.
