proof of income & tax returns

[pushbrk 12,105]

You do need to earn that money for 3 yrs in a row to be considered acceptable for affidavit of support. I did not do that and therefore needed to have a cosponser. With this they need to add there income but dont forget you then need to change the number of dependents and that changes the required amount. The forms for this talk about that part. And the website for uscis talks about the amount of money required. You also need to fill out the contract between sponser and household member (cant remember the # of the document)...

i think thats as someone said earlier that 3 years is required for the I864, but not the I134, unless its just different in Sweden?

Three years is no longer required for the I864 either.

That's true but there are two issues. Requiring three years of tax returns, never meant the income requirements had to be met for all three years. Even today when the I-864 requires one tax return, a student with an income to low in 2006, submitting an I-864 in October 2007, showing a current income of say $30k with pay stubs and an employer letter can still get approved. Nothing says the required income must show any tax return submitted. People are reading extra meaning into the stated requirements. Read carefully and interpret literally.

If anybody is wondering if the above is really true, change the example to a med school graduate with a $90k salary that began six months before the affidavit was submitted, but that shows on no tax return. They'll get approved. If so, then the income is not required to show on a previously filed tax return.

My wife is attempting to use assets in sponsoring me, I understand this to be questionable so I have secured a co sponsor. My question is what is typically required as proof of taxes filed or paid. I know the returned 1040 but what other supporting documents. Also my sponsor files jointly with his wife so how should I approach that. DO they both sign AOS or sign individual ones, how does that work?
