Joint Sponsor

[C and M 6]

What forms should the joint sponsor provide to be uploaded to NVC? The I-864 and proof of citizenship... should the joint sponsor provide anything else?

That includes tax transcripts.

In addition to tax transcripts, it's important that the Joint Sponsor also shows proof of current income. We are planning on submitting our Joint Sponsor's pay stubs for the past 6 months, and a signed letter from his employer confirming the nature of his employment and salary etc.

Is it mandatory to show evidence of current income?

Yes..or proof of qualifying assets.....The evidence to show ability to support a new immigrant is based on proof of current/future  income.

Interesting, I'm looking at filing an I-864EZ and it says that evidence is not required for current income unless specifically asked by a government official. I guess differing I-864's have differing rules.

If you do not provide, they will ask.  That will delay visa issue at least a month.  Include a copy of your most recent pay stub as evidence of current income.  The same pay stub you used to calculate your current income, so they can do the same calculation.  Easy peasy stuff.  Why would you not want do that.

Clearly you would want to do that... Many would follow the instructions though.

If you want to strictly follow the instructions, there's no reason to ask about it. I advise based on both instructions and known best practices.  Make your own decision.
