I864 AOS questions - petitioner not living in US [merged threads]

 Share

15 posts in this topic

Recommended Posts

Hello everyone

I am the petitioner USC for my husband, we both live in Argentina, and I have just filed only tax return for last year 2022 being below income level but  we will be using the help of a joint sponsor. For 2021/2020 I was below minimum income required for filing.

 

So I have income to be informed in most recent tax year + tax return 2022 only.

 

Is it correct for years 2021/2020 in the total income boxes(Part 6 boxes 24.b/24.c)just write N/A plus a statement that I was not required to file taxes for those years? Assuming that I only need last return and don’t comply with income requirements.

 

Thank you in advance for the help!

You must either list tax info income in the 3 boxes, or you must indicate why you were not required to file for those years.  You can enter "0", then annotate ""Income below filing threshhold" beside those boxes.

Were you married in 2020 and 2021? 

If so, the required level for filing MFS is $5 of gross income.

Hi Redro, we married in 2022

Good news! 

Then your plan is fine. If you cannot write N/A for whatever reason $0 should also be okay as an answer.

Yes, enter 0 and hand write "Income below filing threshold"

Correct, but checking the box is not accurate, as the box applies to all three years.  Hand writing once for each applicable year is more accurate.

Hello everyone, here once again for another consultation.

 

I am sponsoring my spouse and we are both living in Argentina. have lived here for more than 10 years. As I have a job in Argentina and only filed taxes with income below poverty threshold for year 2022 we are in the plan of finding a joint sponsor(which is getting harder).

 

However, this week I got a remote job based in US which gets me above the Poverty level threshold for our household, and I have resigned my job in Argentina.

I plan to continue working from Argentina a few months until the interview and immigrate together.

 

In this case, having a remote job working from abroad with income above poverty level, with intention to return to US ASAP, but only having taxes  filed last year 2022 with a small amount of income, would it be possible to sponsor my spouse having this remote job, without the need of a joint sponsor if YET not living in US?

 

Of course I plan to attach job offer, contract, pay slip from first month, resignation letter from previous company, etc. 

 

Thank you so much!

Just curious how close your spouse is to the interview relative to the date you were married, and the date you need to return to the US.  If you were married in early 2022, you may have the chance of delaying your spouses visa so you are past the 2nd wedding anniversary and they can enter with a 10 yr. GC.

 

Good Luck!

We married in July 2022, so we plan to move later this year if everything goes fine.

Thank you for the idea anyway!
