You need to report prior years income on the form, no red flags, we put 0 and recent year was the bare minimum, nobody said anything and no co sponsor was required.
They might want to see 2019 taxes if the interview will be after April 15th 2020.
I was wondering if you could elaborate a little bit ? Did the officer question your beneficiary about that zero income or issued A.P.?

Hello everyone,
I am self employed in the process of filling out I- 864 for my wife and was wondering if someone could chime in with some helpful advice.
1- which I-864 should I use . ( I-864 or I- 864 EZ)
2- My income for 2018 is substantially higher than 2017,2016 ( almost nothing due to expenses and deductions) do I still need to report the income for 2017,2016 on 25a-c or just check I have filed taxes for the last 3 years and report 2018 only?
3- I am aware that I can send 2018 return transcript only, but will reported my 2017, 2016 income would that make a problem, raise a red flag, and will need a co- sponsor ?
4- will 2019 Taxes will be required if interview scheduled like mid April?
your assistance and input are greatly appreciated !!

I’m also applying after 10 years of being a permanent resident, also divorced and re-married but no IRS issues (filed every year on time, no money owed). My Interview is this Saturday, May 4th in Atlanta. I plan on bringing copies and originals of EVERY document attached to the online application. Also hoping for more luck on a Saturday as I hear that IOs are more laid back on those days.
Please let me know how it goes.

Good luck. Yeah, I have always filed on time no issues in the past years. I had to file late in 2018 only to be able to sponsor my wife.

Hi there,
Wow I’m so sorry that you had a bad experience! Made me really worried about my upcoming interview (5/9 in ATL)..
Have you heard something since then?
Do you have a lawyer?
Have you filed N-400 basd on marriage, but you have divorced? Sorry trying to understand the situation..
Do you think that traveling outside the US after filing N-400 was the issue or the taxes?
I sure hope and pray for good results in the nearest future... 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
I received a letter asking for divorce decree( however, I have included that with my app), my marriage certificate ( got married again), payment agreement setup with IRS( don’t know how to show that if I have only filed late April ).
I don’t have a lawyer. I have a unique situation, I have never thought about applying to citizenship ( been resident already for 10 years) maybe I am the only one here with this situation ( everyone else files within 3 years married or 5 if not).
All I can say that, this center is not the best in giving you immediate approval upon finishing your interview( this is the vibe I got from the IO) This just my 2 cents.

Hello Everyone,
I had a terrible experience today at Atlanta field office and need some insight. Here is how did it go; I checked in , got a ticket number, called my number, asked me if I have went outside the states after filing N400. I said yes for a month. Took my GC, fingerprint of both indexes, gave me my paper back and told me to have a seat. I got called again to a different window to take ONLY my civics and English test. IO was very nice told me I passed, congratulations, and then directed me to the 3rd floor. I go to that floor and wait for my number with another IO to conduct my interview. I went in, made me swear, asked name, BOD, country of citizenship, SSN.
She Went over yes and no , and surprisingly, some questions didn’t have answers, so she checked yes and no. Asked me about citation, I said yes so she had to change that, asked me specifics about it, where, when, city and outcome. I read of my MVR , asked about how much were the fines, grabbed my MVR and took it. Here is the funny part, asked about my divorce decree even though I provided a copy online, she asked I need a yes or no . I said no I don’t have it because I sent it in to petition my wife .i don’t think she paid attention to what I said anyway. She asked if I owe taxes. I was going to explain something, she cuts me off saying I just need a yes or no. I said well, I filed an extension back then but I owe taxes, she asked how much and if I have a payment plan. I said not yet because I filed a week ago and have been busy with work and school. She didn’t ask for selective service document although, it was listed as part of the required documents.
She corrected some information about taxes, citations, and asked me to check if everything was ok. I said know because she had some misspelling going on, she fixed it and I signed. She said well, we are done for today. I need to make some copies of your GC and passport and you can go. She gave me only N652 showing I have passed the test but a decision can’t be made. She mentioned I will send you something in the mail and we will go from there.
At this point, I didn’t feel to ask her anything really because every time I try to explain or mention something , she will just say I need a yes or no.
I don’t know what to expect at this point!
Any constructive feedback or input is greatly appreciated!

