Tax Transcript and Joint Sponsor Upon Interview [merged threads]

[Mae Harry 0]

I am already for interview at USEM Manila.

 

1.  My husband is divorced and have 3 kids from previous marriage (2 are underage)

    He did not declare the kids under his tax declaration. They are all under the ex-wife.

 

2.  Is there a possibility that the Officer will require a Joint Sponsor during the interview when he/she will know that my husband

     has 3 kids? I am assuming that the Officer will ask if husband has kids knowing that my husband was previously married.

     We were not asked for a Joint Sponsor during NVC Stage.

Did he list the two underage children as part of his household size?

Assuming he counted the unmarried children under age 21, on his affidavit of support, his income must be sufficient to qualify without a joint sponsor.  So, were they counted on his affidavit of support, or not?

Sounds like he incorrectly calculated household size.  I would fully expect a joint sponsor to possibly be required.

the children need to be listed as stepchildren on the ds 260

 

The USC may not claim them due to his divorce agreement where that agreement will be seen and divorce papers have to be included at NVC and embassy 

and he pays child support for 2 of them so they are part of his household 

 

the older child may be part of household if he lives with his father and is supported by him even if not underage

He did not count the 2 underage children in his AOS.

 Sadly, I guess he did.  We are now looking for Joint Sponsor.  My interview is in 2 weeks.

Even if the 3 kids are under the tax of his ex-wife per divorce agreement , we still count them as part of his household?

All minor children, regardless of where they live and who they’re claimed by in their taxes, must be counted in the household size for I-864.

Alright. This means we do need a joint sponsor before the interview. Interview is in 2 weeks ohmy.

I don't want to hijack the thread, but I went to look at your timeline and see it's not filled out. May I ask what your DQ date was for NVC? If you prefer not to answer, that's of course absolutely okay.

Best of luck with your situation. I hope you find that joint sponsor and avoid any delays. 😓

He also needs to provide a new I864 with the minor children included in his household size.

Hello everyone.  I made a new post so as not to lengthen my previous post but here is the background....

 

I am already for interview at USEM Manila.

 

1.  My husband is divorced and have 3 kids from previous marriage (2 are underage)

    He did not declare the kids under his tax declaration. They are all under the ex-wife.

 

2.  Was advised to find a Joint Sponsor since we have to declare the 2 minor kids in his new I-864.

 

3.  I have to point out that since the filing of taxes was extended to October 16, my husband's 2022 tax is still on process and 

     might not be ready on time for interview.  It is to be noted that his income for 2022 is way below the poverty guidelines, and

     yes thus the Joint Sponsor.

 

     The question here is, if the tax is not processed in time for my interview, what will I present to the Officer?  Just the 2021 and 2020?

 

4.  Will this be a 221g requiring the 2022 tax of my husband?

 

5.  As for the Joint Sponsor, will I need to upload his I-864 and the I-864A of his wife prior to interview?  or can I just bring the scanned copies of these

     and present to the Officer?

 

6.  What are the documents needed for the Joint Sponsor and his wife (household member) aside from the I-864 and I-864A, W2 and 1040?

 

Interview is in USEM Manila.
