CR-1 Visa Denied in Interview - 221g White Slip (Split From Existing Thread)

[Mummy Ada 0]

Good day, 

please my husband has been in Nigeria since 2019 and today the consular denied my visa stating that my husband has no Tax transcript and they want to see 2022 when next I apply. How can we file when he’s here and has not worked for almost 4years, supporting us with his asset, investments etc! 
 

I left the embassy so sad.

This is a refusal...not a denial.  I assume they gave you a 221g.  If so, I would comply with their written instructions.  Your husband can file taxes from anywhere in the world.

@Crazy Cat

I see a couple options, although our seeing what the consulate gave you would be beneficial:  

1.  Your husband can write a letter explaining that he was not required to file taxes for 2022.

2.  Husband can file 2022 taxes showing little or no income.  Then, you can submit a copy of the tax return.

Do you have a joint sponsor?  If not, I would get one, too.

Good luck.

Without having US based income or domicile in the US, your husband is not qualified to sponsor you.  Do you have a joint sponsor?

Hello,

my husband is Domicile in the US, but presently here with me. 
 

He has bills paying receipts, house fully paid for etc.

 

but the consular officer didn’t ask to see anything.

What about US-based income to support you?

You can file zero income tax return.
