AOS/K1 Sponsor Requirements for i864 filing (Tax Returns/Biographic)

[jstryker 41]

Ok - filing for AOS after a K1 marriage.    As the sponsor/petitioner I have noticed that there are folks doing the following items:

 

• Sending G-325A for the U.S. Citizen Spouse with the i864
• Sending 3 years of Tax Returns/W2s as the supporting documentation.

 

 

Reading the official instructions from USCIS - I cannot find anywhere that states the USC must file a G-325A with their i864;    I also only see where the requirement for me is only 1 year of TaxReturns/W2s.

 

 

Am I correct or missing something?

Correct, petitioner's G325A is not required during beneficiary's AOS filing. Where did you see others doing that or is it just a hearsay? 

While the tax return docs or transcript of the most recent year is mandatory, there is an optional checkbox in i864 to send other previous two years' tax return docs. People send such docs of all three years (if available) to prove their strong financial health. It's up to you whether to send just of the latest year or all three.
