US Immigration from Poland

Hi,

The joint sponsor that's helping me, has a current individual income of about $40k, when the requirement is $34k, and that's all from combining actually three income sources - 2 employments and one self employment. Her spouse has a pension and a company that's making quite high profit, but we currently went the the way of not using his income, since it's more difficult to prove income from a company. To increase these $40k of the joint sponsor, can we use only her spouse's retirement income and not bother with proving the income that's coming from the business? What also bothers me is whether it won't be a problem that the joint's sponsor income is that much divided, it's not a single employment, like most cases, but three sources of income for total of $40k plus some cash jobs, that I guess, we are unable to use, since it's hard to prove it.

There is also a bank account they have joint sponsorship in, and there are like few hundred thousand on it, so maybe it would be safer to use joint sponsor's provable income of $40k plus take the bank account and divide the amount by 2 and use it as the asset?

It's also possible, that she wasn't making it above the threshold for all the last three years, so this also could be a problem, I pressume?

I'm stuck at part 4 question 5. Is USA the only answer that is not going to cause a rejection for the form? I'm going to show proof of intent to reestablish the US domicile, but my current domicile is a different country. According to the instructions, they ask about the country where you plan to reside in the foreeseable future, so since I'm going to be in the US in the next few months, then I'm kinda confused what should be the answer here

I keep hearing advice to contact your senator and/or congressperson but has doing that actually helped anyone here?

I reached out to my congressperson and filled out the forms, talked to their contact on the phone and then never heard anything again. I emailed them three times, the last time just this week and they never responded at all.

So that s my question, did doing this make a difference for you? If so please let us know here.

thanks!

Hi guys,

I'm close to sending a complete AOS package to the NVC and was wondering what should I do in regards to my tax returns. I'm an expat, so all the income I had in the last few years was non-US based, thus I assume that everywhere in I-864, when asked for income(current annual individual income, last three years incomes) I should put 0? If so, then there are two questions I have

1. I know I'm supposed to attach tax return/transcript. I can't get tax transcript because I have no proof of residency in the US, so I'm left with tax return. In my 2021 tax return I have total income around $20k, but I'm supposed to write $0 in the I-864, since it has to be only US based income on this form? Won't there be a problem that numbers on attached I-864 don't match the numbers entered into the I-864?

2. As for W-2 and 1099, all I have to do is to add a statement to CEAC that I don't have them, since I didn't work in the US? I've seen many people getting RFE for not mentioning that on their applications.

3. I'm using external services(Expat Tax Online) to file my tax returns, and for the last year I got from the an almost 50 pages package with my 1040 and few other forms that are necessary for expat filing(1116, 2555, FBAR, IRS e-file Signature Authorization, etc.) Can I upload all of that together or do I need to extract only 1040 from that package?

Hi I m wondering are people getting K1 interviews in a timely fashion (I know that s a laugh) or are they being pushed down in priority due to processing Ukraine visas?

thanks.
