I-864 Package Questions

[libragodess 1]

Hello my fellow VJrs,

I recieved my I-864 package and am ready to mail it off tomorrow. I have a few details I'm nervous about and I really need your input.

Here's what I'll be mailing please help me double check that it's all there.

1. Barcode Sheet

2. Proof of Citizenship ready in the form of all pages of my passport copied.

3. I have signed the Authorization for Release of Federal Tax Data

4. This is where it gets questionable..... The I-864 application they sent me had the Poverty Guidelines, Instructions for the I-864, Checklist for the I-864, and then the application for the I-864 stapled together. This application is the OLD version. I simply took out the application and instructions and put in the newer version and stapled everything back together. Do you think that is okay? Another question : does the Poverty Guidlines, and instructions have to be stapled to the I-864 application at all? I was under the impression we just staple the pages of the application together.

5. Copies of 1040 and W2 for 2005

6. I chose to send an employment letter and copies of my last 6 months pay stubs. Here's another question: Since this is an "option" does one really have to send in 6 months or can I send 3 months instead? That's alot of copies as I get a check every week! LOL

Thanks you so much for your

Thanks you so much for your

Looks like, you got everything that you need.

2. I think, you don't need to submit the proof of your (if you are the petitioner) US citizenship, as you have already submitted it when you filed I-130. But if you have a co sponsor, then the co sponsor needs to submit his/her proof of citizenship

4. The old I-864 version requires it to be notarized and last 3 years' tax returns with W-2s. But the way you described, it seems to be the new version. You don't need to send the proverty guidelines, instructions, as they are for you to understand the paperwork. You only send the application form which you filed it out along with the documents that they asked for (tax info, W-2, employment letter, paystubs, etc). You can ask NVC the pay stub questions. I think, if you send them your last 3 months' pay stubs, it will be ok. But just call them to get their answer.

hi,

the new guide says to submit the last 6 paystubs, so I would really check back with them.
