Co-sponsor.. What supporting documents are good?

[kdude1 3]

Hi there,

In my case, the petitioner has lived with me in Australia so will not have income above the poverty line.

Her retired father might end up being the co-sponsor.. Just wondering what documentation he would need as supporting evidence. Once he has filled out the form with the figures of his income, what documents would need to be included... A photocopy of the latest tax return?

Regards

Photocopies of tax returns are accepted but tax transcripts are preferred by the USCIS.

They can be ordered online or over the phone.

Here is a link to the IRS website : http://www.irs.gov/I...er-a-Transcript

Good luck!

I'll tell you what my parent's are including (they are my co-sponsors) : a copy of their bank statement accompanied with a letter form the bank, tax transcripts from the past 3 years, a letter from the bank explaining the leftover mortgage on the house, and copy of the last 6 pay stubs. Just a reminder any co-sponsor will need to show proof of citizenship (birth certificate, certificate of naturalization or biographic page from their passport).
