I am the US citizen sponsoring my spouse who is on H1visa. I am currently unemployed and my spouse is earning above the poverty line and so we are going to use his income for the form I-864. However I am confused as to whose tax returns go for section 25?
The form clearly has to be filled by the sponsor even if unemployed and has all sections basically directed towards me. I did file taxes for the past 3 years and so did my spouse. But we married recently so our names are not on each other's tax returns.
So should we list my tax returns on section 25 of the form and attach tax transcripts of last year for both me and my spouse? Or should we just list the tax return info of my spouse on the form? My spouse has no other dependents immigrating along with him so as far as we understand we don't need to fill form I-864A. To avoid all confusion should we still go ahead and fill form I-864A and list his tax info on that form?
Also we have a letter from his employer stating his current income and employment status as proof of continuing employment. Do we need to attach the original letter or a copy of the letter? Oh and for the I-765 for EAD under section 16 where it asks for the code its (c) (9) correct? Thanks guys. Please respond to my questions.
