K1 visa supporting financial docs for Montreal

[pooj97 89]

Hi everyone, even though the Montreal embassy has not yet reopened, my fiancé and I are starting to prepare documents for the interview since we’ve received our NVC case number. I know that for the interview we have to provide Form I-134 and supporting financial documents for the K1 visa. The issue is - I graduated university in 2019 and didn’t start my job until September 2019. I didn’t have to file before 2018 and I only have my 2018 and 2019 tax returns. In my 2018 return, I obviously don’t make enough since I was still a student but I made about $24000 in my 2019 tax return (even though my actual salary is almost triple that), and which is about $3k more than what is required for the fiancé visa income requirements. However, there was an issue in filing my taxes this year due to Covid and therefore my tax refund and therefore tax transcript is still processing with the IRS and might still take longer. I already have my 2019 tax return that shows that I made $24k in 2019, but will this, along with my paystubs and offer letter showing my actual annual salary be enough for the interview? Or should I wait for my 2019 transcript too? Thanks

I believe come July 19th or something -- taxes from 2019 are going to be needed and not 2018.

 

It'll be awhile until you get you packet 3, so by the time you do, it'll prob be past that date.

 

The other stuff you mentioned is good too.

 

I personally was super close to getting p4(sent P3 in pretty much when they decided to close), and had 2018 tax stuff ready butttt with Covid...and who knows when embassy starts processing again, I'm going to have to redo it to 2019 numbers instead >.>
