I-864 Joint Sponsor Question

[mirrortraveler 1]

My husband's pay is hourly and he works overtime a lot. There is no set income that stays the same every month.

Hmm...alright. Thanks for the heads up. By the way, do we have to send copies of my husband's and our joint sponsor's whole passports for identification for I-864 or just the bio pages? And I guess an additional copy of my husband's birth certificate wouldn't be necessary if we already have the passport page, right?

The USC sponsor does not need proof of citizenship, just the joint sponsor. They only need to provide a copy of the bio page of their US passport, not the whole thing.

And just to reiterate (I am horrible at this): If the "Wages, tips, other comp." section in my joint sponsor's 2014 W2 shows $50626.91, that's what I enter in the I-846 under "My current individual annual income is:"?

Or am I completely off?

If using just his tax transcript and W-2 as proof of his income, then yes, you can list that amount as his current income, especially if not much has changed in the way of his salary. If you want to use the pay stubs and calculate his actual current income, then take an average of his bi-weekly gross income amounts and multiply that by 26.

Okay, but which amount from the Tax Transcript? The one that reads "Total Income" or the one that reads "Gross Adjusted Income"? The wording of the question on the form is really weird and unspecific.

Use the line for Total Income. You only use Adjusted Gross Income if he filed the 1040EZ form.
