Affidavit of support

[Angie Y Shane 2]

I was wondering do they look at your employment letter as a current employment on your affidavit of support? I'm above income poverty guidelines. My last years taxes were below poverty guidelines a little. My other tax return prior were good. Does anyone know how strict they become with the I-864?

hi there...

From what I've heard/read, they are pretty strict, especially with the most current year, if not all years. The whole point of the AOS is to prove that you're capable of supporting your immigrating spouse so all aspects of it have to match up and show that ability to support both you and your spouse.

But, that being said, I am not a sage and who knows what they'll overlook and what they won't but I believe it's better to err on the side of caution.

Good luck!

Current income is the focus. Showing that current year income will exceed the requirement (paystubs, employer letter) is important.

If your income history is inconsistent with regard to meeting the guideline/requirement the CO may require a co-sponsor. For the most part if you meet the income number you are ok.
