Hey all, 

 

I'm a F-1 student currently on OPT with OPT extension still pending. I got married to a US citizen back in May and have been gathering documents myself for the AOS application. I stumble upon Form I-864 and have questions:

 

- My spouse doesn't earn enough so I (the intending immigrant & spouse) will also use my income. On Form I-864 Pg.4 (Part 6 Item 10) it says "current income" so does that mean my current gross income (50k) or my adjusted gross income (45k)?

 

- My employer gave me an Employment Verification Letter and in that letter it says "Her annual salary is 55k..." Is it going to confuse USCIS if I end up putting the AGI of 45k in Form I-864 Pg. 6 (Part 6 Item 10)?

Current income is what your expected income is, not from the tax return. So 55k is the one for you. For your income to be accepted, you will also need a statement from your employer mentioning your employment with at least the current annual income will continue after you get the GC.

Sorry i made a typo. I meant the letter says "Her annual income is 50k..." (Not 55k). So i should use that gross income (50k) before any taxes/ deductions? After taxes & deductions it will be 45k

Make sure you have the following otherwise your income won't be accepted by the uscis.
