I can't find my 2015 W2.  Could I just use my 2016 W2?

Yes, that's fine. I believe requirement is just one year, but 3 years is optional

They would place more weight on his ability to fall above the poverty line when you immigrate which is why 2016 taxes are required but the prior 2 years are optional.  Is his 2016 income expected to continue in 2017?  Can he provide a letter of employment with his title, annual income and employment status to support the expected income?  It may also help to include recent pay stubs.    

When filling out the I-864 for current income, would you recommend putting projected income for 2017 or use income on tax return from 2016? Thanks!

Have you called them to review DS 261? IV fee unlocks a week after they review.

I didn't call them but It was unlocked today. Both of my payments are "in process" so hopefully soon I can fill out the DS-260 and mail everything in. So far everything is being processed really fast, hopefully it stays that way.

Let's both hope for that!  Can't wait to be done with the process though unfortately, I'm going through an CR1 so will have to do removal stuff after 2 years

My suggestion:  Ask the employer for a letter with his expected annual wages based on his hourly wage and expected hours per month.  Then you can just use that for the projected income and there won't be any questions.  Calculating yourself may result in a checklist if they have any questions or are concerned you may not meet the requirements for the current year and going forward.

Thank you. I sent my I-130 fedex to Chicago, they got it Tuesday and I got a text and email Wednesday stating they received it and it is being sent to Nebraska. Any idea the average processing time for Nebraska? My husband is in Tunisia. We've been together two years and married one year. I've been to Tunisia twice in the last year and both times I stayed for 30 days.

My husband is also in tunisia

I do uber and lyft. Its self employed. I will send tax return and transcripts . But do i need to send income proof of last few months? Because that would be only proof of income, not proof of Profit. Please advise

They're probably still entering your case into the system.  Give it a day or two and it should be fine

I understand how frustrating the whole process could be. Please just be patient....... " FYI" The whole NVC process would take around 11 weeks from when you send in everything they requested from you and all fees paid. 

Still waiting too. Just hang tight, and all would be well before you know it

 

Good luck!

So once all the we sent all the documents that are required and all the fees are paid then that when we can start counting the weeks? Correct?

Oh my God! I just got approved!!!! Soo elated and over the moon, my wife and I were just screaming at each other over the phone.

 

My PD was October 4, 2016. I was at Nebraska the entire time, no transfers or anything. I was approved on April 10, 2017 and received the hardcopy yesterday April 14, 2017. There was no notification online (in fact my status still hasn't changed).

 

Never fear guys, approvals are are on the way for everyone!
