Hello!
This is gonna be a long post and I would gladly appreciate those who take time to read and answer my question. I recently just got a RFIE from USCIS stating the following:
- Submit all supporting tax documents (W2, 1099s, Form 2555, and all supporting tax schedules) submitted to the Internal Revenue Service for the most recent tax year. The joint sponsor must submit all supporting tax documents for the most recent year.
Question: Do I give them a copy of my Wife and I's tax return from 2019? That's basically all we submitted to the IRS.

Next requirement they need was a contract between my Joint Sponsor and his wife, since his wife's income is being used to meet the poverty guideline. Unfortunately, my Joint Sponsor is having a difficult time after having been tested positive with the Corona Virus. With his state and condition, I do not want to bug him with any of these requirements. I am given 87 days for this and I badly need to pass now so I decided to get another Joint Sponsor who is willing to replace the other one.

In the letter that I got from USCIS, they also stated that if I wish to obtain a new joint sponsor, I will need to:
- Submit a completed and signed Form I-864, Affidavit of support, from the joint sponsor.
- Provide joint sponsor's SSN on Form I-864.
- Provide a complete and correctly calculated household size on Form I-864.
- Submit a complete copy of the joint sponsor's Federal income tax return and all supporting tax documents (W-2s, 1099s, Form 2555, and tax schedules) for the most recent tax year.
- Submit evidence of the joint sponsor's status as a United States Citizen, United States National, or Lawful Permanent Resident.
As for the Assets, they're asking for bank statements covering the last 12 months. Evidence of ownership and the likes.
Question:
-They're asking supporting tax documents for the most recent tax year. When my first joint sponsor sent the form, they were asking for his tax documents (W-2's, 1099s, etc.) for the past three years. Should my joint sponsor just follow what the letter says and send in the documents for the recent tax year? Or include the past three years?
