Preparing AOS package

[karimaelo 0]

Hi,

I live with my petitioner in United Arab Emirates. I have paid the AOS fees and the status is PAID now. I also filled ds-261 online. I have a joint sponsor in USA and I am waiting for the I-864 form he filled and signed along with other required documents to be delivered to me. I have the following questions:

1) My joint sponsor is sending TAX return of 2013 and 2012 only. Do I have to include both or just one as it says one or three. If I include 2 years tax return will this cause any issue?

2) My petitioner has no income at all she's been a student till this date. And she never filed any TAX before. She has been to the U.S. only once to get here citizenship. I heard from people that even if you have no income, U.S. residents still need to file for TAX every year. Since she never done so, now when she fills the I-864 she will fill "0" in income fields for past 3 years. Is this fine? Will this cause a denial of our application? (NEVER FILED FOR TAX)

3) Now regarding Domicile. My petitioner has no address there nor a bank account. But I the beneficiary have a bank account since 2006 (when I was in U.S. for study), and I still have some money in it. So if I include some photo copies of my bank statements as a proof of domicile will it help?

4) I have contacted some shipping companies to make estimates regarding shipping my furniture. As some people here suggested in other threads. What else can I include to prove the domicile? What do you think if I ask my joint sponsor to send me a signed letter saying that he is willing to host us at his property till we are able to support ourselves.

5) Shall my petitioner include a letter from her university stating that she is still a full-time student to proof a temporarily stay abroad?

Thanks ahead for your time and I appreciate your suggestions and advice.

1) Just 2013 is needed

2) If she earned income she needed to file tax. If she did not, include a letter stating she was not required to file. Writing "0" in the fields is incorrect. You should put "not required to file." As long she wasn't actually required to file (a USC must file taxes EVERYWHERE in the world if they make enough income to file taxes.)

3) Can you add your spouse to your bank account? They will need to try to prove other things like trying to find a place to stay (lease, rental, etc...)

4) there are other threads dedicated to this if you search

5) No.

Thank you so much for your reply, I still have some doubts here:

And in the continued part related to part 6:

I am currently trying to open a co-owned checking account in U.S. bus since we live abroad this is gonna take some time. Do you think a shipping quote letter and a co-owned checking account are enough to show domicile proof?

Thanks

Not sure about the student part.

But on the second you write the tax years and where it says "total income" write "not required to file"

Include a letter stating why

Hi,

Can anyone help in me in writing a letter. My joint sponsor should write to show he is willing to host us at his home till we find ourselves a resident. I want to include it as a proof of domicile. I have very few options here. And can he write and send me a scanned copy of this letter with his signature on it?

One more question regarding package IV package fee it is still not available for me to pay. I already paid affidavit of aupport fees and it is shown paid since one month. Is it because I didn't send my affidavit package yet.

Thanks

No, the two tracks are separate. Action on one track has no bearing on actions in the other track.
