I-864 and co-sponsor?!

[zenlike 0]

Hi everyone. We finally received her interview date and in the email, it is requesting an original I-864 and a co-sponsor. I make $85k a year plus. After doing the I-134 and sending in my tax returns (which they are also asking for along with W-2s yet again) why do I need the I-864? Has anyone gone through this? It was not included in the list of documents in packet 3.

Thanks,

Ty

That is very strange. Are you employed/ salaried or self-employed? If the later, what is line 22 of your tax return?

I am employed and last year I made over $100k. It doesn't make any sense to me either.

I would email the embassy and ask them for clarification. If for some reason you show a massive loss on your taxes, that might be one reason they would ask for cosponsor. But still, sounds incorrect. Can you paste the contents of the email and leave out name and case number?

Ah this is the same email we received. They just ask IF you need a cosponsor. They wouldn't even know that until you reached your interview. Just take your support documents as you normally would. Originals of everything in hand. And you'll be fine. No worries
