Documents for AOS ,How much is too much?

[happywifeymom 4]

Hello Fellow Vj members,

Here i am again asking for your opinion. As you all know my USC husband filed 2 separate I-130 petitions for my 2 minor kids in the Philippines.

Hubby lost his job for a couple of months reason why we are off $500 to meet the poverty requirement. Now we have a co-sponsor and we are ready to submit the documents needed along with the affidavit of support.

I am full time working and our co-sponsor has 2 jobs and with all our tax documents, paystubs, tax transcripts (for 3 people me, hubby and co-sponsor) we are sending about 120 pages of documents in each petition filed.

I am scared of getting an RFE and we are only sending the documents needed , nothing more , nothing less.

My questions are:

1. Is this documents too much to send to NVC?..

2. How much is too much?? We only send the documents that were asked to submit(120 pages).

Please i would appreciate any help you can extend us.

Do you really need to send 120 pages of documents for each application?

You should go through them and only submit what the form requires for each application.

Not knowing the paticulars for your case, 120 pages per seems a bit much.

For starters - if you are providing tax transcripts, you do not need "all our tax documents". (now, if your transcripts are taking up the bulk of your count - then no issues.)

Thanks for your reply. We have to submit my husband's I-864 and my I-864A and our co-sponsor's I-864 as well together with each of our proof of income stuff.

Yes i am sending 3 years tax return of us and our co-sponsor plus the 3 years tax transcripts. Also our co-sponsor has 2 jobs and she gets paid every week (2 pages each paycheck) and that alone is 8 pages per month times 6 months.

We are also sending my husband and my paystubs for 6 months plus other documents required. Is it okey to just send the 3 yrs federal tax return with W2 and 1040 and not include the tax transcript?

ALso our co-sponsor has 1 full time and 1 part time job(on Saturdays) can we just submit her proof of income in her full time job? or shoud we include the par time job's income as well??

Please help as am freaking out wether to submit all this or no? I am fear of getting an RFE. Thank you so much.

If your co-sponsor is submitting transcripts, all income should be listed on them, no need to provide each paycheck.

If the full time income is sufficient, no need for the part time, but again, it will be all on the transcripts. But in reality, you would want to show all income, more = better.

There is no requirement for the transcripts, you could send the 1040's/w-2's/1099 as appropriate. (copies of course)

You will not get an RFE for submitting to much info, as long as it's the correct info for the form you are sending.

Here is what the 864 instructions state:

You may include evidence supporting your claim about your expected income for the current year if you believe that submitting this evidence will help you establish ability to maintain sufficient income.

You are not required to submit this evidence, however, unless specifically instructed to doso by a Government official. For example, you may include a recent letter from your employer, showing your employer's address and telephone number, and indicating your annual salary. You may also provide pay stub(s) showing your income for the previous six months. If your claimed income includes alimony, child support, dividend or interest income,or income from any other source, you may also include evidence of that income.

and about the transcripts/copies of the tax forms:

You must provide either an IRS transcript or a photocopy from your own records of your Federal individual income tax return for the most recent tax year. If you believe additional returns may help you to establish your ability to maintain sufficient income, you may submit transcripts or photocopies of your Federal individual income tax returns for the three most recent years.
