emirica said:Hi,
At what point in time during the entire CG processing you need to show the tax returns? And for how long back in time? Do you attach the W2 too?
pralay said:If you are talking about EB category, I-485 is only stage where GC processing becomes specific to employee (before that LC, I-140 is employer's petition). It's good idea to attach the latest tax return (W2 + 1040 + state tax return) alongwith I-485 application. Most of the good lawyers do that. Sometimes in RFE/interview USCIS requests for W2 + tax returns too - especially when applicants do not attach them applications or adjucators want to checkout the current income again. Most of the time in RFE, they request for last three years tax return.

During our move, I lost the very first taxes I filled (1998, 1999), when I was still a student on F-1. But I think you can ask for copies to IRS, am I right?
psomeguy said:Guys,
Please give suggestion. I have 2000, 2001, 2003 W2 tax returns. 2004 i will get this year end. Mine case is labour substituted and filed 485 & 140 in june 2003. 140 approved. 485 gave finger prints. I don't have 2002 W2 as i was in bench for first 4 months and went to india and came back in september. got project in december and moved to new company and the new company applied my GC with pre approved labour. Since my GC is nearing completion will that be( 2002 W2 not there) any problem in 485 stage. If so how do i resolve this matter in order to get My GC. please give me suggestions.
Thanks
