RESPONSE: Residence outside of the United States does not exempt U.S. citizens or lawful permanent residents from filing a U.S. Federal income tax return. Per 9 FAM 302.8-2 the sponsor(s) must provide the Federal income tax returns for the most recent tax year. If the sponsor did not have to file a tax return, they must attach an explanation that shows why they were not were not obligated to file. See Filing Requirements in the IRS Form 1040 to determine whether the sponsor was required to file a Federal tax return.
RESPONSE: NVC recently adjusted its policy toward retrogression. In the past, if a Filing Date (Chart B) retrogressed, NVC would send a notice of retrogression and move the impacted cases into a “non-current” status in our application. Today, however, if a Filing Date {Chart B) retrogresses, the case will retain its status and the applicant can continue to pay fees and submit forms and documents. NVC, however, will not schedule the case for an interview until it becomes current by Final Act ion Date {Chart A). Therefore, the applicant should not expect to receive a letter to reinitiate the NVC process upon a case becoming current by Filing Date after retrogression because NVC no longer transfers the case to a “non-current” status. AILA DOS Liaison Committee Notes: NVC confirmed that submitting an affidavit of support fee would satisfy the “sought to acquire” requirement.
