I-864 2021 Tax information - needed when only shows foreign income?

[KD&CM 12]

pre-empting the need to submit them as we are awaiting DQ, my wife USC was with me in England until March 24th 2022, now redomiciled in the US, all nvc docs were submitted March 3rd before the end of tax year deadline

 

we have submitted tax years 2020, 19 and 18 as they show earnings in the US, would we / should we submit the docs for 2021?

 

however, it would only show foreign income earned September 2021 - December 2021 which i believe does not count towards the financial support minimums, it should be noted that it appears foreign tax submissions are low down the processing order as it hasn't been yet so have nothing from the IRS to show.

 

further submitted docs to support the I-864 are her job offer for a US company which she has started working for already, should we perhaps upload the pay stubs for April to show she has started working and has an income?

 

thanks in advance for any advice

Foreign income which will not continue after relocating to the US should not be included in the annual income calculations for current annual income.  Job offers are useless......CURRENT INCOME IS KING!!!!

 

Current income = latest pay period gross income X number of pay periods per 12 months.

foreign income was not included as part of the calculations 

 

US income used in the calculations was based on the job offer (doc uploaded) she got in the US which she has started and been in for the month of April already (company in UK was actually UK office of US company, she was employed as a UK person for US subsidiary, they then transferred her to US)

 

thinking best to actually upload pay stub to show income for job started in April?

 

caveat is since the job offer salary used in the calculations was submitted she has been awarded a pay rise, so pay stub will be more than what was in calculation.....

Signed and submitted prior to April 18, 2022 means the most recent tax return requirement is the 2020 tax year, unless you had already filed your 2021 taxes prior to your Mar 3 affidavit.  I supposed the NVC has no way of knowing when you filed so 2020 should be fine for NVC and the interview. 
 

As far a as only foreign income on the return is concerned, you missed one point. The most recent tax return is a legal requirement for an immigrant visa even if the income was insufficient. The income insufficiency can be overcome with a joint sponsor or in your case, proof off a current job making enough.

A job offer letter will likely be rejected. I would upload a current employer letter stating her position, when employment started, and the yearly salary. They can throw in her previous history of years with their company in the UK just to add a little pop to her short employment in the US.  You can add the payslip(s) too, but the employment verification from the employer is better.

That doesn’t matter. It would only be a problem if the form said more than the paystub (or employer) verified.  Then she wouldn’t have provided proof of the income she stated on the form.
