Help with Filling Out the I-864 (Affidavit of Support) based on K1 Visa

[Del A. 44]

Hi everyone! I need some help with a few items on the I-864, if anyone could kindly assist:

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Page 4
Part 5., 1.-3. (Sponsor's Household Size)
Persons you are sponsoring in this affidavit:
1. Provide the number you entered in Part 3., Item Number 29.

- 1

Persons NOT sponsored in this affidavit:

2. Yourself

-1 (auto-populated)

3. If you are currently married, enter "1" for your spouse.

> My husband is my sponsor, and we are married, but if we put "1" then it makes our total Household Size: 3, when it's just the two of us. We are aware we shouldn't count any member more than once. Should this be "0", then? Even if we are married?

 

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Page 5

Part 6., 24.a.-24.c.

My total income (adjusted gross income on Internal Revenue Service (IRS) Form 1040EZ) as reported on my Federal income tax returns for the most recent three years was:

> We are able to gather only the most recent year, 2018. Will leaving the other years blank cause any RFEs and/or denial?

 

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

I would appreciate any input. Thanks!

correct, 0 because he put you as the beneficiary and you don't count a person twice

 

what has your husband done the previous years that he hasn't filed taxes?

I have not gotten into detail with him about that but nevertheless, will leaving these blank cause any issues?

And if he hasn't filed taxes in 2016 and 2017, how do we go about getting caught up?

Get the transcripts online. USCIS prefers transcripts to 1040...

if you submit the 1040s, you will get an RFE for providing IRS transcript.

 

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

scroll down and click on "get transcript online". Fill this out together with your husband. If all goes well you can download online on the spot. If he fails the online identity verification you will need to go with him to a local IRS office and just get the transcript in person. 

 

years ago I had to get it in the mail and it took 2 months to receive it, so don't even try that option

We have prepared our 1040s and W-2s according to this:

He has to actually file those 1040’s with the IRS.  You can’t just prepare 1040’s and attach W2’s and send them in without filing them.

You actually DO need to get into those details with him.  What he does and does not do now affects you and your future.

A copy of a 1040 that was actually filed with the IRS will do nicely
