Will I need a cosponsor?

[Dayna 0]

My husband will be going to Ankara for his interview on March 27th

and I received email from consulate saying they will need my 1040 and W2s from 2005 tax year.

That year, I was laid off and received unemployment compensation.

Plus, I filed 1040EZ form not the long-form 1040. My total wages was about $14,500 with unemployment income of $6500, giving me a total gross income of $21,000. Which will they use as my total income? The $14,500 or $21,000???

Also, why are they requesting this information again? We sent my tax transcripts and employment letter (which shows I make well over the poverty level now) along with all the documents that Ankara requested.

This is making me so nervous!

If you earn above the Poverty Guidelines and you can show that with the letter from your employer and pay stubs, maybe some deposit info from your bank, then you do not need a co-sponser. They use your Tax return, but it is not the end-all.
