Green Card Interview right after Tax Day--do I have to upload 2024 Tax Returns and W2 to NVC?

[joyjoy82 0]

Ok--so I guess the title says it all! (= I feel like I read somewhere that we can upload more documents to NVC at almost any time, but is this required of me (the sponsor) and my joint sponsors? My husband's interview date is on April 24th, so right after Tax Day. So, I am just wondering if the right process is to upload it all to NVC and then just bring printed copies with us to the interview? We have come this far, so I don't want to mess up now!! Thanks for any help!!!

The year you sponsor an immigrant is not the year to delay your tax filing.  Yes, upload your complete federal tax return and any applicable W2 or 1099 forms.  If employed, upload a current pay stub too.  The foreign spouse should at least have a copy of the current pay stub in hand for the interview.  That's how they know you STILL qualify.

Thanks so much! I was just confused if the Embassy where we are going (as we live in another country) would actually see the files I will upload to NVC since they received all the previous files already from NVC.  But, I will upload the new tax info anyways AND bring copies of them with us to the embassy just in case. I think if you don't do taxes by April 15th, you just have to show proof that you filed an extension. (I do this every year since I live overseas working with an American company, and it works best for me and my tax preparer in the US.) Thanks again!

Yes--my bad!! I posted twice as I realized I had put the first post on the Fiance visa part, and this is not applicable since I am already married to my foreign husband, so I changed it to the other board. I didn't realize it would show twice! Guess I should have deleted it from the Fiance part. Forgive my newbie-ness! (= Blessings...

Like I said, the year you sponsor an immigrant is not a good year to delay your tax filing.
