I-864 and form W-2

[TOM&Riz 4]

But the I-864 doesn't say I can provide tax transcripts... I cannot find it! And, also, if I don't have some slips but the slips I have are enough to prove my joint sponsor has enough money (more than 125% of poverty line), wouldn't that be ok?

Rob are you not getting this information or not understanding what has been already presented to you ? I already posted a copied directly from Chapter 20.5 of the Adjudicator’s Field Manual (AFM)

Note that, by signing the Form I-864 or Form I-864EZ under penalty of perjury, a sponsor certifies that the transcript or photocopy is true and correct.

I know but the missing slips? Will they be a problem? A user said so

Short answer is NO

but the reality is you really should read the AFM for yourself, trailmix was kind enough to give you a link to it

Note: USCIS may also decide that a request for evidence is not necessary in a case in which the sponsor filed a photocopy, of a return instead of a transcript, but forgot to submit the Forms W-2 or 1099. A decision not to request additional evidence will be proper if USCIS concludes that the evidence of record, taken as a whole, makes it reasonable to infer that the information on the tax return is true.

(1) Federal Tax Returns. Each sponsor must submit either a transcript or a copy of his or her most recent US. Federal individual income tax return (Form 1040, 1040A or 1040EZ), including all Schedules filed with the IRS. If the sponsor submits a copy of the tax return, he or she must also include copies of any and all IRS Forms W-2 and 1099 that reflect income used to qualify. The second note under paragraph 20.5(e)(2) provides guidance regarding what to do if a W-2 or 1099 is missing. Note, however, that it is not necessary to submit the Forms W-2 or 1099 if a transcript, rather than a copy, of the tax return is submitted. State or foreign income tax returns are not acceptable; if submitted, they must be returned to the intending immigrant.

Hi folks!

Updates: my joint sponsor told me that she doesn't have the 1099 forms for the trust fund in her husband's name (he is deceased) because for a series of reasons she doen't need to have them. So I will have her mail me a statement explaining why she doesn't have them, is that ok?

Thanks a lot!!
