I-864

[Travis and Meghan 24]

We are getting married next week so are starting to try and organise all of the AOS stuff but i have a question about the I864. I'm not sure what we are supposed to put as Travis' annual income. he doesn't earn a set amount, it's a little different every week, and he's only been there for three or four months so we have no idea what to put as annual income. Do we just put what he's earnt so far this year? We know he's under the poverty line though so we're using a co sponsor as well. Has anyone else had this problem? he's never had to file a tax return or anything either so we can't go by previous years income or anything like that.....

Alot of people have this problem due to overtime, etc., I suggest adding up income on all the paystuubs and dividing that by the number of weeks worked to get an average weekly salary, then multiply by 52 to get an average yearly salary. Send in your paystubs to back this up and you should be ok.

If he is a wage/salary earner then take an average and annualize it to get the yearly amount.

If he is self employed, then last year's income shown on line 22 of the form 1040 tax return is the income amount used. From what you've stated if self employed then a joint sponsor will be required.

Thanks for the info guys! He's not self employed but he works at walmart and they tend to give him a different amount of hours every week...just to be a pain in the ####, lol
