I-864 AOS Questions - Filer Living in the UK

[Sandy & Vickie 0]

Hi All, 

 

I am currently completing my I-864 AOS form. I have lived in the UK for the past 18 years. I will be joint filing with my sister and brother in-law

 

Do I populate my Foreign Earned Income in the income section of the AOS application and submit my Federal Tax returns with my application even though my income was not earned in the US? Or do I set my income as 0? 

 

Also I have had problems populating some sections on the form via pdf editor. Is this application meant to be printed to be completed and signed, then uploaded to the NVC? I tried ringing the USCIS Center ealier and they said I had to mail in the form? 

 

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!!

 

Many thanks In advance, 

 

Vickie

Use Acrobat or Adobe Reader to fill the form.  You'll have problems with third party applications.  If you read the question about your current income carefully, you'll see the phrase, "that you are using to....." So, since you can't use it, the number is zero.  For the tax section, you enter the "total income" number, which may well also be zero.  You then submit the last complete return copy or a tax return transcript.  Since you are using a "joint sponsor" an I-864 for the one with the greater income and I-864a from their spouse.  You do this whether they have income or not, and whether their income is needed or not.

 

Read all questions carefully, interpret literally, and answer accurately.  Study those I-864 instructions too.
