Do you need joint sponsor? I wonder because you are listing proof of US citizenship

For AOS:

Be careful on what type of I-864 you need to file. Read carefully.

http://travel.state.gov/content/visas/en/immigrate/immigrant-process/documents/Step_4_Collect_Financial_Documents.html

For IV:

http://travel.state.gov/content/visas/en/immigrate/immigrant-process/documents/Supporting_documents.html

Hi Frank,

NO , I do NOT need JOINT sponsor..

Other than Proof of citizenship on AOS everything else looks right?(I think I-864 specifically asks to send a proof with that form(Part1 , 1.a , at the bottom it says "if you select 1.a you must show proof of US citizenship)

thx

Looks like I should complete "I-864-EZ" .. All three are true in my case

"All three of the following are true:

  1. You filed a Form I-130 petition for your relative;
  2. There is only one applicant on the Form I-130 petition; and
  3. The income you are using to qualify is based entirely on your salary or pension and is shown on one or more Forms W-2 provided by your employer(s) or former employer(s)"

You are a lifesaver Frank!

Do you understand the 3 requirements to qualify for I-864EZ? if not read the link for AOS I sent you, (expand and read the whole thing).

If you qualify for I-864EZ you do not need proof of US citizenship.

to qualify for I-864EZ you need to meet these three conditions.:

All three of the following are true:
  1. You filed a Form I-130 petition for your relative;
  2. There is only one applicant on the Form I-130 petition; and
  3. The income you are using to qualify is based entirely on your salary or pension and is shown on one or more Forms W-2 provided by your employer(s) or former employer(s).
Complete Form I-864EZ

See tips for completing I-864EZ

Well, all dependent on how fast they can clear the money.

A fee is about 3-5 working days.

But like Frank is saying..

Do your self and all others after you a big favor and do the timeline. And if you see other with out it, make them do it also.

The more date we all have, the more precise can we be in the help :)

If ur using the 864ez form u send w2 instead of tax transcripts?

On the safe side send both.... Because in form 864EZ... it ask are you sending the tax transcripts and W2 is only required if you do not have employer letter to prove the money you make and support your case.... Otherwise Tax transcripts at least for last year when you filed or most current year is a must....

You send one or the other.

If you submit trancript for 2014, that is all they require.

If you submit a copy of your income tax return, then you need W2s, 1099s,etc.

2012 and 2013 are optional, as well as pay stubs and employment letter.
