Affidavit of Support Help

Hello eveyrone ,

 

I am putting together the AOS packet and I am having trouble getting theings together.

We have a joint sponsor and he has filed his taxes married filing jointly. Because he filed jointly it will show their incomes added together. Does he need to include his wife's taxes as well? He is the only one signing the AOS for us. Also what forms does he need to include?

Yes, since they filed jointly you should present financials for both, and the wife should file a I-864A

Hello, my name is XXXXX XXXXX U.S attorney, and I'll be happy to assist you today.

If your man sponsoring you pays taxes jointly with his wife, then I'd recommend that he fill out an I-864, and she fill out an I-864a. It will be easier to prove necessary income levels this way.

Because the wife has no income, if you don't want to fill out an I-864a for her, then you won't have to. However, your main sponsor is then under the burden of proving that the individual income he makes is sufficient to support you. He'll have to do this by finding old W-2s, paystubs, and other information that show his individual income, because he can no longer just show his joint return with his wife to prove income levels.

Here's the information from the field manual.

"If a sponsor filed a joint tax return with a spouse, but is qualifying using only his/her own individual income, the sponsor must submit evidence of that individual income. This evidence would include, for example, the sponsor’s own W-2(s), Wage and Tax Statement, and if necessary to reach the income requirement, evidence of other income reported to IRS which can be attributed to him/her, usually on Forms 1099"."

I sincerely XXXXX XXXXX answer addresses your concerns. Please take a moment to accept my service. We experts depend on positive ratings to continue helping out, so thank you in advance for your support. (And bonuses are always appreciated!)

Hi,

 

From the passage I copied and pasted above, I think the joint sponsor's wife may not need to file i864a, provided the joint sponsor submits his w2 to show that he alone makes all the income.
