is this enough document for a co-sponsor ?

[Tarik 11]

Hi everybody.

I'm getting ready to submit the co-sponsor documents but I wanna make sure I didn't miss anything.so I hope somebody would tell me if I did .

1) Original/signed form I-864 affidivate of support.

2) copies of tax return for most recent year (2006).

3) W-2 form.

4)copy of birth certificate.

I've read that some ppl say I need employment letter from co-sponsor's employer but it says in the I-864 instructions that you may submit them if you thought it would help, and since my co-sponsor made way over whats required for thier family household size plus me, I thought there is no need for that. so am I right ?and is that all I need ?

1, 2, and 3 are fine, but nowhere in the I-864 directions do they say birth cert needed. They do say you can submit a letter from employer, and copies of a few recent pays stubs.

you're right but they require that The cosponsor must be an American citizen or Legal Permanent Resident of the United States. The cosponsor must submit proof of their status, wich birth cert will be a proof.

Right. For Dan's edification, a petitioner has already been adjudicated as a USC. A joint sponsor has not. Therefore proof of status is required. A passport copy would be better though, if available.

Makes good sense!

Do I have to submit few recent pays stubs and employment letter for co-sponsor ?

Tarik,

You look good to me! If your co-sponsor makes way above the poverty line then you should be fine. If you can obtain the employment certificate and paystub good and well (if you can obtain that without any additional burden on your part), otherwise I think you already satisfied their requirements. One question, Is the tax return supports that your cosponsor makes above the poverty line?

Good luck!
