few questions regarding AOS

[Beautifulday 16]

hi guys. i am in the process of filling forms out for the aos/ap/ead. to avoid making a bunch of threads, i will use this one to post all of my questions, i hope you guys can help me out, i will be very thankful!!

so my first question is.....about how much must my co-sponsor be making in order to be able to be my co-sponsor? i know that differs from the k1 application one, but not sure what the amount is.

i am applying for the aos with a co-sponsor, it is my husband's sister, how much must she be making to be my co-sponsor? btw she was also my co-sponsor when i applied for a k1.

and also, do both of them need to fill out the affidavit of support forms? or just her, my co-sponsor. thanks!

It isn't really different from the I-134. They both need to fill out their own I-864 forms and provide their own supporting documentation. The joint sponsor also needs to provide proof of being a USC or LPR. Same stuff I helped you with when filing for the K-1. Just read through the I-864 instructions. They are very detailed in what they want.

thank you. does my co-sponsor need to provide me with their tax return transcripts for the recent 3 years or is 1 recent year enough? on the affidavit of support they are mentioning the most recent year but several people told me otherwise.

also, does my co-sponsor and my husband need to provide me with documents such as work letter or paystubs like they had to when sponsoring me for a k1 or is all they need to give me is filled out affidavits of support + birth certificate (US citizenship proof) + tax return transcript(s) ?

Yes, you should include a letter of employment, 6 months paystubs, proof of citizenship & tax returns for the last 3 years ( Most recent year is most important )

6 months paystubs? so 12 of them...?thats alot!

ill have tax transcripts but i wanna ask you guys bout the work letters.....both my husband and my co-sponsor, his sister, provided me with their letters of employment around 2 months ago when i was preparing for my interview at the US embassy in Poland. the letters are dated sep 15. do you guys think it would be ok to send these letters in or should i try to make them get new ones? letters r two months old right now, but nothing changed in their work or anything. what do u guys think

You need to list the last 3 years Total Income from the tax returns, line 22 of the 1040 form. You only have to submit the most recent tax transcript though. All 3 years are not required to be sent in with the I-864.

Yes, you should provide proof of current income. You can use letter from employer and/or pay stubs. One or the other or both. If the current annual income amount has not changed, then the letters you used for the K-1 should be ok to re-use.
