It's that time for me - I am almost ready to file the forms for my husband. As many of you would have already been here, you would know, its time for anxiety and some nervousness too - nervous of making a mistake in the forms. The same has popped up a few questions in my mind and I would appreciate any replies from you guys out there.
1. I-864 - I had been a student assistant (part time worker) until before now and my income alone doesn't qualify, so we have included a joint sponsorer, whose income about JUST qualifies 125%. This should be okay right? What has caused me a doubt is what I read some place - it said that each sponsorer should individually qualify 125%.
2. I-485 - The application says that I-485 can be filed concurrent with I-130 or on the basis of an approved I-130 petition. I filed I-130 for my husband (for some reason, we could not file other forms at that time) in Nov 2005 and received a 797C - Notice of Action. Is this the I-130 Approval Notice? It just says "Notice Type: Receipt Notice", without a mention of any approval. A copy of this Receipt Notice would be sufficient for filing 485 and 864, right?
3. I read at couple of places that USCIS no longer requires tax returns of 3 recent years while filing 864. Is that correct? I didn't see any such notice on the USCIS website. Has someone verified this info?
Thanks ev one, for stopping by and reading, even if you couldn't answer the ques. These might sound rhetoric or have a pretty straight forward answer... but as I said, I am anxious and nervous... so please help me out here
