Hello,

I am currently living in the U.S. as a citizen, my husband is in the U.K. I've paid the fees for both the AOS and IV. 

I meet the criteria for the I-864EZ and I have decided to go ahead and submit all 3 past years transcripts. However, I'm trying to figure out what other supporting forms would be required or would help support this process.

According to "2019 HHS Poverty Guidelines for Affidavit of Support" on the USCIS website, I exceed the 125% with just me and my husband. We have no children together and I am currently living with my parents but am not claimed or do I claim anyone on my taxes except myself currently. 

 

I have a habit of feeling like things are never as simple as they seem and second guess myself!

Any help or suggestions to make this step go easier would be much appreciated! 

Thanks in advance!

Are you including supporting document to show evidence of sufficient CURRENT income?

I can use my previous paystubs, however I have extra income showing due to recently cashing out my vacation time before visiting my husband.

I figured out my annual by current pay and 40 hr/wk. Which also may vary with my work. 

 

I debated whether or not W-2's should be provided also

Okay, thank you very much. 

Should I go ahead and include my last 3-6 weeks paystubs also or just stick with 3 years transcripts and W-2's?

Include Everything.......leave no doubt in their minds that you have stable, sufficient, current/future income......
