I would greatly appreciate if someone could tell mea bout filling the I-864 form. They are asking for tax returns for the last 3 years. Do all 3 of them have to show the income level above the 125% in order to qualify as a sponsor or only the most recent one/current? The form itself, apparently, is only asking about the last/current income level, but there is a reason they are asking for 3 years history.
In my situation, all 3 of my most recent tax returns do not show the income required in order to qualify - 3 years ago I was a student, and I have been working for the last 1.5 years, but, for the first years I only worked few months, therefore although annual income in more than sufficient, the actual number is lower. My 2003 tax return is not due yet, but it is the first one that would show that I now have enough income to qualify as a sponsor. It is clear, that if I don't wait for my 2003 tax return, I would need a co-sponsor (or use income of my parent with I-864A). But what if I wait a little and get my 2003 tax return that would show that I have enough income to sponsor? Will I need a co-sponsor still (for the previous 2 years)? That is my major concern right now...
Bets regards,

They will go by the income on the most current tax return. They ask for the three years just to make sure you have a job and most importantly, to make sure you have been paying your taxes, so if your 2003 tax form will be the one with the income to qualify as a sponser, then you will have to wait till you file your tax this year. Good luck
 
I-864

Thanks a lot, Vidash. I have confirmed what I had in my mind:). But let me ask you, where does your knowledge come from? Or is it just a commonsense? Best regards.

Hi VIDASH
I am in the process of filling my I-864 for AOS, but my wife (USC) never worked in USA. This year will be second year that we will file joint tax return. In my case do i need to get a I-864A form filled out by my father-in law? Or can i show my income forthe past three years? Please help.
 
I-864 for parents

Hi

Can I sponser both my mother and father if my income is enough?
Since I have field I-30 separetly, I need to fill separate I-864 for my father and mother
My question is while filling I-864 for my mother should I include my mother in the house hold size and in my mother I-864 should i count my father in the house hold size.

Thanks in advance for your help.

No you don't have to include your mother as a member of the house hold if she is not living with you. If she is living with you then you will have to. Good luck
 
Hi Trueman999, the pettioner's income is what they are looking for, since your wife is not working, she can have friends or family do fill the form with thier income if they are willing. Good luck.
 
Thanks for your reply Vidash. I just read this on USCIS site about household size.

{Household size means all those living in the sponsor's house or dependent on the sponsor for support. The household size is:

The sponsor

All relatives by blood, marriage or adoption living in the sponsor's household

All dependents listed on the most recent federal tax forms (IRS 1040), whether or not they live in the sponsor's household.

Any individuals for whom the sponsor has already signed an I-864 and for whom the contractual obligation still exists

The applicant (beneficiary) for the visa

The applicant's (beneficiary's) accompanying dependents }


I am confused with the last line "The applicant's (beneficiary's) accompanying dependents"
I guess i have filed I-130 for my mother and father seperatly and because of that i should not count my mother as my father's accompanying dependents or visa versa, right?

That is correct. Each of them is a separate application.
 
Hi,

As I mentioned before , trying to fill I-864 for parents (seperatly). There is one section where they ask to list name of spouse/childeren immigrating with the immigrant.

My question is, while filling application for my father, should i write my mother name as immigrant or I should not metion her name since i will have seperate application for my mother.

Please reply me as soon as possible
 
Hi,

Question regarding House Hold size.

My In-laws lives with us but they have jobs and are not dependents on us. I am going to sponsor my patrents. The question is should I include/count my In-laws in total House Hold Size or not?
 
I would suggest you go by your IRS tax return. To the number of deductions in the tax return add 1 for each person you are sponsoring. If you are sponsoring both parents, then you need to add 2 to your number of deductions for size of household.
