I-864 EZ documents
gabebalazas: Did you send photocopies of all documents needed with I-864EZ which include Recent Paystubs, last three years W2 and last three years federal income tax return.??
our tax lady gave us tax documents every year after filing taxes which includes Federal, state Taxes paper. Is those documents consider as Tax Returns?
I think for I-864EZ , i only need to include photocopy of Federal part of tax documents. Isnt it ??

The USCIS states on most instructions of forms that unless they specifically ask for an original document, you just send them copies. But carefully read all instructions.
I sent them copies whereever they did NOT ask for an original. I think the reason for this is that they tend to keep the documents and then you wouldn't get back your original document (such as Certificate of Naturalization or original Birth Certificate etc.)
I assume your tax lady gave you copies of your tax returns, but I cannot be sure of that. But yes, copy of the Federal Tax return and copies of the corresponding W2 and/or 1099 forms and schedules is applicable must be included.

It looks good to me, but I'm not an expert. Mine was something similar. It should work.
Another February filer
My details are in the signature:
I have a question though, my EAD (from F-1 OPT) expires in March. Is there any way I can continue working by using the receipt notice (when I receive them) as a proof that I will eventually get authorized or do I need an actual EAD card which may take another 2-3 months to get processed. Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks

Thanks for the input -- I guess going by what others have told me too, I'll have to take an unpaid leave till my EAD arrives.
Another question: When does the application status become active on the USCIS website. I received the receipts but the website does not have any details for them yet ?

Question1:: so should i also attach my W2 with my wife W2's.??
Question2:: In I-864EZ, they are asking sponsor adjusted income from last 3 years. here, should i just put my wife individual income or should i put our joint income as reported on Tax Return's??

I-864EZ Queston - help me
:: I have little problem filling up Part 5- Question19 of I-864 EZ form.
Q19:: Sponsor (adjusted gross income on IRS Form 1040EZ) as reported on my Federal tax returns for the most recent three years was:
Tax Year Total Income
2008 $$
2007 $$
2006 $$
since my wife( sponsor) and i filed joint taxes, therefore IRS form 1040EZ shows our combined income. Now here in Q19 , do i need to fill up our joint income as shows on IRS Tax Return or just her income for last 3 years. I can calculate only my wife income from her W2's.
this is the link of I-864EZ form :: http://www.uscis.gov/files/form/I-864EZ.pdf

Adding myself here...
My timeline from now on should be similar to some of the folks here... Although I submitted my I-130 June 2008, I just upgraded from LPR to USC on Feb. 27. Have not seen a touch yet, but I have heard that it takes about a week for that. Assuming about 2 weeks processing have occured... i.e. receiving the application and cashing my check, I should be equal to a USC applying in mid february. However, as I understand my priority date goes back to June 2008 so maybe I will be a little faster than some here who need consular processing like I do. (wife not here, can't come here yet) I should be practically first in line, but I am not sure they work like that...
Anyway good luck to all!

My guess is that you fill in only your sponsors income. She is the one sponsoring you. Her W-2s are the important ones. Your income should have nothing to do with it. (besides showing up on the tax transcript) BTW, you are in America, its "fill out the form" not "fill up the form".
