I have few questions about filling out the 1-864:

1) If my income is over the required '125% over poverty line' amount, do I need to include assets such as home, bank account and other investments?

2) What exactly do they mean when they say 3 years of tax information? Can I send in a copy of my tax returns for the past 3 years?

No you shouldn't worry about the assets as long as you meet the income requirements. You will need your adjusted gross income off of your 1040. But they don't require you to send it all in. You just send the most recent year and you just enter the numbers from the last 3 years while filling out the form.

You're welcome.

I'm no mathematician and I might be missing something but 19,000 x 1.25 is 23,750.

This is perfect. Thanks!

Stupid question but if the poverty line for 2 people is 19000, then 125% of that would be 42750 right?

No. Take the poverty line times 1.25, or just consult the I-864p.

You're welcome.

I'm no mathematician and I might be missing something but 19,000 x 1.25 is 23,750.

Correct formula but wrong starting number. The poverty line for 2 is $15,130. So, 125% is $18,912.

I myself filled out an I-864EZ for my petition. Just to be very thorough and leave absolutely no chance for an RFE, if I were you, I would send my last 3 years' worth of tax returns complete with W2 for each each. An employment verification letter from your current employer stating your current annual income and pay-stubs for the past 6 pay periods.

This is what I sent and my application was approved very smoothly.

The above is *especially* valid if you DON'T yet have your 2011 tax return. Because they want to see CURRENT and on-going income, which the 2010 or previous returns are unable to prove, since they are already in the past.

Correct, at least from the petitioner.

What will you use as evidence of "current income". Tax returns are historical. You qualify to sponsor based on current income.

Hi pushbrk, I am planning on including 8 pay stubs, which translates to pay checks for the last 4 months. Should I send in more months?

I'm also sending in an employment letter from the HR department at work which details my salary, title and how long I have been working there.

If your pay stub shows year to date gross income, you only need to send one. With such a pay stub, you don't really need an employer letter, but since you have one, you might as well include it.
