Immigration visa ban on nigerian

[Uzonny 1]

I want to know if the ban also affected the k1 petition and visa processing, 

Secondly, how many years of tax return do I need to fill for petition. I just started work in 2018/2019 and I have 2019 tax return and my pay for the new job is good but I don't want to have a joint sponsor for the petition again.

Q1. Yes K-1 petitions are affected.

Q2. The below text some directly from the P3 letter from your embassy. It does not state how many years are required. Not only is a tax return IRS 1040 but it's also recommend that you supply the CO with a Tax Transcript which can be downloaded from IRS.gov. Also, with the new travel ban comes the burden of proof your beneficiary will not become a ward of the state by using your states low income offerings ie. food stamps etc. Everything is so up in the air right now but I believe by the time you go to your interview you will have a pretty good idea what is needed directly for your embassy to be approved for a visa.

 

Affidavit of Support (including tax returns): All applicants are required to have an Affidavit of Support (Form I- 134– http://www.uscis.gov/sites/default/files/files/form/i-134.pdf and an IRS Tax Return). It is required for ALL applicants to demonstrate that the immigrant is not likely to become a public charge while in the United States. A downloaded or scanned photocopy of the Affidavit of Support (I-134) is also acceptable.
 Check the poverty guidelines here – if the petitioner makes LESS than the minimum for their Household size, they MUST get a joint sponsor to also submit an Affidavit of Support along with their most recent tax return.

We need a little housekeeping on your end. Many of our answers are predicated on the information you supply in your profile. When we look at the left column and can't determine your timeline OR your Embassy it's hard for us to give you a factual answer. Our answers will sometimes be tailored to a specific Embassy hence the reason for you to complete your profile. If you look at the profile of others here, they have a flag for their country, so it makes it easy for us to reply as we can quickly determine their Embassy. The country that should be used is the country where the interview will take place.

 

So, if you could help yourself out and complete your profile that sure would help us out when we want to reply to your question with factual information.

 

Go to the top right of this page select your name (it's on the upper right-hand corner)>my profile>[below your picture on the right column] edit my profile. Scroll to the bottom and fill in "Immigration Info". There now we can better serve you.

 

Once you finish that then return and you will see a flag in your profile. Select it and see what wonderful information will open up for you.

 

Thanks
