they asked for all 3 of mine

i went to IRS office and got the 3 transcripts plus a copy for my records of what i sent to immigration

they can not be ones that say copy you get from a tax preparation office or site or even copies of your original ones / they should be from IRS

BTW you are married

best to file A W7 at the time you do 2017 taxes and get him included as a dependent

Casa embassy likes to see commingling of finances so this is one step to doing that

IRS site tells you how to do this

No where in any instruction it is written that you can not bring your own copy of the taxes, others have done it and had no problem. Is bringing them from IRS a special "high fraud" country issue?

The petitioner will need to provide them at the NVC stage to show evidence of ability to support the beneficiary financially. The beneficiary is not required to provide these. 

Ahh, thank you for the clarification, very much appreciated.

There is a lot of misinformation about this subject along with misinterpretation of requests.  The affidavit of support requires information from three past returns, but only requires you send one.  Whether three will ever need to be SEEN by anybody is either circumstantial or Consulate specific.  If it's India, send or take all three.  Even then, when sending affidavits of support anytime from now for the rest of the year, be prepared for the Consulate to want to see the 2017 tax return at interview, no matter how many you send in now.

 

To be specific, copies of complete tax returns including W2 or 1099 as applicable OR, OR, OR "Tax Return Transcripts" without W2 or 1099 (or with) are what are requested.  You sign the affidavit of support under penalty of perjury, which applies to the supporting documentation as well.

 

All that said, a Consular Officer may request anything they decide they want to see, whether technically required or not.  The Consular Officer requesting something is the only technicality of consequence here.

The person who translated my papers from Arabic to English in Morocco told me that if there are big differences between the two of you (age, religion) they will put you through a lot of extra work.

I don't know your husband's age, but if he is much younger, that could be why!
