IR1 Interview and tax returns

[Julia1994 0]

My husband has an upcoming immigrant visa interview. Although we have submitted our 2021 tax returns to the NVC, would it be wise to bring our 2022 tax returns to the interview? Or is it not necessary? Have you found that they specifically ask for that?

 

Thanks/.

You cannot go wrong if you bring a copy of your tax return to the interview.  You do not need to volunteer it, but it is really good if they ask for it, and you have it.

 

We interviewed in early April - before April 15th.  Our instructions did not specify that we should bring the prior year's return.  I had them, and volunteered them.  The officer took them, but never looked at them AT ALL.

 

So...have them up your sleeve, but they should not be required prior to April 15th.
