US Immigration from Ireland

I am currently filling out form I-864 Affidavit of Support and my father-in-law has agreed to be my joint sponsor. He has filed his taxes jointly with his wife so the adjusted gross income figure on his 1040 contains their combined income.

Does this mean I have to include his wife as a co-sponsor too?

Thanks in advance for the advice!

Hey everyone,

Thank you for this great site! I have search alot and cant find a solid answer.

Myself and my wife (American) but live in ireland but we learn't that you can direct consular filing in the U.S embassy in Dublin. Is this true and if so, does anyone have any experince on how it went. Also any guides on how to go about filling it in Dublin.

Thank you so much

Has anyone received notices for rescheduled biometrics appointments yet?

We submitted our package on 2/5/2020

Received NOAs on 2/21/2020

Biometrics appointment was scheduled for 3/19/2020; I-131 appointment was scheduled for 3/23/2020

I am eagerly checking the mail. Very happy we got our application running prior to COVID but would love to get the process back on track. I assume we should be close to the front of the line for rescheduling as offices closed on 3/18/2020.

Thanks all. Hope you are all staying safe.

Hello. Can someone answer me on what they mean by tax transcripts? Is that something I can get from TurboTax as proof that I filed? Could I submit a copy of my return? We will also have my step dad sponsor us and wondering what he ll need regarding his taxes? I tried the IRS website but I don t have an American credit card or anything that s American really, as we ve been in ireland for 3 years now. Thank you for you help.

Hi everyone.

I m currently filing the I-485 and I received a request for evidence.

They asked us to get a joint sponsor which is fine and we have no queries about that process at the moment, but they also asked for All supporting tax documents for the most recent tax year .

When we filed our I-485 in early April, my husband had not done his 2019 taxes yet. He submitted the documents he had relating to the 2018 tax year (my husband was living and working outside of the US in 2018 so he filed his taxes through an expat tax company. We did not submit the document you can get from the IRS online because we were unaware of it at the time. In hindsight I m sure that is what we should have submitted for the I-864)

By the time we submit the things we need for the RFE, he ll have his 2019 taxes filed. Should we complete a brand new I-864 with a note explaining that he has filed his 2019 taxes in the meantime so here is an updated I-864? Or should we just ignore the 2019 taxes and submit the IRS form for 2018?

Thanks in advance for any help!
