I-864 help

[sweden123 1]

I need some help to calm my nerves.

Me and My wife are soon about to send our AOS forms but i have a question.

We used to have a sponsor to secure the petition, but now that sponsor pulled out, i now want to know if we still have a chance, she now earns more that enough to cover 125% poverty line, but she hasnt earned enough the last few years. Will this be a problem ?!?!

Thank you.

Is she currently making enough?

Have you filed your 2009 taxes?

Recommended AOS package:

I-864 Coversheet (with barcode) for payment of $70

Form I-864 (signed and dated)

2009 Federal Tax Return/W2 and 1099s.

2008 Federal Tax Return and W2 and 1099s or IRS tax transcript.

2007 Federal Tax Return/W2 and 1099s or IRS Tax Transcript

Letter of Employment.

Pay stub(s) from the most recent six months.

Bank Statements.

I just started making enough to sponsor my wife last year and we filed in January (prior to doing 2009 taxes). Our lawyer told us that present income is what is important and not to worry that I didn't make enough in previous years. We did include a letter from my employer stating my current wage and work hours and estimated annual salary. We had to send in the paperwork from the last 3 years (including a year where my taxable income was actually negative), but only the current year matters according to our lawyer. So, send in all the info and then some documentation of her current income and it seems like you should be fine if what my lawyer said is accurate (and she's extremely experienced with immigration issues for people living in poverty, so I think she knows what she's talking about).

good luck!

Current income is considered first. Past income is used to show stability.

Follow the advice in sciencenerd and schinky's posts and you should be ok.

Have you spoken to an operator? Ask if they have received your AOS yet and if it is under review.

After your case is completed, NVC will schedule a date according to your consulate's availability.

ya i talked to an operator, but she said they get more than 2000 mail /day so she didn't know yet but she said there is a biogrphic form on its way from the petitioner and it's under review. so i don't know what that mean. because i sent i 864 first and then i sent ds 230.i know ds 230 already delivered because that shows in usps tracking............... so still worry about i 864.
