In the affidavit of support (I-864), Line 23 (Sponsor's current individual annual income), what should we put here? the current for the year 2007, supported by the letter of employment, since the tax return for 2007 is not yet filed till next year or the adjusted gross income reported in the 2006 tax return, though this is not his current income for the year anymore?

thanks.

I put down my current annual income from 2007. I included for supporting documents, letter from my employer, photocopy of 2006 ITR and photocopy of W-2. you can use an IRS transcript instead of tax return and W-2. if your pay has increased since 2006, you can also include photocopies of recent pay check stubs.

Hi hi! I just want to share that I've (finally) received my GC. It was a long wait! But now that I have it, life is better. I'm going home to Manila after Thanksgiving, and won't be back til before Valentine's (long story, but my mom loves my hubby so much now for his understanding that she needs me with her right now). We won't have our first Christmas together, but we'll still have each other (and I can sort of escape from the snow here in Ohio, for two months, anyway).

Getting the GC is such a relief, because even though I have my AP, I'm still worried that certain airport personnel won't recognize it for what it is, and thus give me hell when I try to fly back next year. All's good now, though! I was even able to get my driver's license today I had my temporary permit for a while, too the test last october, but didn't get the real DL car until today (para valid hangga't valid ang GC). Great thing, though.. my DL is valid for 4 years! Haha! It's valid for much longer than my green card. Aliw lang..

So what's up with everyone? The thread has been relatively quiet ever since some key people made it to the US. Not complaining, just curious Hope you're all happy! And good luck to y'all who're still waiting for their interviews and such.

I used my adjusted gross income (and tax forms) from the 2006 tax year (filed in 2007) because it is the most current year that has been filed and can be verified by the IRS if needed.

should the I-864 (affidavit of support) be notarized? we went to to one bank and she only stamped it but didnt put the seal since the seal is only for their financial transactions...is that acceptable?

I am now confused..

my husband's adjusted gross income in tax year 2006 is different from his current income (due to change of work)...higher income this year...the current income is supported by the letter of employment...however, what is asked is the "current annual income", however again that, the affidavit states that the income to be written is the adjusted gross income in the tax return...

pls help me understand further....

thanks.

the I-864 does not need to be notarized.

I didn't see that in the instructions for the I-864, though I may have missed it. if the 2006 income is above the minimum guidelines, you should be OK I used my current income in my I-864.

Roy, it's not on the instructions page but on page 3 item 23 and page 4 item 25 of form I-864 itself.

In the affidavit of support (I-864), Line 23 (Sponsor's current individual annual income), what should we put here? the current for the year 2007, supported by the letter of employment, since the tax return for 2007 is not yet filed till next year or the adjusted gross income reported in the 2006 tax return, though this is not his current income for the year anymore?

Correct. Put his current annual income on line 23 and support this with a letter of employment and the last 3 pay stubs. And then report the adjusted gross income for 2006, 2005, 2004 as provided in item 25 of the I-864 and support this with copies of his Form 1040.
