I-864 : US citizen being supported by immigration applicant

[Romonster 0]

Hello!

I am applying for a green card and my wife, who is a US citizen, and I are in the middle of filling out all the forms for i-130 and i-485 packets.

The i-864 requires evidence from the US citizen proving that they can support the applicant. Our problem is that ever since we have been together I was the one making the money and supporting our household, mostly because she was volunteering this past year and did not have a real salary. Her past 3 w-2s show a level of income that doesn't meet the minimum requirement. (mine do, however)

She is starting a new job in August but I need to apply now if I want to maintain a legal status in the US. Her new job will pay her well enough to support both of us.

My question is: what do I do about the evidence required for the i-864? Do I send a copy of her new contract? Should I still attach her w-2s even though the amount does not meet the requirement? Should I also send my w-2s and copies of my pay-stubs?

Thank you for your help!

I think sending a copy of her new contract would be sufficient actually. The past income doesn't matter -- they look at current income, as far as I can tell.
