Best of luck for your CC. :) I also want to mail the package latest by tomorrow. Should I attach the AOS cover sheet with both the packages? (AOS and IV) I don't have the IV cover sheet yet. Help please.

That's what I did. I've seen others on this forum do it and had reps on the phone advise them to do it this way. I was willing to take the risk even though it isn't exactly the procedure via the NVC website.

Hey guys,

We are going to send in our AOS/IV either tomorrow or the next day, but I wanted to run it by all of you knowledgeable people, before it is too late to change it.

I don't make enough to sponsor my wife, nor do I meet the requirements for domicile, so I am really only sending in the AOS and evidence because I am required to. I called the NVC and was told that even though I wont be sponsor it is better to include more rather than not enough documentation; so, I've included pretty much everything for the last 3 tax years, plus a letter from my employer about 2014.

So, here is the list portion of my AOS cover letter. Is there anything I should add? Remove?

Saylin and Kaelabelle, I'd love it if you guys could get in on this :)

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Please find enclosed the Form I-864, Affidavit of Support, for my spouse and beneficiary, ___________________________, and supporting documents as follows:

  • AOS bar-coded cover sheet

  • Form I-864 (signed and dated)

  • Letter explaining current employment and tax situation.

  • 2011 Tax Transcript

  • 2012 IRS Letter of Non-Filing Status

  • 2012 I-1040 Instructions for Filing (selected pages)

  • 2012 IRS Publication 54 Tax Guide for US Citizens and Resident Aliens Abroad (selected pages)

  • 2013 IRS Letter of Non-Filing Status

  • 2013 Letter from Brazilian Employer stating total earned in 2013 (Less $ than amount requiring that I file taxes) - Portuguese

  • 2013 Letter from Brazilian Employer stating total earned in 2013 - English

  • 2013 I-1040 Instructions for Filing (selected pages)

  • 2013 IRS Publication 54 Tax Guide for US Citizens and Resident Aliens Abroad (selected pages)

  • 2014 Letter of Employment from Brazilian Employer stating total earned in 2014 - Portuguese

  • 2014 Letter of Employment from Brazilian Employer stating total earned in 2014 - English

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Thanks in advance for all the help. You guys are all life savers!

If you're not making enough to sponsor, then have you found a joint sponsor that does make enough to sponsor the beneficiary? You'll need all their paperwork.

And where's the proof of US domicile? If you're living abroad, you need to include this. You can find a long list of evidence ideas on my wiki.

Glad my DOS tip has worked for a few of you! Hopefully it shaves off time and frustrations from having to re-dial so many dang times!

Please read my wiki for the phone number and trick if you don't know what I'm talking about ;)

Hello Saylin,

I have a question regarding the current individual annual income in the I864 form. Can I put annual approximate amount in it? It has nothing to do with the IRs transcripts, right?

Thanks in advance. :)

ok so I made way over to H and R block to file my taxes.. and I told her I can file three ways , MFS , MFJ or head of house hold.. she goes somewhere comes back and says no you can only file MFS .. so she goes about doing it and gets stuck on his social so she bypasses it and cant finish because it wont let her put in NRA for some reason , then she says I need another paper and wait two or three weeks and come back .. and at the end it shows I owe them money! really? but anyways I go home and search and it says if he fills out a w-7 I can file MFJ .. my question is what have you filed and is one way better then the other? . but she was everywhere and said this is her first time with a husband not in the country so she kept going to someone else but they seemed as lost as her . and then she blames her not understanding because they got a new system. I called and canceled and told them to forget everything and im not coming back lol.. but if they are right I can go back im sure.. just checking .
