Hi,
I'm applying for AOS, and my wife and I have completed the I-130, I-485, I-765, and G325x2 forms.
My wife isn't working, and hence, doesn't meet the income requirements. In previous tax years, my wife is listed as a dependent on her parents tax return (1040). They were going to complete the I-864, but it appears they don't meet the 125% poverty line requirement (according to the gross adjusted income listed on their tax returns).
My cousin is a green card holder and meets the income requirements. Can he sponsor me?
At the moment, my understanding is that he can, and will need to complete the I-864 as a joint sponsor and provide me with 3 years tax returns and a recent pay stub (to send to USCIS with my application).
Am I correct in assuming that my wife also has also has to complete the I-864 (even though her income is $0) as the primary sponsor, and I have to include her parents tax returns, on which she is listed as a dependent?
Does the I-864A have to be filled in? I'm not sure about this one, and where it fits in, though I think it had to be filled in when my in-laws were going to be the sponsors.
On a side note, my 90 day visa issued under the VWP expires in the first week of November. Is there any problem with sending off my AOS so late? (ie. what happens if USCIS take a while to file it, or if there's any problem and they get sent back? Will I then be out of status and endanger my AOS application?)
Can someone also clarify exactly what I need to send. Here's what I have atm:
* I-130
* I-485
* I-765
* G325 x 8 (me)
* G325 x 4 (wife)
* 6 passport photographs of me
* 2 passport photographs of my wife (USC)
* Photocopy of my wife's SSN card and Drivers Licence
* Sealed envelope from civil surgeon with I-693
* Photocopy of marriage certificate
* Photocopy of my birth certificate
* Photocopy of my passport (page with picture + information)
* Photocopy of my wife's passport (page with picture + information)
* Photocopy of I-94 (green form, VWP) and stamp in passport
Things I need to include (but need help with, as per my post above)
* I-864 completed by my wife, with her parents tax returns for 3 years (on which she is listed as dependent)
* I-864 completed by my cousin with his tax returns for 3 years and a recent pay stub.
Is there anything else I need to send in addition to this?
Thanks. Any help is much appreciated.
