I-864 Affidavit of support- Tax returns

[manuel rios 0]

Hello,

 

My k-1 visa has been approved. During this process we proved the affidavit of support with the I-134 form at the Embassy in Madrid. Without tax returns just the current income of the US citizen.

Now, I will have to apply for adjusting my status and I will have to send the I-864 form of affidavit of support.  The thing is this form makes us provide the last tax returns, but the US citizen was living abroad with me so we do not have tax returns just the current income for her current employer.

Again the  i-864 form says: Item Numbers 18.a. - 20. Federal Income Tax Return Information

You must provide either an Internal Revenue Service (IRS) transcript or a photocopy from your own records of your

Federal individual income tax return for the most recent tax year.

My question is:  Could the affidavit of support be approved without the tax returns?  Would  the current salary of my wife and the letter from her employer be enough to meet the requirements?

 

Thanks

How much did she make 2016? If it is below IRS requirement, then she doesn't have to file tax but she has to explain reason on a signed letter why she doesn't have to. Letter, job contract, paid stubs are okay to prove current income. But if she just starts work recently, USCIS will request for evidence. Good luck.

They still have to file a us tax return even if you are living over seas if you make over a certain amount.

You can request that your income isn't considered if you made under 124,000 dollars I think. 2555Ez for the exemption.
