I-864 income/joint sponsor question

[kgo 0]

hi, we are filling out the I-864 and have some questions.

we are using 2006, 2007 and 2008 for my (the sponsor) tax information, as the 2009 taxes won't be done until a month from now.

the problem is, for 2006 and 2007 I was above the poverty level... but for 2008 I was under the poverty level (by a lot). and 2008 will be the most recent provided.

in 2009 I was well above the poverty level.. but we have to send my husbands AoS in before those taxes will be done..

if I just include the 2006/2007/2008 numbers and also include my last 6 pay stubs, as well as a letter from my employer stating that I make way more than the poverty limit now.. will they look past the fact that the most recent year provided was too little?

or are we going to have problems?

sorry if that was confusing but I hope someone understands and can offer advice..

should we just get a joint sponsor instead?

Yes- if you provide current income levels, with the evidence you mentioned, they will consider that.

Thanks so much.. you are a real great help around here.

Everyone is.. I feel bad asking so many questions.. but you guys are just too helpful and this can be really complicated.

we will give it a shot and see what happens! I have a feeling it will be fine.
