Hello,

I submitted my wife I 864 and she wasn’t making enough it was 17000.00 for her 1040 as an employee and She has a LLC( Sole proprietor) but it wasn’t making that much for the year 2017. This is why they requested a joint  sponsor and I have a new Joint sponsor. The new Joint sponsor is making 60000. per year for the last three year. I submitted thru my new lawyer all the 1040 forms, W2 and pay stubs for January and February 2019. I called USCIS and I was told that my EAD is being produced since March 13 2019. Thank you VJ for your care and support. I need your opinions. Sami

Terrific.  One reason you need that kind of professional help is that you are not fully fluent in English.  It makes communicating with you here, kind of difficult.

Good day and Thank you so much for your advice . I already hired TWO Americans Attorneys and I am trying to be aware about what they are doing . That has nothing to do with offending me for not being so fully fluent in English . You know America is an Immigrant country . I think I do speak English and doing my best. Thank you 🙏 😊

Usually when you get an RFE for the 864 the whole case is put on hold and the EAD is not issued. It seems like your EAD case was not put on hold so they issued you a EAD card.

 

I know you probably already replied to the RFE but I am confused about why the RFE mentioned schedule C?? If you are self employed you get paid typically on 1099 forms and not W2s. Is he both self employed and an employee somewhere? Did he file a schedule C? Is the entire 60k income shown on W2s?

I have a new Attorney yes but I am trying to know what’s going on . This is the second Attorney. Well you right I am doing my very best with your help and the visa journey also. 

I received an email yesterday that a new card is being produced (EAD) and I called USCIS and they said the same and will be mailed to my address!!! How they issue me a EAD while I still have RFE pending. Thank you pushbrk,.

Pay stubs for 2018 are not "CURRENT".  You need ONE pay stub that is current, like from March 2019.

Sorry my Attorney submitted January and February 2019 pay stubs.

Yes, and they want the affidavit of support, which instructs you to provide evidence of current income.  Just do it.

Thank you so much ,I have his pay stubs for 2018 and my lawyer submitted them .

2018 is NOT CURRENT.  If he lost his job January 15 or yesterday, his current income is ZERO.  Send the pay stub.  

Ok Sir I will try to ask him . If he can ? I am so confused.

Evidence of current income for the 2018 is W2.

Did they ask for "evidence of current income"?  Whether they did or not, the calculation comes from a pay stub.  Tax returns are about the past, not the present.  Calculate it from the pay stub and include the pay stub.  Just do it.  Not going to argue with you.

Sir I am not arguing.They ask for a joint sponsor to submit a complete copy for his tax return and all supporting documents (W2 and Form 1099 and tax schedule for the most recent tax year)

So the conclusion is he will submit 3 years with all the tax forms and W2 from his work. Without his wife submitting any forms. Will I go for it.

That would be an option, yes.  If employed, remember the current income comes from a current pay stub, not a tax return, BUT, you must report tax return income and include at least one tax return anyway.

W2 form and all 1040 complete . They did not ask for pay stub when I got my RFE.

This may be a mistake that delays a decision UNTIL the spouse DOES provide the I-864a.  For them to do so, is the best practice, although only "required" if the immigration officer asks for it at interview.

The joint sponsor is not in good term with his wife and he is making above 60000 alone in his W2. This year 2018 he filed on his own without his wife. Do you suggest if we submit only 2018 .Thank you so much.

Just for clarity, the tax return filed in 2018 is the 2017 tax return.  The 2018 tax return is filed in 2019.   It is unwise to assume the foreign spouse understands this.

 

If married filing jointly, individual income is just what it sounds like.  Household income combines the individual income.  If only one spouse earns money then there is nothing to "combine" but the joint sponsor's spouse should still provide an I-864a showing 0 individual income.  Household or tax return reported income will be the same for both spouses.

Thank you so much. The joint sponsor spouse will not provide 864A . The joint sponsor W2 is above 60000 on his own for the 2016 and 2017. The year 2018 he filed on his own and his W2 is 60000.

If you already have his 2018 tax return documents, then Line 6 from 2018 1040 will go to Part 6 item 7. Part 6 item 20 is just the summation of item 7 to item 19. 

 

Line 6 frm 2018 1040 will also go in Part 6 item 24a.

Line 22 from 2017 and 2016 1040 will go to Part 6 item 24b and c.

Thank you so much for your kindness Arken.

Individual income is income of only one person (sponsor), Part 6, item 7. Sometimes sponsor may combine his income with income from other people in the same  household, Part 6, item 8-19. In that case, sum of income of the sponsor and all people being used becomes the household income, item 20. Your joint sponsor’s income seems to be sufficient so it will be his only income used for i864. Part 6 item 7 and item 20 will be same in your joint  sponsor’s case.

Thank you so much Arken . Please . He filed 2016 and 2017 jointly and 2018 he filed on his own . ( he is married) which line in 1040 can I use for item 20 Part 6 and part 6 item 7,

I am so thankful.

Per I-864 Instructions, "For purposes of this affidavit, the line for Total Income on IRS Forms 1040 and 1040A will be considered when
determining income. For persons filing IRS Form 1040 EZ, the line for adjusted gross income will be considered."

 

On 1040 and 1040A, the Total Income is line 22. If you are using 1040 or 1040A, then your lawyer is wrong. You are correct. For 2018 1040, Total Income is line 6.

 

Thank you so much indeed . What about the house hold income and individual income please.
