The consular at the Embassy requested that I fill another form I-864 Affidavit of support to show my high income

I’m new to this page. Please so my spouse finished his visa interview and was told by the consular that it’s approved but he needs to let me know to fill out a new Form I-864 to reflect my new income since my income has doubled since my last tax year. He submitted my paystubs dating all the way back to April. what I am not sure is how do I record that in the tax year and total income? I was thinking of using the YTD( year to date) from my income details to fill that section. Or do I just fill the current income and leave that section blank. Oh and the have my previous affidavit with last year and the years before income.

Current annual income and tax information may be listed under the same section of the I-864, but they are not necessarily related. Current income is determined by pays stubs, employer letters, etc.and represents what an individual expects to gain during the current year.   The I-864 asks for current annual income, not YTD income. Current income is NOT determined by past tax returns since they reflect past income.  

Normally, you could use YTD income to calculate the expected annual income figure.

 

Current annual income = expected income for current 12 month period (January -December)

Thank you missileman. I calculated the annual income by combining the ytd pay plus the expected pay for the remainder of the year. 

Also as far as the 3 years tax years and total being asked in part 6 of number 24, should I use the YTD + the expected date in the number 24a. Since 2018 tax return are not due to be filed yet. Yet the consular wants me to show it? 

So I decided to say no to question 23a that asked if I have filed a federal income tax for the three most recent years.

And then I used the YTD + Anticipated pay for the current annual income and the 2018 Tax year Total income, followed by my 2017 and 2016. 

After that I added an official letter to the signed for to explain that I filled out the first affidavit of support with my 2017, 16,15 Tax year but the consular at the Embassy requested I filled another one since my income has dramatically increased from what she sees on my paystub. So I filled the form this way to satisfy their request.
