Hi ,

Thanks for your response. I was thinking about that. Since our 2019 tax transcript will show that we did joint tax return for 2019 and it doesn't breakdown by her and my income, so i though they would want to know that she was aware of it as her tax transcript is being used. Although I can get a letter from my employer showing my yearly salary, I just don't want to take the risk of getting an RFE. Multiple posts on this website suggests that my wife should fill out I-864A

Hi,

I hope you all are doing well.

My mother is petitioner for my brother, and she has zero income. I am sponsoring my brother as Joint sponsor.  I filed joint tax return with my wife for  2019. My wife has zero income. I have sufficient income

So, my mom will fill out I-864, I will fill out I-864 and my wife will fill out I-864A. I had few questions regarding these forms. I am hoping that your experience with these forms will help my situation.

My I-864

For part 1 question 1, should I select 1.d ( only joint sponsor) or 1.e? I believe I should select 1.d since I am the main joint sponsor (even though my wife is filling out I-864A) . 

For part 6, question 8,10, I believe should include my wife’s name and show zero income?

My Mom’s I-864

Since she had zero income, I guess I should just write an statement saying why was not required to file any tax returns?

My wife's I-864A

She came to USA in 2019. So we filed joint tax return for 2019 even though her income was zero. I believe  information that goes in for 2019 tax returns will be identical for me and her forms? For 2018 and 2017, I plan to write N/A in here forms as she wasn't here in USA in those years.

I am trying to fill out DS-260 for my wife. How do you think we should enter LinkedIn ID on DS-260? Linkedin doesn't have userid like twitter or facebook. Lets say linkedin profile url is www.linkedin.com/in/john.doe. If you search linkedin by using john.doe, then you actually won't be able to locate the user.  I tried copying and pasting the URL, then everything in url gets written in Capital letter when you copy and paste the link. Should i just include Screen name ( Linkedin Profile Name).  Little confused. Let me know if anyone has any experience with this
