There seems to be confusion on this. Maybe it s an NVC (consular) vs AOS thing but here is the background:

We are doing AOS. Joint sponsor makes well above the guidelines, his spouse makes zero (SAHM) and they are married filing jointly. He has his IRS Tax Return Transcripts for 3 most recent tax years 2024, 2023, 2022) printed out and ready to go along with his W2s.

The problem:

- Some posts say that even if his spouse makes 0, she still needs to fill out a 864a or else we'll get an RFE.

- Others say this approach of zero income spouse doing a 864a will result in an RFE because 864a is to show household member income (YouTube kseniya international videos) and just send joint sponsors w2s and leave out the zero income spouse. (timestamped link where they call this out - https://youtu.be/sAnFFwed8RA?list=PLzAJM53dlk2mTYIz2noSjQbVdgXe2PxJJ&t=1204)

Please help as I m going nuts trying to reconcile this and send out our form. I have evidence and print outs if both approaches but don t know if I should send the 864a. @pushbrk is there a difference in how USCIS vs the NVC deals with these types of situations? Or am interpreting the information wrong?

Hello everyone,

Hello, I have a question. My husband completed the 2029 form and is requesting a passport for the baby. I want to know if he should additionally request the baby with an I130 or should he only ask me since we haven't done that process

Hi everyone,

I applied for my N400 based on the 3-year rule and have my combo interview this week.

Between all the paperwork, I have somehow misplaced our original marriage certificate.

We have 5 certified copies that we had ordered at the same time. I have all of those.

We ve been married for nearly 4 and together over 10 years so we have a ton of evidence otherwise.

Feeling like an idiot and am stressed beyond my mind.

Will certified copies from the clerk and recorder s office suffice? Wet ink and stamp too.

Is this likely to cause any big issues?
