questions about I-184

I have 3 questions.....anybody who knows would you plz clarify it for me )

1) I'm the petitoner but my earnings can not meet the requirements to bring my husband here, so I'm using my parent's income and they qualify for it. Since i'm not using my income do I need or is it required to get a letter of employment and pay stubs cuz in the checklist it says submit this information if you believe any of these items will help you qualify, and I work only 1 day a week so it would look bad, so i'm confused... do I need to show them the letter of employment or my parent's income, w-2 and whatever is ok?

2) Another questions about I-184, when it asks about the beneficiary's Alien # which he doesn't have and other areas where there is nothing to answer do you leave it blank, put N/A or which one is the accepted answer to put?

3) And the ther question is about 1099, it says submit 1099, we never had this form before, what is it about, where should we find it, or if we dont sent it is it ok?

Yes, your parents can be a joint sponsor.

READ THE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY...REREAD THEM and REREAD THEM AGAIN.

Documents needed for Affidavit of Support (you and your parents)

* IRS transcript for 2006 - OR - photocopy of 1040 (with supporting documents such as w-2 and 1099's). FYI- 1099 is another tax document similiar to W-2 which shows money earned for contracted work, money earned from interest earning bank accounts, money earned from dividends.

* Copy of bank statements

* Copy of IRA accounts (if any)

* Deeds of Title showing ownership of property (if any owned)

* Any other paperwork showing you have financial assets

* 6 months of pay stubs - or - Letter from employer stating the terms of your employment, i.e., full time, part time, permanent, date of hire, gross annual salary.

PLEASE NOTE ----- YOU STILL NEED TO FILE AN AFFIDAVIT OF SUPPORT SINCE YOU ARE THE PRIMARY PETITIONER (for your husband's application). EVEN IF YOU DO NOT MAKE ENOUGH MONEY.

Look closely at the questions on the form...Sometimes you will see an "if any" next to question. If there is no answer to the question, write NONE.

Yu and Dent I'm a US citizen, and i'm bringing my husband here, he is from albania... I filed form I-130, petition for alien relative...NVC approved it... now I sent back AOS bill, and Choice of Agent and address, and now I'm about to receive form I-184...

Nutty I understand but for form 1099s we never earned money or interes from banks, never had a credit card, and we're not gonna use the financial assets b/c my parent's income meet the requirements, so if we dont' sent 1099s my question is... is it okej?

I know that I have to fill the form I-184 myself and they have to fill form I-184A but, why do i have to show the employment letter or paystubs when i'm not using my income ? i don't get it in the check list it says if you need to provide those if you think is going to quilify you.... so i'm... still confuzed

Hi Una,

(It's form I-864 - affidavit of support).

If you did not submit 1099s with your tax return no need to send them in - since you won't have them.

You don't have to send in the employment letter and paystubs if you don't think it will help you:

You may include evidence supporting your claim about your expected income for the current year if you believe that submitting this evidence will help you establish ability to maintain sufficient income. You are not required to submit this evidence, however, unless specifically instructed to do so by a Government official.

So you are understanding this correctly. They may ask you for it later, but you can cross that bridge when/if you come to it.

Many people don't receive them because they don't have interest earning savings accounts, do contracted work, or earn money from dividends. So many people don't receive 1099's.

Can I ask something? Do your parents support you? And if so, are you the only dependent on their income? This comes to mind, because if you are being supported by your parents and they also sponsor your husband, they would need to qualify for 4 people (you, your husband, Mom, Dad) in household at 125% on poverty guidelines.

What does not showing check stubs and employment letter do? Makes you look lazy and a mooch on your parents. Showing no income demonstrates that you are completely dependent parents for every dime and nickel. Not a good sign to the NVC when they want to be assured that your husband won't become a charge of the state.

It's much better to show that at least you are making efforts to earn some money. You can type a letter to the NVC stating..."I make X amount a year because I am currently a full time student (or give some other reason)" and attach it to your I-864.
