Paycheck stubs for affidavit of support

[garnet80 1]

I swear, I have spent the past hour searching. I cannot find the answer. I am sure it has been asked before, I just can't find it.

Is it okay to print these off of the internet? I don't even get a paper copy... just direct deposit, and access to them online. I'm unsure if I can "order" them through work.

The other things I have for proof are (for both myself and my co-sponsor) the completed I-134s, 5 printed from the internet detailed paycheck stub records, 3 years of tax transcripts from the IRS, and a signed letter from our employers with all the necessary information.

I've already mailed all of this off to my fiance. The NVC should be getting out packet any day now, so if I have to figure something else out, I am in trouble.

Thanks

I think it is becoming more and more common for companies to use e-stubs of one form or another. They look like stubs right? (Have similar information; taxes, withholdings, etc) If so, I'll bet you're fine.

Oh yes, there are two options on the website... a simple, or extended. I got the "extended" version of the checks, which has every last detail that would be on a paper mailed stub. You can tell it's a print out of course... but all of the information is absolutely there.

Thanks so much for your reply.

What you could do is bring your bank statement matching up the deposits with the pay stubs from the internet as well. That might work.

Net paystubs are fine, and you have tax transcripts and employee letter. W2s would seal the deal. You should just make sure everything else is in order and stop worrying about this one....

In this day and age it's very common to have e-stubs.

Your info on the e-stub will match your W-2/Tax return info, so no worries

Photo copies of W2s okay? I know they want all originals. But everything else is the original, and I just don't know how my mom (co-sponsor) would feel about me sending her actual W-2s out there. Also, I was thinking about just sending her W2s? My sponsorship is just for show as I don't make enough... and the W2s are just my ex husbands name... I don't know if I should send those or not. I do have everything else for both of us, employer letters, tax transcripts, paystubs. I never even thought to do W2s. ><

Copies are fine. We never sent any originals of any IRS stuff at all. Originals were only from documents I had to bring (foreign beneficiary) during this part of the process. Only originals that can be sent is the tax transcript that comes certified when you order a copy (at least it's this way here in PR), but the W2's can be copies.

The letter from bank was original, but pay stubs were regular copies as well. You should be just fine.

Thanks for the replies. Good news.

On a similar note, on posts I've read on the boards, it's saying my fiance needs my marriage certificate (I'm the USC)? I don't see this on the packet 3 checklist Vancouver sent in an email. He has my divorce decree... do I need to send my marriage certificate too? All I see on the list is divorce decree. But all over the boards... marriage certificate. Maybe I am misunderstanding. We are doing a K1...

And does he need MY original birth certificate too, for the interview? They already have copies of course. I thought I had an official copy made but now I can't find it. I have the genuine original, but hesitate to mail that. >.<

I thought they just needed his long form birth certificate... but?
