Help with sanity check on I-864 and required evidence?

[Jamie Solo 70]

Hey guys, sorry to make a post like this! But I'm a little confused on the way Americans do their taxes and the evidence they have and I'm also a little confused with the different I-864's so wanted to double check!

 

So basically, my spouse is doing a masters, lives with her parents and I'm just waiting for funds to  clear before submitting docs at NVC stage. So is this the right course?

 

Spouse - Submits form I-864 with IRS transcripts from last 3 years (even though she filed as 'abroad')?

 

Parents - Mother and Father both make enough money individually so first question is, do they both need to submit as sponsors? Or is it best to have both anyways?

 

Father - is employed and can provide IRS transcripts. Would W2's be required as well? And he would file I-864A?

 

Mother - is self-employed with her own business. Is IRS transcripts enough for her? And she would also file I-864A if they both sponsor?

 

Thanks in advance for the help!

your spouse has to fill out 864 and provide required documentation. Your co sponsor will as well. If they are married and file taxes jointly, their spouse will also have to complete the 864a. take 3 years tax transcripts and current paystubs for all parties. w2 not required if you print the transcripts.

If your spouse is combining income with her parents, these are the forms that will need to be completed:

• Your spouse - I-864
• both of her parents - I-864A

 

Her parents will be "household members", not "sponsors" in this case.  Additionally, on your spouse's I-864, her parents will count in her household size.
