Hi everyone, I have a questions in my mind. I am(US citizen) petitioning for my husband. So far, I have only received my NOA1 and waiting for NOA2. while waiting I am searching what will I need for the next step. My questions are about the financial status. I live in usa for 6 years by myself alone and I was a full time student for 5 years. Meaning that I was not able to make enough money to meet requirement for affidavit support. I was wondering;

1) How many years of tax return required. Some sources say only most recent year and some says last 3 years ?
2) Are the grants (financial aid) that I receive from my university considered as a taxable income? 
3) Are there any exception for students who can prove that they were full time students past 3-5 years?
4) Is it acceptable if I or my husband can prove individually that we have the minimum income requirement in our bank accounts?

any help would be appreciated. Thank you in advance and good luck everyone!!

Start by studying both the I-864 form, AND become an A-Student of the I-864 instructions.  Download them both.  THEN, ask the questions that remain.

 

1) Information from three tax returns is required, if you were required to file those returns, but only one, the most recent tax return is required to be submitted with the affidavit.

 

2) No

 

3) No.  If your current income does not qualify you, then you can find a qualified joint sponsor.

 

4) No.  You would need to show you have three times the income requirement and that it has been IN those accounts (or some amount similar to it) for at least several months.  ( Actually 3 times the income shortfall, not 3 times the requirement.)
