Do I need a Co-Sponsor!

[samubonny 0]

Hi guys i am new to this site, i am a college student n got married oversea with my long time girlfriend. A long distant relationship for over 7 years. Ok here is my problem. I am about to file for ROC in the end of march (90 window begins). The question is about my tax return forms. My wife came to the US sometime in june 2007 and was not working because of her lack of english, hard to find a job. But we did file jointly, how ever we filed under the poverty line for 2007. We are plannng to do our 2008 taxes ASAP, to include them, will be well over poverty line as we are both working and i am able to work part time and attend school. So i was wondering if we need a Co-Sponsor which will be any one of our parents? Also wondering how do we prove of the Co-Sponsor? Any suggestions or comments are welcomed!

You do not need a sponsor you should already have one from when you did AOS. The reason they ask for tax return when you are removing conditions is to prove that you filed together as a married couple not so the can see if you earn enough.

Agree with Kez/JWolf, your wife doesn't need a sponsor now at this I-751 stage. They ask for tax return only because they want something to prove your ongoing marraige, which continue to file joint tax return is one of their standard.

Perhaps mother can write up a letter stating that you live with her, and get it notarized.

Can anyone show me how to write the letter for proof of address.

another thing you can do is find bank statements mailed to that address, letters mailed to you also showing this place as your residence, any official mail to your address, bank statements insurance letters, magazine subscriptions, health, insurance, even magazine subscriptions, even considered junk, this will work perfectly, this shows proof, also if you live in a rented place with your mum,you must be listed in the rental agreement, get a copy from yr mumthis is basically all you need,

oh, ok thanks alot guys for your help. but i would like to know if i should include the 2007? or is the 2008 enough for the ROC.

In July this year I have been married three year and I am including 2006, 2007 and 2008.

From what I have read on VJ, the more the better.

Include all of the ones you have from filing jointly - it proves you present yourself as married to the IRS and counts as evidence.
