I-864 Technical Question

[Gabe111 0]

Hi all...

I am filing out the good ole I-864 (affidavit of support) form...I might have an issue.

While I recently became a full time W2 employee at a company, for the last 3+ years, I was a 1099 self employed worker.

So in Step 23 & 24c, I can put my current annual income of $50,000 (not real, just showing i am way over the $18k limit).

But in Step 25, when I list my previous 3 years of adjusted incomes, each is below the $18,000 limit because I have a number of write offs/deductions each year as a 1099 employee.. I made well over $18,000 each year, but because of my write-offs/deductions, this number was brought below $18,000.

Is this a problem?

Thanks for your help!

They will qualify you by current income

They will qualify you by current income

and it is current gross income, correct?

If youre asking me...yes, it is current gross income.

Correct, prove it with check stubs and/or employer letter

No no. I was verifying something added to what Gary mentioned. I asked because of your concerns with write offs and such. Your concern is gross income though.

why are you required to fill out an I-864 for a K-1 visa?

I'm confused.
