Hello everyone,

 

I have posted this in another place here but I do not get adequate answer. Please help me with following questions.

 

I am sponsoring my mom. I file tax jointly with my husband. My income alone is qualified to sponsor my mom so I do not want to use my husband's income. Please correct me if I am wrong in filing.

- Part 6 question 2: My current individual income: I put $60,000. It is my income shown on my W-2 of 2016. My job is casino dealer so it is not pretty correct if I use the bi-weekly pay multiply by 26. Is it acceptable to use the last year W2 amount? Or my second option is I will submit 4 most recent months pay stubs, then use the total amount of 4 months multiply by 3 to get the total amount. Is it acceptable?

- Part 6 question 19: Total income: I put line 22 on 1040 which is $170,000. It is our combined income shown on our 1040 of 2016.

 

I will include our 3 years 1040 (with all the schedules), my 3 years W-2, my pay stubs, and a letter explain the detailed separate income. Is it enough? Are the schedules needed to be submitted or the 1040 alone is fine? We are not self-employed. And since we did e-filing, the copies of 1040 do not have our signatures. Is it ok or we have to sign now?

 

Is there any cases that the consulate in Saigon requests my spouse to submit I-864A at the interview although I dont need joint sponsor? And can I mail the AOS/IV packages to NVC prior to paying IV fee and filing DS-260?

 

Thank you so much for your help.

I think your income alone and proofs that you can readily provide are good enough. I would suggest your getting the official tax transcripts of the last 3 yrs from the IRS website (link below).

 

https://www.irs.gov/individuals/get-transcript

 

Click on the right hand side where it says Get Transcript by Mail. Make sure you choose Return Transcript on the last screen. With the IRS official transcripts, you do not have to submit copies of W2's or any 1040 schedules.

 

Good luck.

If it's a joint return have your spouse do the 864A.  It's a bit neater.

 

If your spouse isn't willing to do that then you are using only your income information.  So separate out your portion of the joint income.
