Immigration to USA (But ...)

[majedalanni 1]

Hi there

How r u ?

My friend send to me one copy of the IRS 1040 for (2004,2005,2006) and w2 and somthing like form 8821 and certification of life birth and the 1040 include schedule A for (2004,2005,2006) and schedule D for (2006) and schedule EIC for 2006

is this enough or what I need?

and about I-864 can he just download it from site and fill it then sign and sent to me or it must be notarize ?

because he told me if a lawyer fill it the must pay 650 for each (one to my daughter and one to my husban) it mean 1300 $

Can I make one form I-864 for both (my daughter and my husband) and I start my I-130 from begining that mean I forget about that I fill in 2005 and start to fill new one for my hasband and one for my daughter with one I-864 ?

many thanks for your support

Regards

Because they are immediate relatives of USC and need separate petitions and will be processing separately, must have two I-864's, and on each I-864 list the other person in part 5, question 21 under "persons not sponsored by this affidavit."

He can download Form I-864 and fill it out himself without a lawyer. There is no requirement to notarize it anymore.

Dear many thanks

About the IRS 1040 and W-2 for the year (2004,2005,2006) do I need for 2007 and orginal copies for each petition ?

and is they enough or I need more documents for I-864 ?

2007 tax returns cannot be required before April 15, 2008. So, no, you don't need them at this time.

You need an original signed I-864's, all the other supporting documents can be ordinary copies.

You need to submit I-864's also; you are the sponsor, your friend is the 'joint sponsor'.

The supporting documents for I-864 are usually:

- proof of citizenship (birth certificate, U.S. passport, naturalization certificate, or cert. of citizenship)

- proof of domicile in the U.S. (U.S. driver's license, utility bill, etc.)

- proof of sponsor's income (IRS tax transcripts or IRS 1040 with W-2's, for at least the past year but earlier years also accepted and can be helpful)

For yourself, you probably want to include a letter explaining that you were not required to file U.S. tax returns because your income was too low (U.S. citizens are taxed on their worldwide income), or if it was high enough, you should now file 1040's for the last three years (you probably won't owe any money if your income was under the "foreign earned income" exclusion amount) and submit copies of them along with any foreign tax returns you filed instead.

about domicile how I prove that and I never see USA?

and I work for some time with very low income its 200$ in month so I think I not need to fill tax is it true ?

[majedalanni 1]

and this I see in IRS 1040 for three past three year

I haven't checked the numbers, but 125% of poverty level for a household size of 6 is what his income would need to show.

It seems like 2006 might be a problem from the data you gave. 2006 is the most important year too! Are you sure you looking at GROSS INCOME and not ADJUSTED GROSS INCOME? (Gross income should be given for the tax data on I-864) If so, are any of the other household members over age 18 and with additional income? They would complete a I-864A to combine their income with his to make the I-864 sufficient.

I think they have some rule at the embassy for DCF cases to handle the domicile issue (something to the effect of, "will enter the U.S. with the immigrant, and will therefore be domiciled in the U.S. at the time of the immigrant's entry"). Therefore, I wouldn't worry about it right now, and the consular officers know how to approve it even though you are not presently domiciled in the U.S.

Your income is too low to be required to file a tax return. In 2003, the standard exemption for single/married filing separately was $4,750. It has only gotten higher since then. If you income has been below that amount, just include a letter explaining that you income was under that amount the last three years and you were therefore not required to file. Still list whatever your income was on I-864, even if just $200 for a year. That's what I would do, anyway.

Yes, in Part 3, you just check YES for "I am sponsoring the principal immigrant named in Part 2 above." There are no accompanying family members, that is for family-preference and some employment-sponsored immigrants coming on one petition, but not for immediate relatives which need separate petitions.

I dont know but check the picture for 2006

[Chris Parker 11]

I dont know but check the picture for 2006

Line 22 is GROSS income. In that image, it is $33,532.

The poverty level guidelines can be found are here:

http://www.uscis.gov/files/form/I-864p.pdf

For 2006, the 125% povery level for a household size of 6 in the continental U.S. is $33,500.

That's real close, but it does just make it.

I would definitely include the 2005,2004 years also with the I-864, especially because these values are so close.

Good luck.

Yikes, that is a bad link and was for the 2006 poverty guidelines, not 2007. You need to meet the 2007 levels.

This is the proper link:

http://www.uscis.gov/files/form/I-864P.pdf

And you're right, the 125% poverty guideline for household size of 6 for 2007 is $34,512.

There are three things that should be done:

1) Also, I'm hoping somebody else here can help me out, I'm not sure anymore if the household is 5 or 6. Two immigrants are being separately petitioned and sponsored at the same time. The Form says they have to be lawful permanent residents already to be counted, which they won't be until they enter the U.S. (and even then, one will become a USC instantly and no longer be sponsored). If it is actually supposed to be 5, you're clear as is.

2) An additional set of supporting documents, which I forgot to mention earlier, are a current employer letter and copies of last 3 paystubs, to substantiate current year income.

3) Are any of the 3 other household members over age 18 with additional income to combine who would sign an I-864A to bring up his total income to the required minimum?
