I864

[Mr.Fry 6]

Hi all,

 

We are in the slow process (slow because we recently became parents again and the kids take up a lot of time) of filing documents and have reached the financial bit. My wife (sponsor) lives here in the Netherlands with my and therefore has no income in the US. This is where our joint sponsor comes along, my wife's parents. Now we know they have to fill out a I864 and I864a and provide financial documents and proof of citizenship. So far not an issue. However, I can't seem to figure out which of these documents they need to provide originals for, for me to bring to the interview, I'll need to provide a scanned pdf to upload beforehand but then what. The i864 and i864a obviously need to be original given they need to be signed but what about all the other documents? will photocopies of IRS transcripts, W2's and birth certificates suffice?

Photocopies of the transcripts, W-2s, and birth certificate/passport bio page/naturalization certificate are fine. You’ll need AT LEAST the most recent tax transcript from each sponsor. Your petitioner must also file a I-864, regardless of income or domicile. I suggest your petitioner provide a written statement about intent to reestablish domicile and travel/moving plans. Your petitioner does not need to provide a tax transcript as they have no eligible income.

 

The I-864 and I-864A should have a “wet” signature.

Most consulates no longer require a wet signature on the I864 .. scanned, emailed and printed is all that’s needed

Just as an aside, since it’s kinda disregarded, but her income earned in The NLDs also counts.

Only if it will continue from the same source upon returning to the US.

So it can count, but in most cases it does not.
