Affidavit of Support confusion

[aleful 1,905]

hi

she needs to submit last years taxes at least, no need for W2

they might approve her based on this years current income, she has to prove that this years income is above the poverty guidelines. I'm not sure

[alefonck 16]

Yes we understand that he I184EZ is for her salary only. Her salary this year is much higher than last year.

Will her last year's W2 (which she will submit since its the one available) not be a factor since it has lower income and would not be enough to pass the income requirement?

Regards,

Ron

It only matters that she made enough money this year, and this can be proved by attaching an employment letter and pay stubs of her current income.

Thanks! Will it matter if she earns per diem or not? If she has made $19912+ since January this year and provide all the pay stubs for it, will that be enough evidence of income along with the IRS Tax Transcript and employment letter since the income requirement for household size of 2 is 19912$?

Yes, that's fine as long as annually she makes more than that amount. Yes, that is enough evidence.

Thanks! With that in mind, we can file the I-184EZ right?

Yes, sir.

Good luck with the rest of your process.

Yes, sir.

Good luck with the rest of your process.

I just read I-864EZ instructions in the "Who May Use Form I-864EZ". It has 3 conditions on who can use that form. I am confused with the 3rd one.

The income you are using to qualify is based entirely on your salary or pension and is shown on one or more Internal Revenue Service (IRS) Form W-2s provided by your employers or former employers.

This means she has to submit the W-2 she got last year which has an income lower than the income requirement. Won't that be an issue?

You have to send last year's tax transcript, yes. But the poverty line issue is based solely on this year's income. I am telling you this from experience since my petitioner did not make enough money last year, only this year and got my case completed at NVC with no checklists.

Thank you so much alefonck! This is very much appreciated!

I would assume that your petitioner did not have to look for a joint sponsor right?

May I know what other proof of income you sent along with the AOS?

Ron

hi

your wife, the i864 as sponsor

her mom or dad: one files the i864 as joint sponsor, the other one files the i864A as his or her household member

i've just finished my case complete in nvc, gone through almost similar condition in AOS,

The docs we submitted

1. i864 for my wife,

2. I864A for her father (living in same address)

3. I864A for her mother (living in same address)

and other supporting documents for proving the income,

so far no issues with the forms i've submitted, but got a checklist for a signature that is missing in one of the forms, (i've the xerox of all the docs sent to nvc, in that version sign is present, may be it got erased while posting )

Actually, my petitioner was short about $100 from the poverty line so I used a household member in order to make it. My household member had actually not even worked in 2013 and only filed his taxes for the first time in 2014 jointly with my petitioner. For the petitioner I sent last year's transcript which is also the household member's, W2's (which are not required if submitting transcript, but did it anyway) 1 paystub, letter of employment. For the household member I only sent one paystub apart from the transcript. I didn't send much and found no trouble whatsoever.

I see. So for my wife(petitioner), if her monthly salary x 12 (months) would exceed the poverty line, we would not need a joint sponsor right? If that is the case, we'll just send her IRS transcript, last year's W2 even if it's not required, 6 months of paystubs just to be sure, and letter of employment. That would be sufficient enough correct?

Thank you aleful! Alefonck said the same so perhaps we just really need the I-184EZ since my wife's income this year would reach the income requirement for a 2 person household.

i've just finished my case complete in nvc, gone through almost similar condition in AOS,

The docs we submitted

1. i864 for my wife,

2. I864A for her father (living in same address)

3. I864A for her mother (living in same address)

Thank you rony.rude! It seems like we'll be able to use the EZ form. I hope your process is doing fine.

Another question, in the letter of employment, should the salary stated there be gross salary? Also, the Salary Requirement in the poverty guidelines is in gross or net?

Thanks,

Ron
