HI everyone ,

I'm new here and hoping I can get help and help others with anything I can.

Well thing that has me going crazy right now is that I'm filling out a I-864 and yes its part #25 the part that everyone ask of , so my thing is that I took time off from working for some time and did not start working again till the end of 2010 so with that said I have only file taxes in 2011 I made 47k that year and I still at the same job this year 2012 I should end the year some where in the 50-54k area so can I still be eligible for the I-864 and Do I check box #25 or not since I have not work for the past 3 years and what do I put in the other lines for the years I did not work?

if someone could help me with this it would be a life saver , thanks everyone

In looking at Question 25 on the I-864, you only have to list your income for the past 3 years, but you only have to attach tax transcripts for the most recent tax year. It looks like your income is pretty high for the requirements. If you're not using a cosponsor, you can fill out the I-864EZ form if all of the following statements apply to you:

1. You are the person who filed the I-130 petition

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

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).

I filed the I-864EZ since I had enough income to sponsor my husband and I submitted my tax transcripts for 2009, 2010, and 2011 (although 2011 is the only one that's required).

Hope this helps
