tax transcript?

[munchmunch 0]

So, I've just sent my I-130 (for my husband's IR-1 visa) and I've been reading about the next steps...

 

It mentions having a tax transcript as proof of income with the I-864 (even tho my mom back in the states is going to be his sponsor)... my issue is that I only recently learned about the fact that I should have been filing taxes for the years that I've lived here in the UK and I've only literally just sent off the back filed forms.

 

Does anyone know how long it will take before I can request a transcript or is there any way to get around this and just show copies of what I have just sent?

 

Thank you

Hate to reply to my own thread before someone else does but...

 

I've now seen some info saying that I might not need to show a transcript and that copies of my returns might be sufficient at the London DCF office because my mom is the USA sponsor and will have all of the correct information for her finances. 

 

Does anyone recently know if this is the case as well?

 

Thank you again

As per my understanding and reading what it says on the instructions for the I-864, it is clear that you need to have the transcripts OR the returns/w-2s etc.

 

You have the transcripts for your sponsor and the returns for yourself, in my opinion that should be good enough.

I am no expert so please double check.
