Hello, I am preparing the AOS form. I need a joint sponsor, so I am having my Dad also fill an I-864 since we do not share the residence. Now he has filed MFJ 1040 tax form. that form does not say his income alone....its a sum total of my parents. What do I do in this case? Also, in 2013 we shared the residence so he has claimed me as dependant. Im very confued what to do...

Thank you! Exactly what I needed!

Here's the link, if anyone else's looking for it: http://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/480038-ds-260-blank-2014-version-here/

Hi! I created a Word document from the DS260 form in the link above to help me collect my data, until it's time to submit the real form online. I would like share this Word doc with everyone, but the Visa Journey site didn't allow me to (said "You aren't permitted to upload this kind of file"). Would anyone tell me what I need to do in order to upload it? Thanks

When you send in the electronic documents I understand they want all the scanned documents in separate attachments. So how would you put your tax transcripts/tax returns in the email. In the same PDF as the I-864 or in a separate PDF? And how would you label them if in a separate PDF?

and in addition to Saylin's response, have a look back around March 7 posts in this thread as I asked a question all about the PDF files and naming, to which Saylin responded to clarify the process:)

I was just wondering how come you are already filling out the I-864? when you just received the NOA1?

That's not my wiki, it's Darnell's. Looking at the history date, it hasn't been updated since August 2013, so no, it's not up to date.

1. DS-3032 = DS-261, DS-230 = DS-260

2. Yes, I believe this is still recommended.

Added!

Yes, send it all. Everything that was sent to the IRS should be sent to NVC.

You can't bring original tax returns anywhere as those were sent to the IRS. The only ones you can possibly bring are copies wink.png

It's up to you if you include additional evidence in the IV package or not. This is typically only recommended for MENA countries though.

Added... for now. Please create a timeline or I'll remove you.

Updated.

And yes, it's taking quite awhile to assign case numbers. If you looked at the spreadsheet, you can see this for yourself.

That's not enough information to tell you if you need a joint sponsor or not. Are you currently working? If so, are you above the poverty line for your household size?

Since you quoted INSIDE a quote, this didn't show above, but you mentioned your service center was CSC, not NBC. I'd like to point to both your profile and timeline that both show NBC as your service center. Please update if California was indeed the correct location.

Saylin, Am a medical physician by proffession and my 11 & 12 tax returns were way over the poverty guidelines ...

though i have not been working since past one year - so would i be needing a joint sponsor for my spouse.

They re-added previous employment?! I know it started that way, then they removed it, and IIRC correctly, they re-added and removed it again. So, now they're re-added it again?! Goodness NVC headbonk.gif

Keep in mind, the DS-260 only asks for the last FIVE visits to the US ;)

Just curious. Is there a way to go into the CBP office and find out when exactly my wife has entered the states? We live on the border and cross all the time back and forth without really paying attention.
