I-864 cover lettter and Tax

[jubinrr 3]

Hey guys, Just was looking at I-864 Cover Letter and in there it states like this for example.

2007 Federal Tax Return, W2 and 1099INT, 1099DIV

2007 Tax Transcript

2006 Federal Tax Return, W2 and 1099INT, 1099DIV <optional, but good to have>

2006 Tax Transcript

2005 Federal Tax Return, W2 and 1099INT, 1099DIV <optional, but good to have>

2005 Tax Transcript

Do you need to include the Tax Return and the Tax Transcript. Have you guys send in both? I don't want to make the stack thick for NVC to think what is this.

Let me know your opinions.

I plan to send my tax transcripts for the year 2011 (mandatory), 2010 and 2009. In addition, I also plan to send the W2s for the three years and the pay stubs for the past three pay pay periods.

Since I am using my salary to establish the basis for support coupled with the fact that my spouse is the only one I am petitioning for, I plan to file I-864EZ instead of I-864.

Hope this helps!

Tax transcripts OR tax return with all the documents. Miss a supporting document and get an RFE. That is why VJers recommend the tax transcripts as the preferred way to go. No need to send anything else in plus it is what the IRS has received from you, very hard to fake that.

Good luck,

Dave

Hmm.. Did not know about I-864EZ. My wife is the only one on the I-130 petition so I should also use this?

You may use Form I-864EZ IF ALL the following conditions apply:

1. You are the person who filed or is filing the Form I-130, Petition for Alien Relative, for a relative being sponsored;

2. The relative you are sponsoring is the only person listed on the Form I-130 petition;

3. The income you are using to qualify is based entirely on your salary or pension and is shown on one or more Forms W-2 provided by your employer(s) or former employer(s).

It's either/or, not both. If you have tax transcripts, send those.
