864-Affidavit Of Support

[Dave&Judy 3]

Please help me with I-864 questions:

My wife is sponsoring myself and my daughter.

1. We're submitting her Tax Transcripts (last 3 yrs)+ 2011 W2 + last 6 months pay stubs+ Employer Letter

Will that be sufficient?

2. Letter from employer states hourly rate. How i can put annual income (in Q23) ?

3. Do i need to submit my last year tax returns (for I-864 or otherwise). We are NOT including my income.

4. For Q8 (I am sponsoring the principal immigrant in part 2(Part 2 is Info about Principal Immigrant): i checkd.

Then there is Yes No under that. Do i need to say Yes or No here?

5. I believe wife needs to fill separate I-864 for daughter. Am i right? In that case...

a. do we need to attach her Tax Transcripts (last 3 yrs)+ 2011 W2 + last 6 months pay stubs+ Employer Letter again?

b. Part 2 is Info about Principal Immigrant. This time it'll be my name or daughter's name? She is under 14.

Thanks a lot !

Hi Dave&Judy,

1. Those documents will be sufficient.

2. If your wife's income is fairly constant year-to-year and should be the same in 2011 as 2012, you could list her income from 2011. (For example, my mom has had almost the same salary for 10 years, so we listed that.) If not, it would be justifiable to simply multiply the hours she expects to work over the year, by the pay rate listed by her employer in the letter.

3. You do not need to include your own tax returns, since you are the intending immigrant being sponsored and you do not intend to use your income to meet the minimum.

4. Your wife is sponsoring you (the principal immigrant), so she checks "yes", of course.

5. I don't have firsthand experience with this, but if your case is a spousal visa petition, it looks like she doesn't need an entirely separate I-864 or a second copy of the supporting documentation -- though you do need to submit a second copy of the I-864 (same to yours), and your wife will need to check the box in question 9 and list your daughter.

from http://travel.state.gov/visa/immigrants/info/info_3183.html :

"Does each accompanying family member need separate documents if they are traveling with the principal applicant?

No, however, dependents immigrating with the principal applicant must have a signed original or a photocopy of the principal applicant's Form I-864, and I-864A if applicable. Copies may only be used by dependents named on the principal applicant's original forms."

Another more detailed answer to this question is found at : http://www.uscis.gov/files/form/i-864instr.pdf under "Do I need to submit a separate affidavit for each family member?"

Good luck!
