Can we add additional documentation (offer letter, paystubs) if 2019 tax returns were too low?

My husband was a student in 2019 and therefore did not make enough money to stay over the minimum requirement for the affidavit of support. He recently started a full-time job so he will be making way above the minimum requirement this year.

 

Are we able to include his paystubs and his offer letter as his 2019 tax return is too low? Has anyone else done this and been successful?

Absolutely. It's all about current income and that's your proof for it. If a recent started job will be enough security for USCIS is up to them.

His tax return total income information is required to be listed on the I-864, as well a copy or transcript of the most recent year's return. This is separate from the current income requirement, unless self employed.

His current income will be determined based on his current job: $paycheck * #paychecks_per-year.

Current income is king, although past income (i.e. from the tax return information) would be part of the consideration as well.

 

As a student up until now, that is favorable IMHO. His past income while he was in school is not really much of an issue.

I just about made the 125% for my household size from my 2019 tax returns, but had started a job as a professor in August of 2019 (was a final-year student for the first part of the year).  So I put in the tax transcripts (2017/18/19) + my offer letter and the August 2019 and onwards paystubs.

 

Similar positions, I'd imagine, and will hopefully be more than fine.
