base it on your tax transcript. Ur current total income. Ex. If u have the 2014 tax transcript the total income is what u have to put in there.

Twinkz, thanks for getting back to me. However, during my 2014 tax transcript, I was unemployed and was claimed by my daughter in her taxes. I currently work now full time. Should I use my current salary to calculate my current income? Edited August 13, 2015 by fatherofthree

paystubs doesn't need to be original.

1040 is the income tax transcript, she can request it from IRS website and can be printed out online or have it send to her by mail, here's the:

Proof of relationship: marriage certificate, pictures, remittance receipts and others that proof you can think of that shows your relationship

Here's a link that show what kind of documents you need to submit to NVC, for both petitioner and beneficiary

Thank you for this.

Follow up questions hehe.

My wife started working per diem Aug 2013 and that's what we indicated in the I-130. Right now we're gathering docs for AOS and that includes the employment letter. Her employer indicated there she started May 2014 since that's when she got transferred to the department where she worked more hours (like 3-5x a week for 8hours). Would that be a problem in NVC? Do we have to put an explanation in the AOS package?

In the i-864EZ form, part 5 to be specific, there are fields there for the 3 most recent income tax returns, does that mean it is required for the petitioner to be working for 3 years? Do we just leave the other fields blank if she only worked for a year? If we leave it blank, do we have to provide an explanation for that as well?

Salamat mga kapatid hehe.

Regards,

Ron

It is not really necessary to include employment letter with your AOS, You just need to put your ITR, W2 and paystubs i think 3 months worth.. If you will include it and date is different with what you put on the papers you may have issues with it in the future. If it is possible to have another letter from her employer that states she already worked per diem since aug 2013, it would be great.

Do you mean your wife did not file income tax return few years back? if so, you may include letter of explanation stating she was unemployed between those date that is why she did not file itr. It is better to be overly prepared.

I hope i was able to help.

Thank you for your response! We're including her employment letter since her salary last year is low and would not reach the income requirement in the poverty guidelines which is also reflected in the ITR and W2 if I'm not mistaken, do correct me if I'm wrong. This your though, she is already earning more than the income requirement and the only way to prove it is using the employment letter and the paystubs.

She did not file income tax return 2 years ago since her net income was very low (around 300$) since she was only per diem that time. We'll probably just include a letter of explanation for that. With that in mind, do we leave the fields blank in the I-864EZ part 5, numbers 6.b and 6.c? This is the part where total income as reported by federal income tax returns for the 3 most recent years should be placed. We can only fill up the most recent year and the income she got last year is less than the income requirement so should we also include that and also provide an explanation for it?

You may include all the paystubs from the job she has now since she started this year and as you said she is already above the poverty line.

You don't have to explain that.

please check the instruction on how to fill up the form because i am not sure, I don't know if you have to put N/A or leave it blank when it is not applicable to you.

If her income doesn't suffice what they need, you and your wife may need to have a co-sponsor.

Did any of you guys received an IL?????

[j&ana 363]

base it on your tax transcript. Ur current total income. Ex. If u have the 2014 tax transcript the total income is what u have to put in there.

That is not correct

current income is the gross income you are expected to make for the year. total gross income from your tax transcript is what you actually did make for the year.the total income for tax return and current income will be diffrent because of time off or bonus or overtime pay or other pay and or deductions.

for most people to figure current income the formula is pay per hours x average hours work per week X 52 weeks in year =current income
