Do 2014 taxes need to be filed for January 2015 Interview?

[scottishlander 5]

Hi, US taxes are not due to be filed for 2014 until April 2015.

Would a US consulate marriage green card interview in January 2015 require that the taxes for 2014 be filed?

Thanks!

Likely no, because most documents to file tax return with (W-2s, 1098s, 1099s) are not issued until February typically.

Affidavits of Support submitted after April 15, 2015 will need the 2014 return. Of course if you got your taxes finished early, the 2014 can be submitted though not required.

That makes sense! Thank you!

Sorry to drag this old topic up but I have an interview next week and was told that my embassy is requiring 2014 taxes. Those without it would be asked to submit them (and passport for visa) when they become available.

My petitioner won't file taxes until the 15th April so there is a possibility that is I am approved I will have to wait a few more weeks for the visa.

This is what someone told me. I am hoping it isn't true. Anyone with a recent immigration interview can confirm?

my cousin had interview on Mar 27...Her petition took 2014 taxes to India where her interview was scheduled. The officer checked the tax papers and returned them. It also said on the interview letter that bring updated financial documents or something like that. They didn't file another I-864 with new income just took the tax papers to interview.

OK thanks. My petitioner has not filed taxes and won't until the 15th so wit is heartbreaking to say I will have to wait a few more weeks if I am approved.?

They do not have to ask for 2014 taxes if the affidavit of support was SIGNED prior to April 15. It is not the law that they have to switch over on April 15 and all the previously done affidavits have to be done over. .

However any officer at any post can ask to see a newer tax return if he has reason to believe the person's situation has changed and they weren't earning any money in 2014. It will depend on what your officer decides to do at your embassy because it is a personal decision on how much evidence he thinks he needs.

If the person that told you interviewed at YOUR embassy in April without the newer tax return and was rejected, then maybe that's how they choose to be. But if you heard it from somembody who interviewed in Paris or London or Manila, it doesn't mean your consulate will be the same. So all you can do now is go to the interview. If they ask if you have a 2014 tax return, you can explain that your Affidavit was signed and sent to you a month ago so you would have it in time. The sponsor did not have their new taxes filed because they had until April 15 to file. So what they sent was the latest that they had on the date they filled out the form. Then you wait to see if they say it's okay or if they need so,ething newer. That's all you can do if the sponsor can't send you anything now.

Thank you! I appreciate your feedback. Yes, all I can do is wait.
