Before I continue filling out my I-864 form, I have a quick question.

I currently make 28k annually. I'm slightly confused however. Do I meet the requirements for the Federal Poverty Guidelines for a 2 person household in the States? I want to know if I need to include my assets or have to include a co-sponsor. I'm thinking I'm double the amount, but I suck at this stuff and wanted to be safe.

ANY help is great!

Together since 5-23-2002

Engaged 8-27-2008

Married 1-1-2010

Process began 9-1-2010

In my arms 2-28-2012

Oh, oh! Also...

Do I include copies of me W-2 forms AND copies of my filed taxes? (or both?)

I do not have transcripts from the IRS, just the e-files of what H&R block provided me and Turbotax.
