Form I864

[forever waiting 11]

Hi everyone, I am helping a friend filling out the forms so he can bring his wife to usa.

The NVC asked for the I864 for the third time, each time they also ask for additional evidence.

This time they asked for the form again plus checking account, job letter and pay stubs. We want to do this right so they wont come back and ask for anything else.

He has his 2013 taxes which his accountant prepared with his wife. They have not filed the taxes yet, they are waiting for her to arrive in the US and obtain a SSN, Does this sound right? Second question is he has to send in a copy of his 2013 taxes and would they accept it with his wife's name on the return , since he is sponsoring her?

We're so confused, any help would be so much appreciated.

Thank you

Assuming he is an USC, he can get an ITIN number for her from the IRS before she arrived and file their taxes immediately. In such cases, she can be a resident for joint filing but non-resident in terms of foreign income assuming she never set foot on US soil during the tax year. If her income is much lower than his, they can save a lot on federal taxes. When she gets an SSN, she can switch to that.

Thank you PK, that answer does help, I guess that can be submitted to the USCIS and explained that ITIN application is in process. I knew I would get the answer here:) Much appreciated:)
