Co-Sponsor Info Needed

My husband is filling out an I-485 and I am going to be his sponsor. I have not filed taxes and do not have an individual income beause I have not been employed as my husband provides the income. My husband has not previously filed taxes because he was previously here on a student visa, however he is now $40,000 a year.

Because my individual income is not enough to sponsor him and we do not have any tax history, I believe we are to get a co-sponsor. His uncle, who is not living in our home, is going to sponsor him....

Can you please tell me what specific forms we need to fill out.
Which ones do I fill out as a sponsor without income or tax history?
Which one does his uncle, the co-sponsor, fill out?
Which ones will my husband need to fill out?

Thank's in advance,
Mrs. A

First of all, sponsor must file affidavit of support, no matter if she/he meets the requirement or no. If you haven't filed the tax returns you have to provide written explanation why you haven't filed it.

Hopefully this link will answer all of your questions.

Check this link http://uscis.gov/graphics/howdoi/affsupp.htm, it has all information needed.

Thank You,

Sponsor(you) fills I-864 and explains why taxes were not filed previous 3 years.

Which one does his uncle, the co-sponsor, fill out?
Co-Sponsor fills another I-864. See eligibility to be a Co-Sponsor. http://uscis.gov/graphics/publicaffairs/factsheets/affaqa.htm

Which ones will my husband need to fill out?
None. Since the sponsored immigrant's income will not be used

Thank's in advance,
Mrs. A

Good Luck!
