Do I need to send My Co-Sponsor Tax Return when I file for Removal?

Hello, I am wondering if I still need to send a copy of the Income Tax return of our co-sponsor. Your response is highly needed. Thanks a lot!

Hi TexaswithLove,

I was wondering the same thing too, when I sent in my I-751 last year. Lol..it was bad enough that I had to get a tax return for the co-sponsor when I filed for the AOS, and getting another one...forget about that! (heck, it was hard enough just to get a co-sponsor as it is at that time, but that's another story)

The I-751 has nothing to do with support and/or affidavit of support. Rather, it focuses on a "genuine joint relationship/marriage" between the immigrant and their USC spouse. Therefore, you should focus your evidence based on that instead.

So if you have tax returns, send those of yours and your spouse (filed jointly married, or separately married) instead, as that's what they look at and focus on instead, between you and your spouse.

Hope this helps. Good luck on the rest of your immigration journey too.

P.S. Try not to use bold in your text next time, as that can appear to be like yelling...thanks...

Thank you very much for the answer. Oh, I am sorry I thought it would be good to type it in bold letters to attract attention, I guess it was the other way around.

I didn't send my co sponsors in. In fact, the only time I have done anything with my co sponsor was when I got my original 2 year greencard.
