Sponsor for AOS

[Kristy 8]

I am very lucky to have a father who is willing and able to be the co sponsor for my fiance's visa. I myself am a nanny and don't make enough to qualify as my fiance's sponsor. I was wondering, when we get around to submitting financial stuff for the AOS, do I submit my tax returns as well, or just my dad's? Thanks!

For AOS and the I-864, you will need to list the amounts from your taxes for the last 3 years and send in a transcript from the most recent year (2011). This will be true for both the primary sponsor(petitioner) and the joint sponsor.

Are you talking about Affidavit of support for the visa interview or AOS for adjustment of status. They require two different forms and are two different things.

I'd like information on both actually. Kind of confused about the whole thing. Are past three years taxes mandatory? I thought I saw on some paper somewhere that it was optional.

Tax information seems to vary on the US embassy in the beneficiarys country. Some seem to require it some don't. I would check with the UK forum to see if you do need it.

I-864 form is generally used for " AOS " which happens after the beneficiary is in the USA and after marriage. Link to the AOS process for green card http://www.visajourney.com/content/k1k3aos

I-134 is used for affidavit of support generally at the US embassy when the petitioner is proving income for sponsoring the beneficiary. Although some US embassys take the I-864, its country specific as well who do that.

Both forms follow the 125% of the poverty guideline for sponsoring found here - http://www.uscis.gov/files/form/i-864p.pdf

100% for active duty military --- 125% for others. Annual income before taxes are taken off.
