I-864

[pars 9]

hello, here's the situation my husband (the petitioner) will be getting his bro-in-law as joint sponsor, who files tax jointly w/ his wife.

Now, my question is what to put on lines 23,24 and 25 on bro-in-law's I-864?

Note: bro-in-law's income alone is big enough to pass the poverty guidelines.

bro-in-law will provide tax returns and W2's instead of tax transcript will that be ok?

Thanks for taking some time reading this your help will be much appreciated... THANK YOU...

The joint sponsor lists their individual income amounts only for current and past years. The past years' W2 will confirm the individual amounts that are used in the joint return. Current year income claim is supported with recent paystubs and employer letter.

In that case please leave 24b of your husband's I-864 blank.

thank you... but my hubby still trying to figure out how he will determine his annual income, as I have asked before on another thread he is a merchant marine and has a sporadic type of job. well, maybe he will just put all the income he earned from 3 different companies this year 2011 as his current annual income. that's why we will be getting a joint sponsor although he met the poverty guidelines because the nature of his work might be questioned... thanks navyk

Your hubby's I-864 is only for academic purposes (he can show as you mentioned) - it is your co-sponsor;s I-864 that is relevant in your case. So see that the co-sponsor's employment letter with wages or latest pay stubs are enclosed. Also try to include some evidence that shows the co-sponsor's relationship with your hubby. See that the W-2 amounts match what you report in 25 of the I-864s.
