I filled out I-864 today. I understood that you used the '"Adjusted gross Income" number IF you are referring to a 1040 EZ form. If you are using a regular 1040 (as I am) you should use your total income figure ( see line 7 on your form ), not the adjusted gross income figure at the bottom of the form.

Thanks. Do you know if I can mail the packages prior to paying IV fee and filing DS-260?

I will let the people with more knowledge correct me if am wrong.

 

The way you have it filled out is correct;

Part 6. Question 2. Is asking for the Sponsors (ONLY) income. In which case you put down your own. And since you are above the Poverty level it is fine.

 

Part 6 Question 19 You will put the total income shown on your tax transcripts 1040 as you have stated you did. 

 

Just out of curiosity when you file your taxes there is a line on the 1040 that shows your husband's total income and your total income separately. Does it reflect 60,000 for your total income? 

Hi donddon,

Thanks for the answer. I am not sure which line that shows our income separately. Can you show me the line number please? I just see line 22 Total income which shows our combined income. Thanks.

Thanks for all the answers. I do not want to use his income because I think it is not necessary. By the way, can anyone answer if I file the form correctly for part 6 and the supporting evidences are adequate? 

Thank you so much

Hello everyone,

I am sponsoring my mom. I file tax jointly with my husband. My income alone is qualified to sponsor my mom so I do not want to use my husband's income. Please correct me if I am wrong in filing.

- Part 6 question 2: My current individual income: I put $60,000. It is my income shown on my W-2 of 2016. My job is casino dealer so it is not correct if I use the bi-weekly pay multiply by 26. Is it acceptable to use the above amount?

- Part 6 question 19: Total income: I put $170,000. It is our combined income shown on our 1040 of 2016.

I will include my W-2, my pay stubs, and a letter explain the detailed separate income. Is it enough? Is it a must that my husband has to file I-864A although I dont need the joint sponsor? 

Thank you for your help.

Hello everyone,

My case is IR5. I filled DS-261 on 4/21, and paid AOS fee on 4/24. I read that I can mail the AOS and IV packages to NVC prior to paying IV fee and filling in DS-260. Is that correct? Please advise. 

I filed tax jointly with my husband. My income alone is qualified. I know I need to submit my W2 along with 1040 and pay stubs to prove my income. I would like to ask if I fill I-864 correctly. For Part 6, question 2 "My current individual annual income", I will answer my income. Question 19a, Total Income will be our adjusted gross income listed on 1040. Am I right on both?

Thank you for your help.

Congrats to all who have become citizens and good luck to those awaiting the interview.

We are still waiting for an inline notification, we have been waiting since 3/7 which is now 3 months 15 days. We called at the end of April and were told by the tier 1 rep that we would have to wait until 7/12 because our field office is still under 5 months time. Anyone else still waiting for the inline notification?

I submitted at Dallas Lockbox, had fingerprinted on March 9 and still waiting for In Line. I called them on June 8 but they told me the same, still under normal time frame. I'll try to call on July 12 as well.

Hi all,

My Green Card dated 04/23/2013, and I file under 3 years. I live in Dallas, TX and my field office is Dallas. I submitted on 02/12, and had fingerprint on 03/09. Until now I have no new update. I called them on 06/08 and they just said "within time frame"? What can I do or do you know the reason for the delay in my case?

Thank you

I submitted the application at Dallas Lockbox in 02/12/2016. My green card dated 04/26/2013. I had fingerprint on 03/09 and still no new update. The status is still Case was received. Do you know what is the normal time frame from Fingerprint to Interview? When should I contact them to ask about my case?

Thank you

Hi Jimmy,

My current name is Van T Nguyen

My husband's name is Sam Smith

On our marriage certificate, I keep my maiden name since it was issued in Vietnam. I request to change my name to Van Nguyen Smith on N-400 form. Do I need the judicial ceremony? If not, is the naturalization certificate issued with my new requested name? I live in Dallas, TX.

Thanks for your help.
