Affidavit of Support

[SterlingGirl 1]

I had already sent the affidavit of support to my fiance after we got our I-129F approval. In the AOS guide, I see it's saying we should send another one - am I to send a second one along, or should USCIS already have the affidavit and evidence I sent along earlier in the process? If so, why would the guide say we need to send it again?

You'll need a I-864 affidavit of support when you file to adjust status[AOS]. K1s use a I-134 affidavit of support at their embassy interview.

Okay, I see now. Different form.

Another question: It says, "For purposes of this affidavit, the line for gross (total) income on IRS Forms 1040 and 1040A will be considered when determining income. For persons filing IRS Form 1040 EZ,the line for adjusted gross income will be considered." On my Schedule C for last year (as I was self-employed), my technical gross income was OVER the 125% limit. However, after adjusting for business-related expenses, my "total" income was a smidge LESS than the 125% limit.

Which one are they going to take? Also, I'm seeing in this form that the spouse's income CAN be used, even without dependents of his/her own. Is the inability to use the spouse's income ONLY pertaining to the I-134, and not the I-864? With his income, we have plenty. I refuse to believe that we're making WELL over the 125% limit at this very moment, and yet I'd be considered unable to support him.

Can the Intending Immigrant Help Me Meet the Income Requirements? (from instructions)

If certain conditions are met, the intending immigrant's income can help you meet the income requirement. If the intending immigrant is your spouse, his or her income can be included if it will continue from the same source after he or she obtains lawful permanent resident status.

Is he working in the US and will he keep that job? Then yes his income counts is how I interpret it.

The amount from the tax return that they use for the income requirement is TOTAL INCOME. It is line 22 (on 1040) and line 15 (on 1040A).
