co-sponsor question

[sandybabe_onuh 0]

Hi Everyone

I received confirmation of receipt of the I-130 for my husband on March 8, 2007. We have received our NOA1 on March 15, 2007. Our status is, Petition received and Pending.

I want to know however, since I am going to be using a co-sponsor, is it too soon for her to get all her financial documents in order for the I-864 that she will be submitting on my husbands behalf?

Also, since the I-864 has to be notorized, is there a time frame in which it needs to be done in, say as in 30 days of submittion of documents?

Thanks for any help with this issue.

Hi,

I didn't think the I-864 had to be notarized (anymore). Are you sure about that? Certainly somebody will be able so answer that soon.

About the other evidence.. The co-sponsor (and also the main sponsor) will need their most recent six paystubs, so considering they probably get 2 each month, collecting them now is a little early, but you might as well keep them anyway for "strenghtening the case". They'll also need their tax info for this year, and they can send in up to three of those to strengthen the case again.

We went ahead already and ordered tax transcripts from the IRS so we wouldn't have to wait for them later.

I think it's notarized by the official who does the interview on the day of the interview.

Also, are you sure it's this year they need the tax info for? I thought it was the past two years since 2007 isn't over and taxes haven't been filed.

Well, I meant 2006 when I said "this year" because you file for 2006 this year. Sorrry if that was misleading.

You are correct, and the OP only needs to read I-864 to see the same information.
