Hi Everyone,

I am applying for AOS from a K1 my wife has been living with me in Australia and has been out of work. She does have tax returns for the last 3 years.

Can someone tell me if we are supposed to put her annual salary for the past three years even though she will not meet the sponsor criteria and do we need to include anything else.

Her father is a joint sponsor and he will earn more than enough to meet the criteria. My big question is when it asks for the latest tax return which forms do we need to send exactly? Is it just the W2 or other forms also.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks so much.

You put whatever is on her taxes as her income (it won't really matter as you have a joint sponsor).

The dad can include his tax return transcripts, which he can get for free from the IRS.

Her father will need to submit either tax transcripts or copies of complete tax returns, i.e. form 1040 with all the required schedules and attachments including W2s.

OK, exactly which forms do we include for the tax transcripts, the W2 and the 1040, is there anything else that would be needed?

All you need is the tax return transcripts which you can get for free from the IRS. You do not need other forms such as the W2s, just the tax return transcripts.

OK thanks so much. If my wife is not currently working and has no income at present should we just leave the space to put her income as blank or actually write $00.00?

Also, I was going to include the saving I have in my US account but I have not been working in the US and do not have a tax return. Will they require my tax return or just proof I actually have the money in my account?

Thanks so much for all your help!

Write 0, they don't like blank spaces as they can;t tell if you forgot to put anything there, deliberately skipped it or it's 0.

Presumably yours is a non-resident bank account? If so, no tax filing is needed and you can include it if you want, though since you have a co-sponsor, it may be "tidier" not to.

I think that may be easier, thanks so much for your advise.

Hi Everyone,

I just wanted to clear something up before I send all of this off today.

My father in law and joint sponsor has had an income of over 100000 but this last tax year he made 50000 would that still make the poverty guidelines?

I have checked the guidelines and from what I understand I think it does but I want to make sure before I send this package off. He only has himself, his spouse and myself (3 people) as dependents.

Thanks for your help.
