Request for initial Evidence

[myway23 0]

Hello,

I've got a letter from the USCIS, that I have a problem with my joint sponsor.

"Submit all supporting tax documents (W-2s, 1099s, Form 2555, and all supporting tax scheduels) submitted to the Internal Revenue Service for the most recent tas year"

- I've sent only the tax return of the join sopnsor, now I realize I need to send also W-2? Right?

"Based on the documents submitted with form I-864, Affidavit of Support, for the joint sponsor, the income did not meet 125% of the poverty guidlines for the join sponsor's household size."

- My joint sopnsor household size (including me) is 4, so I don't understand what is the problem, I saw that the poverty guidlines are $30,312 for houshehold of 4, my joint sponsor adjusted gross income is $72,000 - So I don't understand what is the problem? Maybe I didn't sent enough proof?

I also didn't send my joint sponsor properties because I thought the income is enough ...

Please help me understand!

Thanks.

Yes if you send in copy of tax returns, you will also need to send in copies of w-2 or any other document that was file with tax return

If you send in a tax transcript, the transcript is only needed

What tax form was use? You only use adjusted gross income if a 1040ez tax return form was use. 1040 or 1040a total gross income is require

Did you friend file with spouse? If yes, spouse needs to do I-864a to let him use family fund to support you.

With 1040 it should be line 22 total gross income that is use on the I-864

if it 92,000 that should be plenty.

Using adjusted gross income instead of total gross income might be the reason

If my joint sponsor will go to the IRS website and print the tax transcript - will that solve the problem?

Since we sent the package before he did the 2014 tax return - if he can print the 2014 tax transcript - should we sent that or 2013?

Thank you!

Yes, he has a wife and she is on the tax return that we've sent.

Do we need the I-864a ?
