OMG I couldnt get my IR1 visa today :(

If you want to use his 2013 income he MUST FILE his taxes. The W-2 is worthless. You must give them exactly what they are asking for.

On my 221g they are asking IRS transcripts for 2012 not for 2013, so is that ok I print for 2012 and i get only W2 form for 2013?

That's not gonna help even you show 2012 tax return/transcript that is below the poverty level. Why can't you tell your husband to file his 2013 tax return ASAP now and print that out for your visa? Is his delay more important that your IR-1?

Wait didn't you take the 2012 transcripts with you? And does the 2012 income meet poverty guidelines?

He can file his taxes online, and it takes all of ten minutes to complete... I used Turbo Tax this year and filed our taxes Married Joint over the weekend, printed off my tax returns that turbo tax saved for me in a PDF file and took them with me to my AOS interview this morning... Job done. Happy Immigration Officer. Any previous tax transcripts can be printed off for free at irs.gov.

It seems daunting but I promise you its not. What they are asking you to provide is very straight forward. Take a deep breath, write a "to do" list and get everything that you need. You will be fine. The key is to stay calm and don't panic. As other VJ members have mentioned, you were no denied, its just a simple delay waiting for you to produce the other documents that they require. Good luck and keep us posted

Thank you QueenComley, I called my husband today he is in Turkey now, I asked to file his recent tax for 2013 immediately, so if he use this Turbo Tax can he get the proof that he filed it . How long he should wait to get the IRS transcripts for recent filed tax ?

You are absolutely right, I called him today , I told exactly the same thing, This process is taking more than a year.. I explained him that CO wants to see only IRS transcripts.. They dont care that he has a time to file it until April 15

No .. thats why I am going crazy.. its so so under the poverty guidelines.. total income for 2012 it is 7000$.. because he just started his job in this year.. If i get the transcripts with this amount my case is totally will be messed up, i hardly could explained this to him today. The reason why he does not wanna file it now is - he wants to save some money!!! He thinks if he file it when we go there ... I mean he want to show me and our daughter on it that we are living with him and save some money like that.. He is delaying my approval like that.

No I didnt get any transcripts with me, he sent his tax return for 2012 to NVC, thats NVC

SO if he file his tax for 2013 today, when can I get the IRS transcripts ? Here members say it takes 3 weeks or month until it will be available on IRS website?

I haven't done tax online, maybe 3 weeks or a month, maybe right after he files. Someone who has an experience can answer. Of course they looked at the previous year, and wanted to see this years transcripts. So gather those three docs and give them a call. Tax transcripts might take time just be patient. Everything will be alright.

Yeah he is just delaying your case. I wouldn't do that even if I lose money. Maybe he doesn't know much about I-864. Yeah if you took his previous tax transcripts they would say you need a joint sponsor.

Thanks again Nodir, I cant imagine how i would survive without this Visa Journey site.

I wait 1.6 year and I hope I handle another extra month

Yes he doesnt know anything about this process that is why he hired a lawyer, but the most cheapest and stupid lawyer ever in united States, sometimes trying to save some money people loose more than they wanted to save.

I know. Be strong. You are not alone. Remember I told you tax transcript better than w2 forms. I thought your husbands income was well high for the previous years and that you would be taking those tax transcript with you. And to show his w2s only if asked...But don't worry this isn't a denial.

His income for 2013 is 36000$ i think over the poverty line, so i guess i have to wait until transcripts will be available. I hope CO will be satisfied after that.

[Nodir 10]

So after your husband files his income tax online, as soon as he receives a refund or a due tax it means IRS has processed the tax return and he or you can print out the transcript online. So usually after 2-6 weeks.

Why did you have to wait almost 5 hours? Too many people in front of you?

[*Milly* 3]

Yes like 20 or more people, they all were called on same time 8 am morning, immigration visa interview is a little bit different than B1 or B2. They gather all 20 people in the hall and called them one by one, most of them were green card winners with family and kids, Thats good that i left my daughter at home coz defenitily she couldnt handle such long time
