Pay stubs are OPTIONAL in the AOS package. You're fine!

Hello Saylin,

It's me again. You've been very helpful, by the way. My husband and I are way over the poverty line because he has a regular job as a professor in a college. We submitted 1040 for 3 recent tax years, w2's for 3 recent tax years, employment letter and pay stubs (but just for the recent 3 months). Although the pay stubs are OPTIONAL, I read in the guidelines that we should submit paystubs for the recent 6 months. Do you think we're fine with just submitting 3 months of paystubs? Thanks!

My petitioner is way over the poverty line because he has a regular job as a teacher and I am the only beneficiary he is sponsoring. We submitted 1040 for 3 recent tax years, W2s for 3 recent tax years, employment letter and pay stubs (but just for the recent 3 months). Although the pay stubs are OPTIONAL, I read in the guidelines that we should submit paystubs for the recent 6 months. Do you think we're fine with just submitting 3 months of paystubs? Thanks!

Most pay stubs show what has been paid year to date (YTD). If your stubs have this figure, the only the most recent one you received would be sufficient.
