Hi everyone!

My joint sponsor is married and filing tax jointly with his wife. So the joint sponsor is filling+signing I864 and his wife is filling+signing i864A.

 

1 question:

what option is correct for my joint sponsor on I864 (Image attached)

 1d (I am the only joint sponsor) or   1e ( i am the first joint sponsor) as his wife is filling i864A and ther income is combined.

 

2 question:

   I have form 1040 , 8582 , 8283 , 4562 , 1099 social security benefit statements , W2s and ther 

US passports as they are citizen 

So these documents are enough or any document missing? 

Thankyou!

1) Only joint sponsor. The petitioner is not a joint sponsor.

2) I'll defer to others (I don't deal with some of those forms), but generally it's simpler to provide a tax transcript over the individual forms.

 

What is their evidence of current income? The SS benefit statements? What about paystubs and/or employment letter? The W-2 shows prior income, not current income.

Well they both are retired but still working in fire department. 

On 1040 income tax return they have adjusted gross income of 125000$ and 3 household size including me. 

I don't have paystubs but i will surely ask them. 

Source of income is SS benefit 

Pension , w2 and other contracts.

W-2 of the current year

There is no such thing. A W-2 only exists for past years, never the current year. The most recent W-2 shows past income, not current income.

Instead of a W-2 here, they need evidence of current income - paystubs and/or an employment letter.

 

Edit: Note that if the joint sponsor has a spouse and they file jointly, then the W-2 is needed in addition to the above (with an I-864A from their spouse being submitted typically being requested).

My joint sponsor is retired and now he has part time job. On 1040  tax return the adjusted gross income is 1270000$ which includes pension wages SS benefits and annuities. 

I have SS benefit  statement for 2018, form 1099R [distribution from pension annuities retirement  profit sharing plan etc for 2018] statement of annuity  paid records.W2s 2018 of both husband and wife as they both are working part time...household size is 3 including me on i864. 

His pension annuities 60k  and ss benefits are 20k. Wages salaries are 40k+.

1)Do the pension and ss benefits  are considered  as their  income? 

2) Does he qualify as joint sponsor and his wife a cosponsor?(just  asking this as i read on Facebook that some embassies  don't  consider pension  and ss benefit as income)

Just check on 1.d ( I am the only joint Sponsor)

 

For 2nd Question, only Tax Return Transcript FY2018 & W-2 is okay, For Joint Sponsor you really need three things; I-864 , Tax Return Transcript and W-2 of the current year, if you have IRS form 1099 its also good

Yes i have IRS 1099 and irs tax transcript for 2018.
