I864A/I864 I've mad more than the income requirement this year however since tax season is not yet, do they count that or my previous tax as my previous tax years I made WAY below the required income.

[josie125 63]

Household member and sponsor agreement. my mom is filing for my two brothers and once needs the I864 and since my mom has no income i am filing the I864A. however in previous 3 tax years, i have made below the amount however this year i am making over the amount required to sponsor. Does NVC look at your previous tax as your income or can they take what i've already made this year? As long as I provide proof?

Your CURRENT income is used to calculate the qualification for support.  However, you must submit all required documents.

Well, why did you income go up? Did you get a new job or something? The reason I ask is, because in some cases, for example, if you were a student and last year you make $5000. But this year you graduated and have a full time job with $50-60,000 salary. That’s completely normal, and they will be fine. However, they’re allowed to look at the totality of circumstances and this year the only reason your income went over the line becuase you had a bonus or you had a temporary second job or something and there is expectation that you can carry this amount of income into the future, then they can question that.

Similar situation here and we got case complete last week. 

 

We did a covering letter with 6 months of payslips. 

 

 

Covering letter:

 

NVC case# LND*******

Petitioner ******* earnings are higher in 2018 than
2017 enclosed within this document are 6 months of payslips
showing Current estimated individual income specified at Part6.
Section 7 of Form I-864
Estimated Current income calculation for 2018:
Year to date gross pay $*****.25 (9 Months)
$*****.35 ÷ 9 x 12 = $******.33

 

 

Thats what we did. Might not work for you but our i-864 passed

 

People say get a letter from the HR department but we didn't.

The instructions are pretty specific about what you MUST submit and what you MAY submit:  https://www.uscis.gov/sites/default/files/files/form/i-864instr.pdf

 

Personally, I would include supporting evidence of current income. "Item Number 7. Current Individual Annual Income. Type or print your current, individual, earned or retirement, annual income that you are using to meet the requirements of this affidavit and indicate the total in the space provided. You may include evidence supporting your claim about your expected income for the current year if you believe that submitting this evidence will help you establish ability to maintain sufficient income. You are not required to submit this evidence, however, unless specifically instructed to do so by a U.S. Government official. For example, you may include a recent letter from your employer, showing your employer’s address and telephone number, and indicating your annual salary. You may also provide pay stubs showing your income for the previous six months."

 

I am not an I-864 expert, but I do know that these forms are literal in nature as far as documentation requirements.  Good Luck.

So does annual income include social security, rental income, and IRA withdrawals, proven property ownership in Brazil?  My social security alone will not qualify for 125% of the poverty level.

Yes, include you worldwide income. The IRS wants to tax you on your worldwide income, so that's what you report.

Your current income is going to be considered, all u need to do is ask ur employer to write  a letter on company's letter head indicating your hourly wages and current gross income and submit the copy or the orignal one along with ur  i 864 , you ll be fine and good luck 😊
