Is it tax transcripts from IRS ?

[Mike n Huong 1]

I am pretty positive that it is the Internal Revenue Service Tax Transcripts. You can order them on the phone, and they are free, but they take like a week or so to get them. I would call and ask for faster service, maybe they can fax them to your fiancee, or to you.

if you file k1 through hcmc and need co-sponsor, then expect delay and request of more tax document from the c/o. That is what happen to me.

[Matt_Stevens 5]

I am going to have to do this guns a blazing if I want my girl to avoid that blue slip. My parents are co-sponsors and they have good jobs, two homes (both almost completely paid off) huge savings accounts and stocks and bonds. I'll have proof of all of that for Anh when she goes.

But it is ME that is the worry.

Hi VJ,

This is a rediculus request from the CO. I don't know if the consulate don't know or he/she intents to ask for something that 's been obsolete. I just called the IRS and spoke with the representive there. She told me that the IRS 1722 Letter is obsolete and they don't issue that any more, so I ask for the transcript instead. I aslo asked for the publication of the change in procedure at the IRS. She told me to inform the consulate that the IRS is no longer providing 1722 letter, and if he or she don't believe me they can call the IRS directly for verification.

TT3,

I'm curious as to what did you or your fiancee present the tax documents to the CO@HCMC?

I'm just curious that the CO was asking you for something that's been obsoleted.

tt3,

1. Did your fiance(e) carry the past 3 years of tax returns for you and the co-sponsor to the interview?

2. Have you or your co-sponsor ever had any unusual circumstances when filing taxes within the last 3 years?

3. Can you post exactly what the blue slip said?

I think a little more detail would help us understand the blue slip more, and also help lead this VJ member in the right direction. If it is certain, as menyoo found out, that the IRS doesn't issue this 1722 letter anymore, then more detail from this would certainly help us help you!

Best of luck!

My fiancee only carry tax returns for 1 year. The C/o said that they don't accept co-sponsor for k-1 visa.

I don't have any unusual circumstances when filing tax within the last 3 year,

The blue slip say I don't have enough income to support my fiancee, and it also say that I need not turn in any document, until my income is improve significantly. It also said that if I need to turn in any document at later date, I have to get form irs 1722 tax transcript of current year tax.

At the bottom of the page it said that if I don't supply document or evidence requested, or take any action within one year, then the application will be cancel

tt3,

Thanks for replying to my questions. Your answers definitely will help everyone on VJ better understand your case and offer further suggestions.

Do you mind me asking what your relationship with your co-sponsor is?

1. If I were you, I would be looking high and low for the next opportunity for a job that paid you an income sufficient enough to satisfy their requirements. The trick is going to be figuring out what their income requirements are.

You see the US Consulate in HCMC told me (via email) that the interviewing officer will have the greatest discretion in determining whether or not a petitioner's income is sufficient to meet the minimum poverty income guidelines when the I-134 is used.

They went on to say that there is no provisions under the law for a co-sponsor for the I-134, but there is no prohibition either, which is why their policy is to accept co-sponsors under certain circumstances. Since the co-sponsor who submits an I-134 has no legal obligation to fulfill the terms of the affidavit, the interviewing officer can take into consideration the credibility of the affidavit of support, and living in a different state can be a criterion for denial.

However, in an attachment posted by dalegg in another thread, it seems they make reference to joint support with the following (see the attachment for the official view):

As the fiance(e) of of a U.S. Citizen, generally you are expected to provide Form I-134 and supporting documents from your U.S. Citizen fiance(e) or your fiance(e)'s family stating their responsbility and ability to provide financial support for you and your accompanying children. Form I-134 is included in this mailing. You may also be able to satisfy the public charge provision of the law by presenting documentary evidence that:

1. You have, or will have, personal funds in the United States sufficient to support yourself and your accompanying children, or sufficient to support yourself and your accompanying children until you find employment in the United States;

2. You have arranged employment in the United States that will provide an adequate income for you and your accompanying children;

3. Relatives or friends in the United States will assure your support; or

4. A combination of above criteria

Answer the questions about the relationship of your co-sponsor and that might help even more. However, it sounds like more income is the solution to your hold up.

I just received an email from HCMC replying to my questions about my file arriving and the I-134 contrvoersy. They say, flat out, they do not have to accept I-134's. In addition, they say that they require the outdated IRS form 1722! #######?!

Here is the email they sent to me:

Regarding your concern of the denial of the co-sponsors in most of fiancé(e) (K1) visa cases that the petitioners' incomes were found insufficient, please be informed that the simple submission of an I-134 Affidavit of Support is not sufficient to establish that a K1 applicant is not likely to become a public charge. Consular officers are required in the case of both sponsors and joint sponsors to consider the sponsor's motives in submitting the I-134 Affidavit of Support. Quoting from the FAM, "When there are compelling or forceful ties between the applicant and the sponsor, such as a close family relationship or friendship of long standing, the affidavit may be favorably considered by the consular officer. On the other hand, an affidavit submitted by a casual friend or distant relative who has little or no personal knowledge of the applicant has more limited value." In consular officers' judgment, the ties between the applicant and the joint sponsor in the present case are not forceful and compelling.

I would especially like to draw your attention to the following phrase from the above quote: "...may be favorably considered..." [emphasis added]. In real-world terms, consular officers have a great deal of discretion with regard to determining eligibility under INA 212(a)(4) in cases where the I-134 affidavit of support is used. If a legally-binding I-864 affidavit of support is used, consular officers have very little discretion. To reiterate: the legally-binding I-864 affidavit of support is not authorized for use with K-1 cases.

Regarding your concern of the requirement from the petitioner in K-1 cases, please find the below:

1. Affidavit of Support Form I-134 (original, signed and notarized);

2. The preferred 1722 tax transcript from IRS for the past year;

3. Current employment letter (on company letterhead)/ valid business license;

4. Bank statements or documentation of assets;

5. If you are required a joint sponsor, the joint sponsor must submit all documents like the petitioner plus proof of citizenship or LPR status (U.S. birth certificate, naturalization certificate or green card). As stated above, the acceptance of the joint-sponsor will be at the interviewing officer's discretion at the time of interview;

6. Letter of explanation regarding the relationship between the petitioner and joint sponsor;

7. Proof of Applicant's relationship with the petitioner and applicant.

My brother and sister is my co-sponsor

Matt,

I think this response from the consulate is positive news for you and I both, considering we are both using co-sponsors who are parents, and according to the consulate "forceful and compelling" in their relationship to us. EVERY case is different, and that is why I always ask the relationship of the co-sponsor to the petitioner when I see a blue slip issued because of this. It's that credibility I talked about in an earlier post with you and yellow123. Perhaps they saw yellow123's co-sponsor (i.e. brother-in-law) as less credible. What happens if the co-sponsor divorces yellow123's sister? The I-134 is non-binding legally.

If you read the list of documentatin that they listed for you, other than the IRS 1722 preferred tax transcript, there was no mention of any previous years tax return. Perhaps they want the 1722 tax transcript instead of the actual tax filing that is held by the co-sponsor. I think the 1722 issue warrants a further reply to the US Consulate. Perhaps you could reply to your email and request additional specific information regarding the 1722. You might also mention that menyoo called the IRS personally and they told him they DID NOT issue that type of document anymore.

Either way, I found your email as good news. We just need to clear up the 1722 issue!
