I want to mention that I earned a high income from consulting, but I don’t have an Individual Income Tax Return (IRPF). What now?

Immigration to the United States through the EB-1 visa requires a thorough evaluation of the set of documents that demonstrate your professional excellence. Among these elements, it is important to prove both your market performance and the solidity of your financial and professional trajectory, which includes tax compliance.

When you mention having earned a high income from consulting but not having an Individual Income Tax Return (IRPF), this may raise questions regarding the consistency and transparency of your financial records.

For the purposes of an immigration process, especially in categories that require proof of an outstanding career, the presentation of official documents that certify your income and contributions is essential. The absence of one of the documents proving tax compliance may make it difficult to demonstrate to the responsible agencies that you fulfill all your legal obligations in your country of origin.

It is important to emphasize that regularizing your tax situation is not only a requirement for immigration purposes but also a recommended practice to maintain the integrity of your records and demonstrate professional reliability.

The ideal approach is to seek specialized guidance from accountants or tax consultants to verify the possibility of regularization and adequacy of the documentation. In the immigration context, this regularity strengthens your credibility and can avoid questions during the analysis of your process.

Always remember to strictly follow the United States immigration laws and the tax regulations of your country. Transparency and compliance with legal obligations are fundamental pillars for a successful immigration procedure.

Avoid falling for miracle promises or marketing campaigns that guarantee results without the proper technical and legal analysis of your specific case. Consulting professionals with proven experience is one of the best ways to ensure that all your documents are in order and that you meet all necessary requirements for your application.

Each situation is unique, so it is essential to build your process based on solid evidence and the required documentation, always observing current laws and seeking proper professional advice to regularize any pending issues.
