DO i need to send Tax return transcripts along with my 485 application.

There were RFEs for Tax Returns.

I submitted tax returns for last 3 years with my I-485.

First I just sent W-2 alone when I filled I-485 papers, Then the paralegal staff in my employer\'s office insisted on sending Tax returns, So I submitted them.

And later I learnt my friend got an RFE for tax returns since her lawyer didn\'t do it.
Along with them they also asked for Pay slips since they got doubt.

From then I was following up the relation between tax returns and RFE for payslips closely. In more than 4 posted cases I observed that When Tax returns are not submitted they got RFE and along with they ask for pay slips also.
This is my research and hope this helps to avoid RFE.
 
Tax returns ...

What was send as tax returns ...your 1040 form copies or tanscripts from federal which u have to specifically get by mail.
Please reply
 
Not required but...

no harm in sending these tax returns, W2, pay slips along with your I485. I have seen people received RFE on tax returns, W2, pay slips when they didn\'t submit the documents to INS.

Does anyone receive RFE even though he/she has already submitted the tax returns, W2, and pay slips.

FYI. I didn\'t submit all of that documents because my lawyer thought it wasn\'t necessary. If I visited this Web site before I submitted my 485, I would have insist my lawyer to submit these docs.
 
I bet there isn\'t direct connection between RFE and tax returns.

INS definetely has a way to get your tax information even you don\'t submit any such info. In US tax info is important background info and they are definitely checking on your such info before approving. But I guess it is no harm to do that.

I submitted my w2\'s for the last 2 years along with copies of the 1040.

A friend told me that it helps expedite the process as they dont have 2 look around for the tax records or send an rfe. Anything to make the damn process go faster and over with!
