I-864 (affidavit of support)

[JL204 0]

Hi! =)

I have a few questions about I-864 (Affidavit of Support) in connection with submitting the I-485 (Adjustment of Status).

1st question:

We are a little confused with part 5 #21 of the I-864 form. It's asking us to fill in the household size and not to count anyone twice...there's only the 2 of us in the house...me (the sponsor) and my wife(the applicant)...there are boxes where you have to put the number of people for:

1.) persons being sponsored in this affidavit (in this case, my wife)

2.) persons NOT sponsored in the affidavit:

a. yourself (which would be me)

b. if you are currently married, enter "1" for your spouse (which would be my wife again)

so if i put "1" on all 3 boxes because they all apply to me, that would make us "3" in the household...but there are only "2"... is this ok or should i put "0" in one of the above boxes?

2nd question:

in the CHECKLIST of items to be submitted with I-864 for all sponsors, I've never received a Form 1099 and I don't know what a Schedule is...are these really required or are the Form 1040s and W2s enough? I also ordered a tax return transcript from IRS.

Please help me out. Thanks! =)

If you are two in the household it should be two... If your spouse is the beneficerary then you count as one... so the total is 2... The part about the spouse is if for instance you are sponsoring another family member, say your parents, then there would be an additional spouse...

if there are two of you, the household size is two....

so if i put "1" on all 3 boxes because they all apply to me, that would make us "3" in the household...but there are only "2"... is this ok or should i put "0" in one of the above boxes? see above

2nd question:

I also ordered a tax return transcript from IRS. 1099 and additional schedules may be a part of a tax return. If you only have wage income then W2 would be it. As you are using the IRS transcripts you won't need to send anything else.

Please help me out. Thanks! =)

I put 1 on box which is you sponsored the intending immigrant then another 1 which is the sponsor (you) and I leave it blank if you are currently married (which the person whom you are sponsoring.) since the intending immigrant is ypur spouse you dont have to put 1 again on that box. So all in all the household size is only 2.

Hi!

We have a joint sponsor which has 7 in Household including me ... His total income in 2009 is insufficient to complete what is required. I want to know if my husband's income would be counted to reach the requirement?

[marriedtomrg 141]

What is your co-sponsor's current income? That's what they will look at and compare to the 125% of the poverty guidelines.
