Please Help! NVC Sent Back i864 for Corrections

[cwespalmore 0]

Quick synopsis. I am a U.S. Citizen married. I married a Philippines citizen while she was in the U.S. She is currently in the Philippines with my two step-children. I am petitioning for all 3.

I make 26k a year, poverty guidelines for household of 4 is 30,312. Therefore, I sent a separate i864 from a cosponsor that makes 200k.

I received i864 corrections back for all 3 intending immigrants. Both i864 used my wife as the primary immigrant, and the children as the ones coming with.

1. Correction 1 was "Immigrants you are sponsoring does now allow accompanting family members. So I guess my first correction needs to be my cosponsor and me need to fill out 3 identical i864s, just change the name for the primary immigrant?

2. Correction 2 was signature must be original. I thought I was supposed to send copies and give originals during the interview? Is this not the case?

3. Correction 3 is I used 2013 taxes for my cosponsors taxes. I figured 2013, 2012, 2011 taxes would suffice since they make over 200k each year; obviously it would be around the same for 2014. The thing NVC sent back says to attach a letter saying they didn't file. So what does than entail? Just have him write a letter saying he didn't file? I know most people believe April 15th is the deadline unless an extension is given to October. But for most Americans, that is not the case. I should know I just graduated with an L.L.M. in taxation. If one receives a refund, the deadline is 3 years.... As the IRS Publication, "If you were due a refund but you did not file a return, you generally must file within 3 years from the date the return was due."

4. Not part of the thing sent by NVC, but a separate question. If we do have to send separate i864s, then why did I need a cosponsor in the first place. My household size for my wife would have been 1 for her, 1 for me. It doesn't say stepchildren counts as any so that would be 0. I haven't sponsored any other people who are NOW lawful permanent residents so my family size would be 2, way under the poverty guidelines. For her children, it would be 1 for me, 1 for being married, 1 for her child. Poverty guidelines would be 3, and I would be over again. So why the need for the cosponsor in the first place?

Thanks very much for your help!!! Sorry so long.

No matter what degree you hold, the requirements for the I-864 are what matters.

That means that the sponsor must show the most recent (3) year's tax returns and also proof of current and continuing income (unless they are self employed- then line 22 of the most recent year's form 1040 is the amount evaluated). Typically current and continuing income evidence is a few recent paystubs along with an employer letter showing position, pay rate, and length of employment.
