Q: Lack of federal income tax return? What to do?
We have received the email about our interview for our US Visa application. It is on Sept. 3, 2015. They said that we must bring
- U.S. Federal Income Tax Return for 2014
- W-2 Form(s) for 2014
- Signed letter of explanation and legal basis for not filing Income Tax Returns
of my grandfather (petitioner). He is here in the Philippines and he is not filing income tax return in the US when he was there because his income is low. What will we do? Thank you so much!
A: To immigrate to the US, you must have the petitioner or petitioner and co-sponsor submit an affidavit of support to demonstrate that you will not be a public charge. Since the petitioner does not live in the US or earn enough to file returns, his affidavit of support alone is probably not sufficient. Consult with an attorney to determine how to proceed.
