Affadavit for each family member?

[77happyfeet 0]

Hi. Myself (US born citizen), living in Canada for 22yrs with two children (landed abroad w/papers) are moving back to US this July (sold our home). My husband, who has recently retired after 32yrs of service, is in the process, we are filling out the affidavit of support and would ask your advice. I will not longer be working as of June, (so I guess I will mark retired), and show my last three years taxes.

Where it asks Sponsors Income #5 (current individual annual income, mine is $0 at that point, but it say if I am using from any other person, do I put in my husband's yearly pension amount?...I would have paperwork to verify this, or do I just leave it as $0 and where I put Person 1 (beneficiary/spouse) his current income, put the amount.

What would I put for #10 (my current annual Household Income? My husbands (who will be supporting us) yearly income, or $0 (me retired w/no pension).

My children, they have all their US paperwork/passports. Do I need to put them on the affidavit under my name, or just on the affidavit of my husband?

Do I need to fill out Affidavits for each child or are they under the (exempt rule..."Any intending immigrant who will, upon admission, acquire US citizenship under section 320 of the Immigration and Nationality Act, as amended by the Child Citizenship Act of 2000 (CCA)?

Thank you so much, you all have been so helpful.

we haven't send in our AOS and got a checklist for that. i called NVC yesterday and today operatord told me husband need to fill out i864w for my 2 minors (cca 2000). i asked if he needs to attach tax returns for the 2 cases and said no as for its an AOS exemption. i asked a couple of times here on vj and they said to attach tax return. so, we've decided to attach the 2013 tax return.....haven't heard from anyone here bein issued checklist for attaching too many proof... so what the heck,...better be safe than checklist...

No affidavit of support for children who are already US Citizens. The section you quoted doesn't apply. They aren't acquiring citizenship upon admission. They already ave it. Either way, no affidavit.

Your children are part of your household size, so list them in section 5 number 4. Do not put a 1 for your spouse, as he is already counted as the intending immigrant.

In part 6, Person 1 is your husband. Show his income as both his income and the total household income. In part 6, 13a, b and c. list the total income from your applicable tax returns. This is only informational. Has nothing to do with current income or qualification to sponsor, in your circumstance. Your income is 0 in all but the tax return sections.

Your husband provides an I-864a. Make sure to document that his income will continue from the same source once he immigrates.

Having the I-864 instructions handy when completing the affidavit will be quite valuable.
