Filing I-864, Affidavit of Support

[stangguy 0]

Does anyone have experience with filiing the affidavit of support and having filed an extension for the previous years taxes?

I have a copy of my current Tax Account transcripct that shows I filed an extension for 2008 taxes, but that is all it shows regarding 2008, as well as Tax Return transcripts for 2007 and 2006. What did you you put on the form where it asked for your 2008 adjusted gross income? I ask because it specifically mentions that it should come from your form 1040 and I obviously haven't filed my 1040 yet.

I have my w-2 for 2008 and am wondering if I should include it as proof of my 2008 income. I have seen that the NVC doesn't like you to include the w-2 if you don't have a completed return but I would like to send my w-2 as proof of last years income. I want to do this instead of sending my pay stubs or an employment letter because they might raise flags. Eventhough, I make well above the income requirements my pay stubs make it look like I have very erratic income. This is because I missed a fair amount of work during the last 8 months because I was visiting my wife overseas. The employment letter would also seem a little strange as it would indicate a 50% increase in income over last year even though I am with the same company and I haven't recieved a raise since early last year. Also, after reading the section 213a of the Immigration and Nationality Act, it says that they use the 3 most recent taxable years. Because the extension makes me exempt to file until October, it could be construed that they could use 2005 income data which would be really bad for me because it is only around $4,000 because I was still in University and only worked during the summer.

Thanks for any help.

Yeah...you can figure out if u have any adjuestments to ur income and take the figure from ur w2's and explain ur situation in ur cover letter.Yeah I suggest you should income a copy of ur W2's with all the documents relevant to ur 2008 income.As far as I know,if u file AOS with an extension,you have to file the actual return before ur interview and provide a copy during ur interview.Extension just means you have time until October to file but it doesnt mean u should nt file it now and wait til october.They would never use 2005 income as they need to see the income from most recent year means 2008,even 2007 and 2006 are optional but people send any as it shows a constant proof of income.So,i would suggest file ur return before interview.
