question about JOINT SPONSOR that files jointly with spouse

[Velvety 4]

I am petitioning for my husband. I'm getting AOS and IV packets ready. My dad will be our joint sponsor but he files taxes jointly with my mom. My question is, do they BOTH have to fill out an I-864 form?? EACH?

Question #2

Who here has had their joint sponsor send just tax returns?? NOT transcripts and have had success?? I would like to mail everything out this weekend and didint want to wait until my dad got his transcripts. He just has his tax returns at home.

Any additional advice is appreciated.

Question 2:

I turned in one tax transcript and two tax returns with W-2's. We had no problems.

Tax returns are fine but should include all supporting docs.

Question 1: My dad is a joint sponsor and does married filing jointly with my mom with their taxes. My dad filled out I864 and my mom filled out I864a to attach to his joint sponsor form. She is a household member of a sponsor (in this case, my dad). Good to use to prove they are both aware of the sponsorship, especially if they are married filing jointly.

What kind of supporting docs? Are you referring to W2's?? Pay stubs??

If so, how many pay stubs? For the whole year??

Thanks. How many tax returns did they use??

Letter from employer, current pay stubs and tax returns for past three years are the norm. If you're sending copies of filed tax returns you need to send everything - W2s, all schedules not just copy of 1040.

I am referring to anything that was submitted with the tax return. Supporting documents just as was sent to the IRS. Pay stubs? If that income is reflected on the return it isn't needed really but you can send a YTD stub.

I will be submitting all three past years of their transcripts (2012-2014), nothing else.
