Please visit the NVC thread and read the first two posts. This is from the NVC thread:

What is needed in the AOS package?

Generally, the following is needed:

With no joint sponsors:

- Bar-coded cover sheet from payment portal

- Cover letter (optional)

- Completed, signed, and dated I-864 form by petitioner

- Tax information* of petitioner (either just the last year OR the last 3 years)

- Employment letter of petitioner (optional, but good proof of CURRENT income)

- Pay stub(s) of petitioner (optional, but good proof of CURRENT income)

With joint sponsors:

- All of the above of the petitioner

- Completed, signed, and dated I-864 of joint sponsor

- Tax information* of joint sponsor (either just the last year OR the last 3 years)

- Proof of US citizenship/residency of joint sponsor (ex: copy of US passport, US birth certificate, US naturalization certificate, or front & back of green card)

- Employment letter of joint sponsor (optional, but good proof of CURRENT income)

- Pay stub(s) of joint sponsor (optional, but good proof of CURRENT income)

If the joint sponsor is a household/family member, also include proof of that relationship (example: if a parent is a joint sponsor, include the petitioner's birth certificate with parents' name on it to show link).

*You have two choices here of what to send in:

- Tax return transcripts ordered from IRS (preferred by NVC and of most consulates/embassies) RECOMMENDED

OR

- Tax returns (1040) and W2s and any other schedules (if applicable)

No, you would have sent proof of his citizenship and your marriage to the USCIS already with the I-130.

You need to provide his 2011 IRS tax return transcript, they prefer if you include 2010 and 2009 as well. If you have his tax return transcripts, there's no need for W2s. There is no need for 6 pay stubs, we just included my wife's most recent pay stub (they say YTD earnings on them).

You do not need his passport pages, marriage contract, bc or anything of that nature.

If you're using his current income to meet income requirements, this is what you need:

- Bar coded cover sheet from NVC payment portal.

- Filled out and signed (by petitioner) form I864.

- 2011 IRS tax return transcript. (1040s or W2 will work, but transcripts are much easier, and preferred by both the NVC and consulates)

Recommended to include:

- Petitioner's employer letter and/or work contract.

- Petitioner's most recent pay stub.

- 2010 and 2009 IRS tax return transcripts.

We sent the above and it was accepted by the NVC.*

*If you filed taxes married filing jointly, I would include a cover letter to the NVC explaining why the personal income stated on the I-864 is different from the combined income on the tax return transcript - We did get an RFE for this.

thank you very much for d info Jayjae

he filed his last income tax return as married, but it's not combined income because i'm only his dependent, do i need to explain that to a cover letter? and he only have 2010,2009,2008 because he was not employed for 2 years, im thinking to explain that too in the cover letter.
