I have some questions about how my spouse and our joint sponsor filled their I-864, and I would like your help.
Joint sponsor
Our Joint sponsor works here in the US, and he includes his spouse's name in his tax return. She works in a different country and her income isn't included at all in his tax return, just her name. With that said, did what he do below correct?
1. Part 5 for my joint sponsor, we put "1" for his wife, and "0" for dependents because all of his children are no longer dependents and are off his taxes.
2. Part 5 income you are using from any other person, he did not write his spouse despite being on the tax return, mainly because her contribution is 0, and it shows on his W2 form.
3. He only supplied last year's taxes, W2s, and 6 most recent pay stubs for this year. It shows that he is more than above poverty line, but should we count total household size including his children, even if they're are not dependable?
4. He calculated his year to day income based on his consistent pay stub this year and wrote it in part 5.7
For my Spouse
1. Part 5: Spouse doesn't work anymore, but she listed her year-to-date annual income according to how much she made this year (total of 4 months), would that be okay?
2. Part 5: I'm the beneficiary, spouse listed my name and YTD income at part 5 Person 1 (Current income = YTD, not annually). Spouse ticked part 6.22
3. Spouse right now isn't working and she is a student, is there a place in the form where she has to declare that isn't making any income anymore for the rest of the year, or that she is a student now?
Are we on the right track?
