I-864 Evidence for inadequate tax info

[Peot 161]

Hello again, we're just about ready submit all of the AOS paperwork, but we're not onto the I-864.

 

I (as husband, beneficiary), and her as applicant make enough income jointly. By our count it's around $75,000 from our employment as well as I have self employment income of approximately $30,000 for a grand total of $105,000.

 

HOWEVER, and this might be a huge "however", the income we have made above is almost entirely from this year onward. My wife started her job in January and really didn't have income before then as I was supporting her.

I got my job offer (and was hired remotely) by a company in Canada in July and before then only have self-employment income in addition to having only paid Canadian taxes.

 

So the facts are:

 

• We both have letters of employment. Both her current employment as well as my continued employment after AOS are guaranteed and signed for by our employers. Both of our income will continue.
• We can provide a bank letter that will also show more than $30,000 in deposits, which puts us over our poverty threshold.
• I could provide Canadian taxation information and she can provide IRS tax information from PREVIOUS years, but the amounts will be very skewed compared to this year.

 

Questions:

1. Is the above evidence enough information, or do they really only care about the IRS Federal tax return info?
2. Would my Canadian tax information be accepted / adequate even if it shows amounts different than what is currently on the form as it's from last year?
3. Same question goes for her IRS tax info.
4. I'm not entirely sure how to prove this year's self-employment income for myself without tax information. Bank letter would be the only way?
5. Do they qualify you based on net or gross earnings? Gross earnings would be over the poverty limit with both of our last year's tax returns combined.

 

Thank you!

You're both employed right?  Provide pay stubs and/or a letter from employer stating yearly (or hourly) income.   You dont need last years or the year before to be over, just current income to be over. 

 

Assets need to be 3x the difference of current income.
