You have to make sure you are not subject to the J1 two year foreign residence requirement, which will prohibit adjusting status unless you obtain a waiver first.

It sounds like what they want is proof of your travel- ie when did you arrive in the US and how? Boarding passes etc.

Also, there is usually a part of the form where you fill in any travel to the US in the last 5 years or so.

Oh ok! Thank you!!

Another question, very important .... (and can't find the answer anywhere!!!) : my husband never filled his tax returns (I know, it's really bad), but we have a co-sponsor. Do you think that without his tax return BUT with proofs of his employment and with the co-sponsor (who has tax returns and good income) we will be ok? Should I explain in a separate letter why he never filled the tax returns? Thanks

For your help!!!

He will need to get his taxes straightened out before you can proceed. No tax returns, no AOS.

How can he do this? He never did it? Do you think there is any way to fil them out and get them for the past 3 years?

As a US citizen he is required by law to file every year. He can face severe penalties for not doing so. He needs to file them ASAP before you AOS or AOS can be denied.

Yes, he needs to do just that. Was he working on the books and never filed, or was he working under the table? If he was on the books, then he'll need to get his W2 forms for the past 3 years from his employer(s) and do his taxes. If he was under the table, then it will be much more difficult, he should probably talk to an accountant in that case. There's a good chance that once he surfaces with the IRS they will want to talk to him about previous years taxes as well.

You already have one thread going in this forum with the same questions, no need to start another.

Unless, he is not a dependent on someone else's return and his income didn't exceed the standard deduction + one exemption, in which case he would not have needed to file taxes.

If this was the case, a statement indicating his particular circumstances would suffice, in lieu of tax returns. It also means a co-sponsor will be most certainly needed.

Hello everybody. I am trying to understand what I need to give to the immigration for the tax returns (for my co-sponsor).

He is an employee and also he owns a house.

I have w2, 1099. But we can't find the tax returns :-( he misplaced them.

Losing my mind !!!help please!!!!

You can go to this website to get copies of past tax returns filed.

It is a pain in a$$ to get an access account set-up, but once you do, you can get

printouts of prior tax returns.
