W2 VS. 1099

[lovekoto 3]

What amount of income we have to put in 1-864 form? is it the amount is W2 or 1099?

Thanks everyone.

no, it's the amount from a line in the tax return form, either 1040EZ or 1040.

Not the W-2s, NOT the 1099.

Thanks everyone.

If you are not self employed, it is your adjusted gross income which is a combination of the W2s and 1099s. I put down my gross income from my current employer and had an employment letter and pay-stubs backing that number up as current income. I then put my income from my tax returns for the next two years using the adjusted gross income number and attached tax transcripts as proof. Whatever numbers you use, you must be ble to prove that you actually make that amount of money. The closer to the 125% of the poverty level the more the USCIS will examine the evidence.

Good luck,

Dave

is it required to have 2010 and 2009 copy of Tax transcripts for the interview? I only asked 2011 from my joint sponsor.

How can you compute the adjusted gross income? My husband only has w2 and 1099 for the year 2010.

another question, how do you attach the tax trancripts or explanation that my husband is not required to file taxes? is has to be stapled together with 1-864 during the interview?

This will depend on the person reviewing your case and the co-sponsor's income level. If the co-sponse is significantly above the required income amount then the current income tax return should suffice. It sounds like your husband did not file a tax return as that is where the adjusted gross income amount comes from. If he did not file a tax return, he should put the amount he can prove which is the W2 plus the 1099 and attach a letter explaining why he was not REQUIRED to file an income tax return. Make copies of the W2 and 1099 to include as proof of income along with the letter. Then the support for the I-864 falls to your co-sponsor.

for the year 2011, he did not file also because he is living abroad and no job. How can we write an explanation that he did not file for the year 2010 and 2011? Can I write a letter for year 2010 and 2011 or should it be done separately?

I saw in his w2 for the year 2010, it is only 440 usd.. therefore, it did not reach the minimum required amount in filing taxes.

what is your suggestion?

Thanks for helping me.

the more the USCIS the Embassy will examine the evidence.

USCIS does not make a determination in spousal visa cases whether or not the affidavit of support is accepted, a CO at the Embassy or Consulate does.
