Another I-864 Question

[orimai 2]

Ok people are going to burn me at the stake for asking this again But I dont care, burn me, I am going home with Mai soon hehehe...

Who of you out there use a co sponsor? And the I-864 info they provide and tax paperwork.... Has to be "certified". Yeah I am still stuck on this and even my corny lawyer said to hold off until they figure it out :/ Now my interview is coming down the pipe and within site and I still don't have my co sponsors AOS yet. He is waiting to hear how and what to do.

So those of you with Co's under condition of CR1 visa interview, what did your Co Sponsor do to get this right and "certified"? And what documents exactly was it applied to?

Thanks so much

Ori - Mai cant be burnt at the stake, this is my fault lol

Nothing needs to be "Certified" Copies.

USCIS no longer routinely requires submission of original documents or "certified copies." Instead, ordinary legible photocopies of such documents (including naturalization certificates and alien registration cards) will be acceptable for initial filing and approval of petitions and applications.

At the discretion of the officer, original documents may still be required in individual cases. Please be advised that USCIS no longer returns original documents submitted with the exception of Certificates of Naturalization, Forms I-551, Permanent Resident Card, Forms I-94, Arrival/Departure Document, valid passports, or those specifically requested by the officer. Such documents will be returned when they are no longer needed.

No where in the I-864 instructions do they request "Certified" copies. and if you read carefully at the bottom of the form.

e. Each of the Federal income tax returns submitted in support of this affidavit are true copies, or are unaltered tax transcripts, of the tax returns I filed with the U.S. Internal Revenue Service; and

g. Any and all other evidence submitted is true and correct

Just by signing the form you are "Certifying" that all evidence provided are True and Correct.

orimai,

Are you asking about a Joint Sponsor or a Household Member?

I was told that the primary sponsor (myself) didnt have to, but the CO Sponsor had to provide certified copies. And I know I saw it somewhere, I am not crazy. I can't find it at the moment thanks to Murphy and his crumby law.

Don't make life hard on yourself.

Tax transcripts from the IRS covers everything very neatly, they are free and they arrive quickly after a touchpad order over the phone.

Solved?

This works for Sponsors, Joint Sponsors etc. The lawyers are "reasearching" this???

Ori,

Joint (not co) Sponsors do not have to have documents certified any more than the Sponsor does.
