Tax extension

[Diachka 66]

Hey everyone! Hope you all are doing great! 

My husband couldn't file his taxes 2018 by the deadline since he didn't have all the necessary documents to do it. Instead, he filed an extension. I have my interview next week. Now we are wondering if we need to upload the extension form to CEAC or just bring it with me to the interview? At the NVC stage, the extension wasn't filed yet, so at that point we uploaded a letter explaining why taxes 2018 weren't filed.

I think you should take it with you to the interview, if they ask for it you can show it to them, they might not even ask for it.

I would think the case would go into AP till you can provide the needed tax transcripts

I would take it to the interview........but be prepared for a 221g requesting the transcripts after filing.........

But my husband won't be able to file taxes at least until June - July. Will they put me on AP for that? The thing is that partially my husband's income comes from his family's business. He needs some document from the company to file his taxes. He can get it only in June if not later after the company audit... He always fully files his taxes closer to October because of these circumstances.

They usually ask for most recent year......and I have seen at least one case in which they have delayed visas......maybe you will get lucky....

Yeah, I hope we will get lucky. We provided NVC with W2's 2018 that meet the financial requirements. I also have a draft of tax return 2018, but as I mentioned earlier my husband can't file it with IRS yet.

I had my interview this month, and I was not asked for the 2018 tax transcripts even though i had it at the time, and the most recent tax transcripts uploaded to CEAC was 2017. Hopefully, you get lucky and they dont ask you at the interview.

There have been a few people put into AP until they submit their transcripts..Dont mess with CEAC anymore...bring the letter with you to the interview...you should just be ok with 2017

Hello I am on the same situation as you, and this is what they say about tax extensions on the Travel state webpage instructions (step 4). So I don't think it would go to AP if you provide proof of extension, just take it to the interview, they will not review it on ceac.

Let me know how your interview goes, mine is on May 3rd. Good luck!!!

They don't care about "can't" or "why".  However, if his income has consistently been well over the required amount, they may go ahead and issue the visa without seeing the 2018 transcript.  All you can do is all you can do.  It will be what it will be.  They are going to make a judgment call based on what they have in the file and what they decide to consider from what you bring with you.   Don't expect "sympathy" to be a part of their consideration.

Thank you for the advise! I also saw some cases put on AP but not due to the extension. Seems like some people provided tax return forms, but CO wanted the transcript.

You are right, it is what it is. There's nothing we can do now.
