Sponsorship I-864!

[andre 0]

I have a few questions. Maybe some of you that went through this may help me.

I have a job I earn about 20,000 but last year I only made 13,000 because I visited my wife for 4 months. Now I have one joint sponsor, my father who makes 40,000 and his household is 3 persons. I know there is no problem with the income but.....

Do I still have to complete an I-864? In the packet it says yes but just trying to make sure.

If I do,,, do I still have to include my 1040, the letter and stubs? I only have my W2 from 2005.

For the JOINT SPONSOR I have everything, 1040, W2s (Last 3 years just in case), letter and stubs.

Is it ok to just have the I864 and the W2 for me? Would that be enough since my Joint Sponsor I-864 has everything?

Andre, yes you need to complete an I-864 for yourself. The recent requirement is only the most recent year's tax return and W-2. So you are fine, since you have 2005's stuff.

Your joint sponsor (your dad) can also submit only the most recent year's stuff, but he may want to submit the last 3 years' instead, if he wants.

The best rule to follow is the more documents you can send in to support your case, the better. So yes, you'll need your latest W2, and your latest tax return to match. Since you're using a joint sponsor, you'll have to include his W2, and latest tax returns as well. A letter from your employers confirming your employment and salary is always a good idea as well. Remember, the purpose of the I-864 is to show that when your spouse gets here, you'll be able to support her without state aid (welfare). Aussiewench has included some useful tips on this subject too so check out what she has to say.

Good luck and best wishes.

You can get your 1040's for 2005 by calling the IRS. They mail it to you within 10 business days. I would advise that you do that. Other wise you sound good to go!!!!

I just called the IRS and I will get it in 10 day. Thank you for the info.

One problem will be that NVC received the AOS Bill and IV bill on the Aug 14th, so I think next week they will generate the I-864 and I wont have the Tax return although my sponsor has everything.

Hopefully next week they will generate the DS-230 too, that way I will send both at the same time and get this thing over with.

I am not going to go with K3 even if it gets approved next week. At the embasy in Bucharest there is like one week and a half between the time the NVC sends the packet for CR1 to the consulate and the Interview,, and I think that this whole process (if I dont get any RFEs) will not take more that a month and a half from now.

k3 will be just a waiste of money and time.