Hi there,
On the afternoon of April 4th, I got a text message that an action was taken on my case! Finally Interview was scheduled!!! And the very next day I got an email (early morning) about an action was taken on my case, this time the letter was visible on my account!
My interview is on May 9th 2019 (Atlanta)
Can someone please update my info?😊
Congratulations, and best of luck on your interview.

@WBFDO I think you made mistakes in updating the table. You had earlier mentioned that you were in line (or got the interview letter; could you confirm which one?) on March 18 and NOT March 28 (which hasn't arrived yet). Also your interview is on April 25, not that you received the letter on April 25. Kindly have a look at the table again.
I filed from Atlanta too and I did my fingerprints exactly one week after you did. I am wondering whether I am next in receiving notification about the interview. Thank you for updating us about your situation.
I apologize if I made any mistakes. That was not my intention, and I asked if someone could update my case. Again, I have received notification on March 18th and letter was available on the same day around 6 pm. My interview is on April 25th. Can someone update my case please.

Hi again,
Quick Question, did you get an email notification that your status has been changed? Or you logged in and saw that by chance?
Thank you!
Rere
I got an email saying that we have taken action on your case. When I logged in I was able to see that my interview has been scheduled. However, I was not able to see the letter on my document tab until 6PM same day.

Anyone have any idea or how long it takes for the interview letter to show under documents. I believe they have taken an action yesterday, but I didn’t get a notification until this morning.

I used to have the completion time same as you December 2019, but It changed to this message today! So confusing!
I just checked my account, and mine has changed as well. I don’t know what’s going on. They went back to October 2016

“We are taking longer than expected to process your case. You do not need to do anything at this time.”
~~ Frustrating ~~
Yes, I am getting this sporadically . Good luck if you’re in GA. At this point, I really don’t know what to think, because the portal says that my case completion date is December 2019. Yet, they are still processing October 2017.

use your tax transcripts which will include all sources of income.
If your income is not at 120% (needs to be 125% for AOS) then you need a joint sponsor.
No you can not use the equity in your primary residence. If you have other properties you can use those if it is something that could be liquidated within 1 year.
Yes. I understand that IRS transcripts will furnish that information but should I use AGI or total income in my case( combined income from W2 and business profit, I am self employed)
can you explain why can’t use the value of my primary residence as an asset. Per I864 instructions, I can use any assets but not cars. There is no specification on whether it is primary residence. I am not arguing just trying to understand.
-
Greetings everyone,
I am trying to understand what income should I report on I864 , I receive 1099 from as independent contractor. I have being self employed since the end of 2016. I did file schedule C for 2016 and 2017. However, I am going to amend my 2017 since my CPA advised me to my get on salary to generate W2 from my company and also will receive profit from my company after deducting expenses, mileages, ect. I understand that I will have 2 incomes from W2 and business as well.
*Which I864 should I file( I864, I864EZ) ?
*which income should I report (W2 income and business profit from K 1 form ) .
*If I try to amend my 2017 taxes, because income is below poverty line and owe taxes ( will be paid via installment plan) will it make me ineligible for sponsoring?
* if my income end up short a few grands, can I use any equity I have in my house even if I still owe and pay mortgage on it?
Well Informative input is appreciated immensely.

Just checking in .. I’m still waiting for an interview (Atlanta, GA) .... it seems like it’ll be a looong wait! 😕
Btw, I kinda regret not filling online, would it have been faster if I did or no difference??
It doesn’t make a big difference. I filed online and mo interview has been scheduled yet.

Hi,
What was your estimated wait time and case completion. I know your petition is assigned to different field office than mine , but I am trying to see if the time range posted on USCIS actually make sense or if you’re case is just an outlier.

Self employed I-864 income last 3 years
in IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures
Posted · Edited by WBFDO
Would that zero to minus income for last two years could potentially hurt my beneficiary chances even if my 2018 income meets the %125 requirements?
