W2 requirement

[AnnaCa 63]

Hi guys,

our documents at NVC was approved the other day, but we got this message requesting a w-2. From my understanding from the requirements of proof is that if you filed single a w-2 isn’t necessary (we weren’t married until Jan of 2021, therefore filing single for 2020)

Does anyone have any input on this?

Did you submit the tax return transcript or a copy of actual tax return?

Yes, the IRS tax transcript that they want us to submit

It's very common to have this request for evidence, and it does seem like it shouldn't be necessary.

 

Your options are:

 

1. Contact NVC, put in a complaint/query and wait for a response for a few months. At the end, they could accept and move on, or tell you to upload a W2 and you'll wait 3 months after that for review.

 

2. Upload your W2 and wait 3 months from now.

 

I had the same thing, uploaded a transcript and then had to upload W2 and 1099

Did you file taxes as married filing jointly or MFS?

Single since we weren’t married in 2020

We filed jointly, of course I understand that the original post is asking about filing separately, but the NVC will ask for whatever it wants, and you're the one waiting for a visa in the meantime

So do you recommend submitting W2s/1099 too along with IRS transcripts in case of MFS?

If you've already submitted, I don't know. If you haven't submitted yet, or have only just submitted, I think it's worth it to cover all bases

We did end up submitting just to be safe.

I think you're smart to have done so, good luck with the application
