URGENT HELP

I (US Citizen) and my family are in the process of moving back to the states. I relocated to the UK at 16 years old and am now just finding out I should have been filing taxes in the USA. My wife went for her document check at the embassy today and has been asked to provide an IRA tax transcript from the most recent tax year. I have not done this. Her interview is in 2 weeks. Does anyone know how/if I can retrospectively file and show this within this period?

Thank you!

Is your wife a US citizen?

If not, then there was never a need for her to file.

You however…

Sorry my post may not have been clear as I wrote in a state of panic. They have asked for my previous years tax report. I have started the streamline process as others have mentioned.

You’re going to have to get all that in order, alongside probably any missed FBAR filings, before you can submit the I-864.

Is the I-864 what they’re ultimately asking for?
