Ok, got it. So if your father sent in the I-864, he has to submit proof of his current income. So that would be a letter of employment or the most recent paystubs (you can send the most recent stub, if it has the YTD amount).

If you can send both, even better, but it really can be one or the other since some employers take time to give an employment letter.

He also has to send the full tax return or transcript for 2013. He has to include a copy of his w2 or 1099's as well to prove his income for last year. All of this I mentioned proves your father's income so that they won't require an I-864A for anyone else.

As for the the I-864 that he filled out, did he list everyone in the appropriate boxes?

Meaning in part 5 of the form, no. 1 should be "1" for your spouse, no 3 should be "1" for your mom, no 4 should be "2" for your siblings, no 5 should be "1" for you if he claimed you as a dependent in 2013 otherwise it should be blank, no 6 should be empty unless your father has sponsored others before, no 7 should be blank, and no 8 should be "6", or "5" if he didn't claim you in 2013.

Do you still have a copy of his I-864, was the household size in part 5, filled out how I explained?

As for your I-864, you would only list yourself and your wife in part 5, so only enter "1" in no. 1, yourself is already there, and leave all the others blank, no 8. should be "2". You have to write the letter explaining why you didn't file taxes, as I mentioned earlier.

Again, make sure that your dad's I-864 was filled out how I explained and that you submit the docs I mentioned otherwise they will continue to ask for an I-864A and/or ask for more evidence.

If your dad's I-864 wasn't filled out how I explained, then he would have to submit a new one. It would have been much easier if you had done the I-864 for yourself and the I-864A for your dad.

If you discover that your dad's I-864 was improperly filled out, then you could do an I-864 for yourself and the I-864A for your dad along with the required evidence.

If it was properly filled out then you would just need your I-864 and the other docs that I mentioned that you didn't submit (ie 2013 taxes, letter of employment/paystubs, letter of not filing taxes, etc).

ok thank you so much i rlly rlly appreciat the time you spent to help me out again THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!!!!

Ok but was the I-864 that you sent for yourself or for your father?

My father

Ok $50k is over the poverty level, so as long as he is currently making that, he can be your sponsor.

You didn't send an I-864 or your father didn't send the I-864? Even though you didn't file taxes or work, you are still required to submit an I-864 because you are the petitioner. You would fill it out as unemployed with zero for the income, unless you have some other income that's not from work.

As part of your I-864, you have to write a simple letter, that states you didn't file taxes for such and such years because you didn't work for such and such years and that you were a dependent on your father's taxes.

If you submitted an I-864 already, make sure that you filled it out by including only you and your spouse for your household size, no one else. If you included your siblings part of your household size, then you would need to send a new I-864.

Could you tell me for whom the I-864 you sent was, for you or your dad? If it was for you, did you include only yourself and your wife?

its for my husband n well other ppl told that since i disnt have income that my dad had to send it for us so we messed up the form real bad

It's ok, we'll help you figure it out.

Ok so let's break things down.

It's you, your parents, and your two siblings. Plus your spouse, that makes a household of 6. According to this year's poverty levels, your dad should be making at least $39,962 in order to qualify as a sponsor, he has to make this on his own since no one else in your household has income, including you.

It doesn't matter if he didn't make that amount last year, but does he make that amount currently?

Also how many I-864's did you fill out, one or two?

Did he send proof of current income? If so, what did he send as proof and from what date was it?

Did he send his tax returns or tax transcripts? If so for which years?

Did you send a letter explaining why you didn't file taxes for the previous 3 years?

Please answer the above questions to help you further. Thanks.

He made $50,239 we sent one im filing the second one no he didnt send a pay stubs the ones were sending now is current he sent the tax returns n transcrips for yrs 2011 n 2012 not 2013 n i didnt kno i had to send a letter wrting that

It really would help if you gave the whole story, so that we can get a better picture of your situation. Can you answer exactly who lives with you, how many, whether any are minors, and who is married and who has income? This would help give us a clearer picture of your household to better give you advice.

It doesn't matter if you didn't file taxes, because you were a dependent of your father. However, since you are petitioning a spouse, you still have to file an I-864 for yourself. Also I'm not sure how your father was able to claim you as a dependent if you are married.

I'm not sure if that's what they want, it may be better to file it that way to avoid confusion. Also if your mom doesn't work and your dad is the only one with income, he has to send proof that the income is his only. So he would need a W2 and current proof of employment to prove his income.

He sent the w2 for 2011 2012 but he forgot to send 2013 n the proof of employment if we send them now n not the I864A would they accept it

I think I see the problem. If you are a dependent of your father, I don't think you can file an I-864A in addition to your own I-864. I think what they may be requiring is that you fill out an I-864 and have your father fill out an I-864A.

I understand but I never filed taxes or worked in this country I went to school in turkey right after highschool

Your father is the only one that works and has an income? Did you and your father both fill out your own I-864 forms? Is he married and files jointly? They may want an I-864A from his spouse, if that is the case. It is hard to tell what they want because you have not really provided all the details of what you already sent, and how what you sent was filled out.

Also, everyone you live with is not necessarily in your household count.

How to count household size >

Your household size includes yourself and the following individuals, no matter where they live: any spouse, any dependent children under the age of 21, any other dependents listed on your most recent Federal income tax return, all persons being sponsored in this affidavit of support, and any immigrants previously sponsored with a Form I-864 or Form I-864 EZ

Yes he files jointly maybe thats why they needed it but my mom doesnt work

It sounds like you included your household members as part of your I-864 or your dad's I-864. They don't need the I-864A's if they don't have income/assets to use. Could you elaborate a little bit more as to how you filled out your forms and who you included?

Where it wrote do u have dependent children under 21 it said in instructions we only put my siblings n where it wrote any other dependent I put mysef cuz im in my fathers taxs returns

Did you guys not have the option to print the confirmation page, in addition to the email option?

This is how it was for DS 160 and I'm assuming underlying programs are similar.

Yes did but when i press email or print it didnt work
