hunter Posted May 4, 2006 Report Share Posted May 4, 2006 My wife will be having her interview for K-3 in June. I gave her my work letter stateing i have worked there for 10 years, plus a lot of check stubs, and 04 and 05 taxes. Do you all think she will need 03 taxes too? I was thinking with the letter saying i worked for 10 years and 2 years of taxes is enough, am i wrong? Thanks guys. Link to comment

Thanks guys.212257[/snapback]The I-864 officially only requires the most current tax year, but then GZ's paperwork asks for 3. Just to be on the safe side why not order 3 years of tax transcripts from the IRS, you should have time to get them. Link to comment
david_dawei Posted May 4, 2006 Report Share Posted May 4, 2006 Just to make sure there is no confusion in Lee's reference to an I-864... K3s should bring the I-134 for their affidavit of support... Link to comment

hunter Posted May 4, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 4, 2006 Ok I found my w-2 for 03, should i send the completed tax record of 03 taxes or is a copy of the w-2 enough? Link to comment

A W2 is NOT a tax return. Skipping the I-134 entirely MIGHT be enough but it is you that is risking it. You decide. Link to comment

You can bring two for good measure if you want... Link to comment
Jonathan Posted May 5, 2006 Report Share Posted May 5, 2006 If you used Turbo Tax and electronic filing, most likely, you would have forgotten sign and date the copy of that tax return. Make sure you do so, or the VO is going to make you order tax transcripts which will delay things substantially. It was a good thing that someone has brought this up on this site earlier, because I used electronic filing. And if I had not read that thread topic, I might have been an unlucky fellow.

I'm suggesting the safe bet is to bring three tax returns EVEN THOUGH they are not technically required, according to GUZ. I like your suggestion of three separate proofs. That's safe too. That's what my wife will be bringing. Link to comment
