Question about Tax Returns {Split}

[Sarah Kay 22]

Hey u guys I was wondering what if Nvc didn't ask for 2018 transcripts to be uploaded on Ceac and just accepted 2017 tax transcript.  I was unemployed 2018 sof I didn't file taxes and Ceac didn't ask me to write a letter. What should I do for the interview?

If you uploaded your financial documents before April 15, they didn't require 2018 transcripts yet at NVC, but at the interview abroad, whenever that is scheduled in the coming weeks, they will most likely ask for 2018 tax transcript, or the full tax return including W2s, 1099s, all schedules as filed, or if you were not required to file because you did not work, then send your spouse a letter certifying that you did not earn any income therefore were not required to file a tax return last year.  This may cause an issue with your sponsorship and the public charge concern so if you don't already have a co-sponsor, you should get one and send your spouse the required financial documents and form for the co-sponsor.  Good luck!

Thanks for giving me great advice. I already do have a cosponsor so that's great. Do I write the letter certifying I didn't file taxes or do I've 2 get it notarized?

Here's what is says on the NVC website:

 

If you did not file taxes: If you did not file Federal Income Tax Returns for the most recent tax year, write and sign a statement indicating why you did not file taxes.
