Federal income document Help PLEASE!!

[Maga]

hello everybody.

i'm new in this forum... and would like to hear an advice from you, guys..
i entered the US on J1 in may, not subject to 2 year rule... me and my husbund got married in august and mailed petition, AOS, EAD on 10/29/2007. on 11/29/2007 i have biometrics appoinment.
but on 10/16/2007 i got a letter from Uscis "request for initial evidence (i-485)"
the letter says that "Petitioner/sponsor submitted a Form I-864-EZ that was signed more than six month after filing of federal tax forms. in arder to process your application further, the petitioner needs to submit Federal income tax documents for the most recent tax year".

my husband gave me his form W-2 Wage and tax Statement...and this is what we have submitted with our I-864-EZ....and now we have no idea where to get his Federal income tax document and how long it may take and what is the shortest way to do it. may it anyhow affect our case?
can someone tell me what to do in this situation Please?
thanks.

Call the IRS and request the transcripts for year 2006, they will mail them or fax them to you at no cost.

thanks a lot. so i basically just call them and order tax return transcripts? this is what they are asking for or do we need to request a COPY OF TAX RETURN?
do u know how long does it take? thanks a lot again...

USCIS looking for tax return TRANSCRIPT not copy of tax return but there is no harm to submit these two documents together.

You have copy of tax return that you file every year, don’t you?
Copy of Tax return (but not tax return transcript) from IRS will cost you, check with IRS web site.
You will get tax return transcript by calling (800)–829–1040 at the same time if you are near fax machine (separate phone line than you are calling from) or by mailing form 4506-T and will take 2-3 weeks in mail. You can request or get up to last three years transcript.

Hello everybody!

My husband got his IRS tax transcript in mail today... it took them 2 week to mail it... so tired of waiting...
Now we need to submit it with the pink RFE letter
My question is: Is there any proper way to submit editional evidence...or i just simply mail to USCIS with the pink letter?
Do we have to include any cover letters or anything.?
And what should we get fron USCIS after they recieve additional documents?

Thanks a lot again.

No cover letter, just make a copy of all of it (including the pink RFE letter) and keep one copy for yourself.

Then put all of the originals together (pink letter and IRS transcripts) and mail it to the appropiate address (stated in the pink letter).

we only ordered transcripts for 2006...as it said in pink letter "for the most recent tax year"... so the transcript we have is only one page...is that ok?
should we expect any latter from USCIS back regarding RFE?

You are sending what they asked for, so do not worry.
