ITR Question

[kelvin86 0]

Good morning everyone, I hope all is well. I have a question about the ITR requirement for the affidavit of support. I'm a US citizen and I just sent off the petition to bring my fiancé here to live with me. My problem is that I started a new job on December 9, 2013, so my most recent ITR will be of little use to them at her interview(I think). The prior year (2012) also only has me working a short time. Is that going to be a problem? Should I just send the transcripts I have available and provide them with all of my paystubs, an employment letter, and a bank statement from an officer at my bank? If they take my hourly rate and average hours worked, I am well above the poverty guidelines. Also, my fiancé lives in the Philippines. Please provide any suggestions and thank you for reading.

Manila requires the most recent 1040 and W-2, but you will list your current income, not past, on the I-134. Yes, provide a letter from employer and/or recent pay stubs to prove your current income amount.

Okay, understood. Thank you Jay-Kay for the quick reply.

Yes you provide a copy of your most recent tax return (transcript) and W-2, which would be your 2013 tax return, not 2012. If you started a new job then for sure include the employer letter and copies of your pay stubs.

Your income must meet the poverty guidelines of the I-864P for the number of dependents (including you).

Do we need to bring the original w2 or just a copy of it? Do we also need to show my fiance's bank statement? There's not much on her account thats why we are hesistant to show her bank statement.

Hi Kelvin! We almost have the same timeline. Our application is also being processed at TSC.

Copies of the tax return and W2 are all the embassy requests. Bank statements are not required.

Original copy is required?

[Hank_ 9,174]

photo copies... no such thing as an original copy, it is either an original or a copy

Apologies. What i meant was, does my fiance need to send me her original itr & w2 or she can just send me a photocopy.

Only copies, she can email them to you if she chooses. Only the I-134 has to be original with original signature.
