concerns about I 864

[badra 0]

Hello again I have a few questions about the I 864, My father is co sponsoring my wife...

On Part 5 (household size) what should my father check?

Should he check G optional or just A (for my wife)?

What should I check on Part 5? I think just (A) my wife and myself (B) correct?

question 24 asks: current annual income, What should my father (cosponsor) and I put in part B.

(I believe I should put in my fathers name and Income and my father should leave this part blank, just want to be sure!)

Father checks A for the sponsored immigrant.

You also check because you are sponsoring an immigrant, you do not count her as WIFE on the I-864 when it is for sponsoring your wife.

Father list his gross income on his I-864, and you list your gross income on your I-864.

Correct, on part 1, your father checks D-only joint sponsor.

For 2007 Put your "Gross (total) income" that you made in 2007 which corresponds with your tax papers.

You will also most likely need 2008 return (transcripts or copies) as well.

Thanks. Are you sure they have to correspond with the tax papers. For intstance my father is the jpont sponsor, he is turning in his 2008 tax information but put in a diffrent amount for CURRENT income. Because he currently doesnt work for the same company as listed on his 2008 tax files. Is this ok?

For the past years they should match what you list on the affidavit and what is on the tax transcripts/copies.

For 2008 however it would be understandable if there are differences since they want your CURRENT income as well. Make sure he can show a letter of employment stating how much he will make this year. Is he also providing his returns/transcripts from the past 3 years?

ahh ok. No, he is providing 2008 tax info and this years pay stubs, think it will be enough? thanks

It might be a good idea to have them handy, they're not mandatory but its better to be safe then delayed
