Yes to 1099's, schedules etc. IRS tax transcripts are better than returns.

AP - no. There's no letter stating why you need the travel document.

There's an AOS thread in my signature that has the entire document list for AOS, EAD and AP.

Hi there this is what i found after doing some research about the 1099. Tell me if this is correct or not? So would that mean i don't have to supply them the 1099? Sorry i don't really understand the tax system here find it all to confusing being from the UK..

Bimik: a 1099 is a tax form needed when you have your "own company", meaning that if he was paid "outside of the normal payroll system", he will have to report that income based on a "1099" form... so, if he works for a Company and does not do other type of work, don't worry about it, he wont have a 1099.

What you are including is fine if he does not have a 1099. State taxes are not necessary to include but it wont hurt anybody if you do...

Here is a link to the IRS site to get the "Tax transcripts", I recommend you to ask NOW for the last 3 years just in case of getting another RFE about it (it takes about 10 to 15 days to get the tax transcripts (they are free)(tax trasncripts will give them everthing they need to shut up about it) you can also call the 800 number to ask for them.

If you don't have 1099's then you don't need them... but if you do have them then you need them. I'f you're not sure, then what I would recommend is finding your local IRS office and going in (he would have to) and requesting his IRS transcripts for 2007, 2008 and 2009. He should get them there and then. If you can't get to a local office (or it's not "local" at all) and have access to a fax they can fax them to you OR you can just wait for the post (up to 2 weeks).

This way you're sure. Otherwise you can just send what you have and wait and see when they want anything else.

Here is a Q&A on what a 1099 is: http://www.wisegeek.com/what-is-a-1099-form.htm

**Edit - don't know where you got that from but the form SPECIFICALLY states not to include state tax returns. I wouldn't include it even though your quote says it can't hurt.. they say specifically not to, that much mean they REALLY don't want it so I wouldn't ignore that. As you can read from the Q&A I posted the quote isn't exactly correct... he doesn't need his own company but if the employer treats him like a contractor he might have one... IRS transcripts ARE the safest option.

You are missing proof of US status for your sister-in-law, which might be a passport of a birth certificate. I guess you need to same for your husband too, as the main sponsor, although they may have that held over from the K-1, that I don't know.

Ohhhhhhh, dammit. That's what my recent RFE is going to be for. My co-sponsor's proof of citizenship. Gawd, that was stupid coz I provided it for the I-134. Now I have to wait for the hardcopy RFE to arrive and then get it all sent off again. Reedonkulous.

Sorry, hijack over! lol
