AOS- so confused!!

[emyardy 11]

I am in the process of sending out my AOS packet, but need to know one question that seems to have 1,000 answers. Do I, as the spouse of a K-1 visa holder, need to include W2s in with the 1-864, or are tax returns and bank statements enough? This I-864 is killing me!!

Also, I have Jake's DS-3025, which was given to him at Knightsbridge. Do I send this in with AOS??

Thank you!

The way I read the instructions, you have two ways of substantiating your individual income. Either you send a transcript from the IRS, or you send a copy of your tax return. If you send a copy of your tax return, you have to include copies of all your W-2s and 1099-anythings for each year that you send a copy of a tax return for. The bank statements are only for when your individual income doesn't meet the poverty guideline for a household of your size.

Ah, great.. So if I have the tax transcripts, rather than a tax return, it is not necessary to submit W2s??

Correct. The IRS tax transcripts contain all the information needed. Then, send a letter from employer and/or recent pay stubs to prove current income.
