My husband who is my petitioner didn't file a 2008 tax return because he ain't earned enought money. Does anynoe knows what kind of proof should we inlcude to explain this? just an statement letter?

Thanks!!

A letter is normally sufficient, however if he has any proof like a W-2 it wouldn't hurt to send a copy.

Thanks, but I was not looking for spelling lessons

I thought "ain't earned" was cute and charming !!

I'm sure there is a sample letter lurking around here somplace, but I don't know where. I read the I-864 instructions and it sounds like a simple one line letter saying something like "I was not required to file in 2008 since my income of $XXX was below the minimum amount of $XXX for that year."

You can go to the IRS web site or call their help line to get the minimum anount for 2008, or maybe someone will come along who knows the answer.

Where are you from in Mexico...my wife grew up in DF, but has lived in Costa Rica for many years.

Thank you very much for your advice, I'll definetely call the IRS because that is the only blank line in our I864 and we are good to go!

I was born DF too!!, I was brought by my parents to Tx when I was 14. Have you been to Mexico city? it's such a great place.

Thank you again!

Love Mexico City...my wife has a house there, but it has been empty for almost ten years since her mother died, and needs a lot of attention...we hope to rejuvenate it over the next few years as we have a few extra $$, and maybe that is where we end up eventually.
