Are tax forms and W2 absolutely necessary with I134?

[indiak1 0]

Is it absolutely necessary that I and my cosponsor provide tax returns and w2 with i134 if I supply other forms of evidence of a stable job and income above the poverty guidelines (employer letter, pay stubs, bank statements, etc)?

Please help! Ive asked multiple times and can't seem to get a clear answer

Yes, it is required.

What Harpa said,there is no getting around it. If you filed and you don't have copies you can call the IRS and get transcripts, it takes about 2 weeks to receive them. Hopefully you filed.

It depends on the consulate but in most cases its required. As mimolicious said its easy to order transcripts from irs. You can order online as well on http://www.irs.gov/Individuals/Order-a-Transcript

No absolutely not as per USCIS instructions. If you can then you don't need to do a lot to establish stable income. You need to provide the bank statement summary for one year, current balance, your pay stubs for last six months, employer letter explaining your job whether it is temporary or permanent. Even you provide all this but providing Tax Transcripts for last three years always plus and law abiding individual.

The other thing the Consulate can make you to do anything. My two cents.......
