    You seem to be totally confused.  A business owner does not yet know their total income for 2022.  It's only March.  A 2021 tax return is for 2020 income etc.

     

    You mention assets as if they are income.  They are not.  There is an asset section.  If the sponsor  has listed and documented assets, like savings accounts or mutual funds in that section, that's good, but you do not ADD them to the total income.  

    Let us help you but using actual terms and line numbers from the I-864 and tax return. 

     

    1.  What is the joint sponsor's household size?

    2. What is the total income listed on the total income line of the latest tax return?

    3. What are the total "liquid" assets listed and documented in the asset portion of the I-864.

     

    Example if income requirement is 30,000 and the total income is 15,000 there is a 15,000 income shortfall.  The sponsor would need at least $45,000 in liquid assets to cover the income shortfall for the spouse of a US Citizen, or $75,000 for any other immigrant.

     

    Assets don't count as income.  3X for a spouse or 5X for other immigrant.

    *Yes but since my interview is near his 2022 income seems above the guidelines based on his bank statements so ihave to put the number of his current income on the i864.

     

    * I saw in his 1120S a line with TOTAL ASSETS END : 30k so this his assets ?

     

    1- 5 inculding me 

    2- 2020 tax return total income is 42k

    3- i did not use the asset from his 2020 1120s cuz he maded 42k which is enough cuz the hhs was 38k thi why i got DQ

    Total income (not adjusted income even though those numbers are often the same) from the 1040.  

     

    Total receipts are usually far more than the actual "income".  Receipts are revenue not "income".  A business owner's income is the profit after paying their expenses.  If one owns a grocery store, for example, their gross receipts could be close to 100 times their profit or "income".

     

    From what you are saying, your joint sponsor no longer qualifies based on total income from his most recent tax return.  If you listed sufficient liquid assets, he may still qualify.

    My joint sponsor income listed on his 2021 Tax return transcript is below the proverty guidelines but his income listed on his 2020 Tax return transcript is above the proverty guidelines ( which i used to got DQ) , his 2022 current income is above the  proverty guidelines.

     

    My question could i use the Total Assets End listed on his 2021 Tax transcipts 1120s on the new I864 ( before my interview ) to add it to his 2021 income listed on his tax transcripts to meet the requirement since its below ?

    not for the business

    it is for his personal income 

    his Gross Receipts from his 1120s : 246k ( which what he is earns from his business) so this is from he get his money

    His AGI from his 1040 : 42k ( which he get after all the deductions etc)

     

    so which one it will be used for the NVC ?

    IRS transcripts are the best 

     

    On page 9 of the I 864 instructions it says and that is all i can find about AGI

     

    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.

    Thanks for your reply but :

     

    My question which amount the USCIS will uses to qualify my Joint Sponsor ? the one on the 1120S or the one on the 1040 ?

  5. Hello

     

    My joint Sponsor is a business owner , he uses his 1120s and 1040

     

    Pic 1 : his Gross Receipts from his 1120s : 246k ( which what he is earns from his business)

    Pic 2 : His AGI from his 1040 : 42k ( which he get after all the deductions etc)

     

    My question which amount the USCIS will uses to qualify my Joint Sponsor ? the one on the 1120S or the one on the 1040 ?

    I read on uscis page on Reddit that since 2021 taxes are due in April . Filing you affidavit of support right now you only need to provide 2020 2019 2018 tax transcript since 2021 is not due yet. Is that right??

    You can have your 2021 IRS transcripts online throught their website , I check it today 2021 the transcripts are available

    I-864 instructions allow it, so we did this at the NVC stage in February of 2019.  I was the primary (and only) sponsor and had filed a 4868 for an extension to October 2019 for the 2018 tax return.  See below for how it was explained on the I-864.  Everything was accepted by the NVC and the interview scheduled and visa (CR-1) approved in June of 2019.  It may work for you too, depending on the totality of the circumstances and the discretion of the CO.  Proof of sufficient current income for primary and any joint sponsors is the most important, so 6 months of recent pay stubs and a letter confirming current income from the employer is very good evidence of that.  Good luck!

    Very great yes i submitted the paystubs and employement letter for my wife you think i will do it again before the interview ? i will do  the form 4898 will be the xay for me ?

    no  they will wait for his actual tax return transcripts  /  a 4868 is not proof of his income / it shows an estimated tax liability but not current income

    immigration wants to see  the current income

    I would expect the CO to put your case in AP while waiting for both you and joint sponsor the submit the new I 864 and 2021 tax transcripts 

    CEAC site will say refused till these are produced and a decision can be made

     since My joint sponsor will have an extension for his 2021 taxes , can i use the form IRS 4868 AND a write a signed statement indicate the extension fill + the previous IRS transcripts 2020 as proof , do you think the CO will accepet it  and ofc i will submit the new i864 before the interview date?

    you will be OK at the NVC stage with the 2020 documents, but the Consulate might ask for the 2021 tax documents if the interview is past April 18

    you might also get reviewed quicker than you think, so keep tight and hope for the best

    Thanks alot for your reply , i hope so and yes i know the CO will ask for the 2021 things , but let me ask you something since My joint sponsor will have an extension for his 2021 taxes , can i use the form IRS 4868 AND a write a signed statement indicate the extension fill + the previous IRS transcripts 2020 as proof , do you think the CO will accepet it ?

