Hello VJers!

Just a quick question. Let's just say if I am able to support my wife and me, would I still need to fill the I864 out? Am I basically just sponsoring myself? If I do have to fill the form out, so I fill out everything under me?

Thanks in advance for your help! Good luck!

The I-864 is a form stating to the govt that the sponsor (you) meets or exceeds the poverty line and is able to support the beneficiary (your wife) and is a contract that says that even in the event of divorce, you are obligated to support your wife until she becomes a citizen.

So yes, you need to fill it out and attach the appropriate tax forms as the instructions indicate.

If you are the petitioner you have to file form I-864. If you are the beneficiary you cannot sponsor yourself. I think you can add your income if you filed taxes together and you worked legally.

So if I don't need a sponsor, I can just leave the sponsor part blank?

no, you are required to have the sponsor fill out the I-864 form. I'm assuming you are the beneficiary?

I am the petitioner. In addition, I only have 2 years of tax forms from the IRS. They "require" 3 years. How would I go about this?

You don't need to attach all the prior years' tax forms, just the most recent one. As for the "3 years prior", I'm not sure ... do you not have it because you didn't file or because you lost it? what?

You, as the petitioner, are the primary sponsor. So the sponsor part of the I-864 would be about you. They require ONLY the latest tax documents, but as far as I know, you are still required to state your income from the 2nd and 3rd most recent years on the I-864 form.

I didn't file because I was a dependent under my parents. I tried going to the IRS website and requesting it, but they say they don't have it as well :wacko:

They don't have something that doesn't exist. If you didn't file because you had no income, just hand write, for the 2009 section, "Income below threshold. Not required to file." Start now by reading the I-864 instructions and those for the I-864EZ. You can probably use the EZ but YOU are the sponsor for your foreign spouse.

Facts are cheap...knowing how to use them is precious...
