i-864EZ Does my wife quality?

[Abby-Ron 8]

My wife will be petitioning her mother to come to the US. My spouse and I have filed tax returns jointly for the past 4 years since we've been married. Now, my wife only wants to be the sole sponsor for her mom, will she qualify for the I-864EZ form? Basically we are confused with question 2 of the qualifications of I-864EZ form. If we file jointly on our taxes (which we have for the past 3 years), can she still use I-864EZ? We are not doing the joint-sponsor and she has enough income to support herself and her mother on this petition.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

As long as she is only using her income reported on her W-2, then she can use the EZ form.

I filed I-864EZ as well even if I filed jointly with my husband. Just remember that her income needs to support not just her mother and herself. You and your kids (if any) are counted in her household size even if you have a job as well and doesn't depend on her income.

I got my IRS transcript for 2011 (recent year) but it states its Married-Joint and does not specify individual income but the total income declared. So how does NVC know how much income is hers when only using just the IRS transcript (as I hear this is the preferred method), or should W-2 also be included? Thank you for any help provided.
