Joint sponsor questions

[Jfresh26 23]

I am the petitioner and my mom will be my joint sponsor for form i134. I live with my mom and dad. My questions are:

 

1. so when my mom fills out the i134, would her household size be 4? (My mom, myself, my fiancée, and my dad) or would it just be 3 and my dad not be included since he’s not a dependent of my mom? 
 

2. since my mom and dad file taxes jointly, does my dad need any tax documents to differentiate his earnings from my mom’s? If so, what would that tax document be? 
 

My mom will send me her:

- IRS tax transcript (recent year only)

- W2 (recent year only)

- Form 1040 (recent year only)

- Passport biopage

- Form i134

3. is there any other documents my mom needs to send me besides those listed above? 
 

My fiancée’s interview is coming up and we just want to do everything the right way the first time. Thank you in advance.

You don't need both the transcript and the w2/ 1040.  This is redundant.   Use only the transcript.   

 

You live with your parents but are you dependent on them?  Do they claim you on the return?  

 

When you say the interview is soon ?  How do you know?

Yes, they claim me on their taxes still. 

So would the joint sponsor household size be 4? 

 

and my dad doesn’t need to give like his own earning statement or anything? 
 

we got an expedited appointment, got an email for June 3rd is the interview.

Yes, 4

 

Congrats on the appointment,  your gonna be the envy or enemy of many people because of you good fortune. 

 

Transcript says it all unless for some reason you are trying to exclude your dad's income.  Chances are small that the i134 will even be asked for.

Thank you!!

 

im worried they might ask for extra years on the tax documents for me (beneficiary) because I’ve been living in PH since Dec 2019. So I’ve been unemployed all this time.

I filed 2020 taxes but it was for the stimulus check. 2019 is the most recent from when I was working.
