Hi Everyone,

I'm curious. When it comes time for my interview and paperwork, will my past Canadian taxes play any part in the process? The reason I ask is because this was the first year that I have filed (for 2012), even though I'm 24. All prior years I had no income or anything to claim, so I was told not to bother (I realize I should have filed anyway, but didn't know at the time).

Will this be a problem in the K1 Visa process, or should I not worry about it?

Thanks!

Oh, sorry. I should have specified. I'm the Canadian Citizen (beneficiary of K1).

nope!!

Canadians Visiting the USA while undergoing the visa process, my free advice:

1) Always tell the TRUTH. never lie to the POE officer

2) Be confident in ur replies

3) keep ur response short and to the point, don't tell ur life story!!

4) look the POE officer in the eye when speaking to them. They are looking for people lieing and have been trained to find them!

5) Pack light! No job resumes with you

6) Bring ties to Canada (letter from employer when ur expected back at work, lease, etc etc)

7) Always be polite, being rude isn't going to get ya anywhere, and could make things worse!!

8) Have a plan in case u do get denied (be polite) It wont harm ur visa application if ur denied,that is if ur polite and didn't lie! Refer to #1

They're interested in your US citizen fiance's income level and whether he can support you when you arrive so that you don't become a burden on society (sounds so inviting doesn't it!) Whether you paid/filed your taxes in Canada is irrelevant.

That's great. I didn't know if they checked that stuff in some sort of background check or something. Thanks for the quick responses. I can stop worrying now. :)
