What you made individually assuming your wife will be quitting her job in order to immigrate the the US.  If this is the case then you will not be able to use her current income to support her as she will have no income until her green card allowing her to work here is received.

Incorrect.  Enter the number from line 22 of the 1040 form, or the adjusted gross total if using 1040EZ.  Sounds like your wife, as the intending immigrant will be able to combine her income with yours and file an I-864a.  Only when asked for your personal current income, or hers, do you enter your individual income, but not from any tax returns.  Tax returns are the past.  If your salary is 50k then that's your current income, whether you even HAD a job last year.

Ok so for example my personal current income will have to be an estimate since I don't have a salary? I made 45k last year and this year I'm anticipating to make almost the same

It depends on what data you're using to estimate.  If you have the same job, I would use your June 30 YTD income X 2, as your current income, then supply the June end of month pay stub to document it.

To be exact I submitted an affidavit already to nvc and we are scheduled for interview august 4 in Ciudad Juarez...they did not advice to take. Revised one or nothing but I did not make a copy of it so if I make a new one I'm a little worried that some of the number might be different because I don't recall what I wrote...would it affect if I turn in a new one at the interview?

If the new one is accurate and factual, there would be no problem.  It's a corrected or updated affidavit, so does not need to match the old one.

Only state your individual tax amount excluding your wife's. Besides the tax transcript, submit the W2 which reflects the individual tax amount that you input into the I-864 form :) 

For my I-129F, K-1, AOS, EAD, AP and ROC detailed timelines, please refer to my timeline page :)

ROC filed on December 1, 2020, assigned to SRC, approved within 106 days on February 18, 2021.

My sincerest gratitude to all VJers, especially the late geowrian.

So basically I just add up my w2s?

Posted

You get a W2 each year. You do not add them up with other years. If you are sending in 2014, 2015 and 2016's tax transcripts, then you submit 2014, 2015 and 2016's W2. 

 

I-864 asks for your current expected annual income for the year 2017. If you're a waged employee, figure out your monthly average and then multiply by 12 to get an estimation of this year's annual income. If you are still paid the same as last year, you can always use 2016's annual income as a benchmark to input your current individual annual income.

I get that part about the annual income...I'm talking about where it asks you to state the tax return amount for the previous year.. that's where my question is..because it my returns it doesn't give me separated amounts its combined I believe it's line 22 of form1040
