Help filling out form I-864 Affidavit of Support

[Yelli 8]

I'm trying to fill out all the forms on my own by looking at my sister's forms and I just can't figure out how to fill some of the stuff out on the I-864 form.

I'm on Part 6 of the application and am wondering if where it asks for the current individual annual income, we put last years total from my husband's w2 form?

Another thing is, I don't know if to put my name on section 6.a. (Income you are using from any other person who was counted in your household size, including, in certain conditions, the intending immigrant.) Reason why I'm wondering is because I did not file taxes for 2014 since I only worked for about 5-6 months and my boss decided to pay me cash. I have been working there since 2009 and was getting paid with a check and filing taxes since she was using my TIN as a SSN, but then in Dec. 2013 I had a baby, returned to work for one month in 2014 then took some off then went back for about another 4-5 months and that's when she decided to pay me cash instead of check and reporting me on her taxes. So I'm not sure what to put for that section since like I said I did not file taxes for 2014. Help?

Whether you earned a buck or a million, paid by check, cash, or even gifts, your employer must file a W-2 with the IRS with the dollar value, this is the law. Can only post my experience, during our AOS they wanted to see my last three years of tax returns. Guess they want to be darn sure you can afford to sponsor an immigrant.

Only suggestion I can offer is to contact your employer.

My husband can support me on his own, we've checked the required amount for a household of 3 and he earns like $20k more than that amount, so we know his income alone is good. If I do use mine as well, would I just need a letter from my employer saying about how much she paid me?

This is adjustment of status through family so I don't even think this is the right place for my post either. Just noticed that there's one for doing it through family.

Ok, I just came from reading a post on the Adjustment of Status (Green Card) From Family Based Visas and I read that if the sponsor meets the requirements on his/her own then he/she doesn't have to list anyone else on there, did I read that correctly? I'll copy and paste:

If you are currently employed and have an individual income which meets or exceeds 125 percent of the Federal poverty line, (or 100 percent, if applicable) for your household size, you do not need to list the income of any other person.

So does that mean he doesn't have to list me on the 6.a. part of the form? Cause my husband does meet the required income on his own for our household of 3.

Did you enter the US on a K visa? If not, then you are not adjusting status from a family based visa.

No, I entered on a B-2 Visitor back in 1998 when I was only 8 yrs old. Got married to a US Citizen last year. It's through family but not from family based visa so I get you now. I do apologize, just wanted to be sure my post was in the correct thread.
