IR-5 Timeline

It's in the instructions. Total income from your tax returns if you file jointly.

IIRC, adjusted gross is for form I-864EZ

Sorry, so this is the total income from our W2s correct?

Also, the status of my AOS payment is now PAID but the IV is still greyed out?

NOT from the W2, from your tax returns.

Wait for the IV, it'll work.

Do I need to send the state tax return too or 1040 only?

Only federal.

OK, I submitted DS260 online today and sent both AOS and IV packet supporting docs.

Fingers crossed, no RFE. Lord, I'm lifting everything to you.

Will be waiting for Case completion patiently.

[bryn&ellen 13]

Fingers' crossed to everyone.

No RFE here but I, basically, had to fill up the Affidavit of Support again for my mother and I just sent it today. I received a checklist and wants me to complete and send the I-864 and correct the following: "The income you enter must match the total (gross) income reported on your most recent Federal income tax return." I checked our IRS transcripts and found out that I put the wrong figures. Well, I asked my husband which figures I should put in the form and he pointed the wrong ones. The email also said, give them 20 days to review the documents. And of course, I will have to redo my father's AOS forms (that I all ready sent) too because I put the same wrong figures there. oh well....

Hi,

I filed for my parents as well; however , I am waiting for my case number. Anyway, how did you send lBs package? Ie two different ones for both files, but I only have one set of originals will NVC give me two case numbers one for mom and one f or dad?

Trying to understand what you guys are putting on the AOS. I had an odd 2013, so I have 2 W2's and a 1099 as well. You guys are saying the exact match, but in 2013 I was laid off from a job in April, did contract work until I had my baby in August and then started my current job in October. The salary that I make per year now will not reflect what is listed on my IRS transcript. I am still well above the poverty line, so I am not worried about making too little. Last years total gross is actually going to end up being more than what I will make for this upcoming year. My letter of employment will not match what my earnings were for last year so what the heck do I do?

I'm going to cross-post this as well in the CR-1 forum.

Hi,

What line is the total (gross) income reported on your most recent Federal income tax return?

[Ilarrotta 2]

Same here! Hoping everything will be ok. What did you write about the vaccinations? I was a little confused about it.

I researched the vaccination question< and it is definitely a "yes". The parent will have the record by the time of the interview no matter what. And if you say "no", it puts them into "inadmissible for failure to provide vaccination records".

My husband had two jobs in 2013. There is still only one total gross income on the tax return. And yes, the salary on the employment letter is different. But NVC wants the number off the tax returns. Letter of employment is totally optional.

Put whatever number is on your tax return and attach all the w2s and 1099s (if the 1099s are federal, IIRC they are not interested in state and local, but I am not sure since we have no 1099s at all).

Hi,

What line is the total (gross) income reported on your most recent Federal income tax return?

Based on our transcript 2012, the fourth page of the paper, under "Adjustments to Income" there's a line in the end that says "Adjusted Gross Income". I just assumed that that's what they are asking because I can't find any other else that says gross income. Anyone can back me up here?