    Hello

     

    I had to resubmit my joint sponsor W2 the Feb 09 so we will have our new review by the coming May ; all the AOS and docs were accpeted and since the new updated I864 will be used since the April 07 do you guys think that NVC will ask me to resubmit the new edit I864 ( and another waiting time to get reviewed again ) or my case will be transferred to US embassy with the done accepted I864 ?

     

    Thanks

    not if NVC  has asked for the copies of his W2 ,   1099 for his business and 1099R (in case he gets any retirement)

     

    If they don't ask,  it's not needed

    but if they ask,  then NVC wants these things

     

    And it appears this was asked for and received in 10/20 / that would be for prior years taxes like for 2019 as 2020 was not yet done

    NVC is obviously looking for 2020 (and if the case goes to interview after 4/15/22 then 2021 returns)

    the income must be from most current year which is now 2020 tax returns

    This one is Tax transcripts 2020 , my jp have no 1099 or w2 only form 1040 / 1020s cuz he won a S corp so nvc will ask for more docs than this ?

  13. 3 minutes ago, JeanneAdil said:

    It would appear the source of income is unclear to NVC

     

    a 1099 would be from a source that paid someone for services meaning the 1099 would be a business income and not the petition's income due  to deductions of the amount for business related expenses 

    a 1099 R is for retirement and Non taxableand may not be found on adjusted gross income line (in many cases) and immigration allows a percentage to be used for support of the affadivit

     

    Best advice:

    any time immigration whether it be USCIS,  NVC or the embassy asks for proof of any kind ,   comply and send it 

    as the case goes no further till they get what they ask for

     

    keep copies of all things sent to immigration

     

    and when sending (even though your name is on the W2 , etc)

    put your case # ,  Both names and both up DOB's in the upper right hand corner (after u copy them to the 8 x 11 to scan to CEAC)

     

    "Ours is not to question why,  ours is to do or die" (  that is the petition to die)

    My joint sponsor is a business owner i sent this to NVC ? Is that enough or not ?

    Short recap.  Your financial sponsorship documents are marginal.  If possible, get a stronger joint sponsor who is employed.  Meeting the minimum guarantees nothing.  You've incorrectly stated your spouse's current income.  She's employed, so current income comes from her pay stub, not her tax transcript.  Tax numbers used are Total income, not AGI.

     

    Note: Don't shoot the messenger.  We are not here to "give you hope".  We're here to help you be successful, not to give you answers you like.

    my current joint sponsor is above the minimum with +4k

    my wife current i,ncome is weekly gross 500 $ *52 = 26k

    Note : i know very well yare not here to give hope , im not here for the hope , i gave details and im seeking for a good advices and ideas based from the details i provided

    Most cases I’ve seen like yours don’t get approved without a stronger joint sponsor.  That’s my anecdotal experience. 
     

    This doesn’t mean you shouldn’t try.  That’s a personal decision.  It only costs you money.  If you try and fail, you can try later and next time with a better track record of income.  
     

    In life, people ask others for advice and predictions and sometimes predictions are wrong. 
     

    If you come back months from now and tell me my prediction was wrong, that would be great.  It would also be useful data for others who follow in your footsteps.  
     

    Best wishes. 
     

     

    Bless you , you been very helpful

    All that said, it may well be you don't need a joint sponsor at all.  You mention her AGI from tax returns.  Unless she files the 1040EZ version, that's the wrong number.  Use "Total Income".  Note that sometimes total income and AGI are the same number but still it's Total Income that gets entered and evaluated.  Remember that tax returns are about the past.  Current income is King here.

    I Used her tax trascripts for her AGI which is 8k that isnt enough

    now she is making 26k as a current income

    1.  So what?  What is her current annual income?

    There is no way for anyone to tell you with complete assurance that you and/or your joint sponsor will satisfy the consular officer at the interview.  There are too many variables that we can't know about your and the joint sponsor's situations.  For example, you haven't said what your relationship is to the joint sponsor, merely that he is a "business owner".  We, therefore, cannot predict whether the officer will find him credible (i.e., that he would really provide financial assistance to you if needed).  If it's a close family member, maybe.  If it's a "friend", maybe not. 

     

    The best you can do is just gather the required supporting documents needed for you and the joint sponsor.  If the consular officer does not accept them, you will have a chance to provide additional information or told to find a new joint sponsor.

    The Joint sponsor is my wife's boss and family friend

    While there is a mixture of local staff and US staff, all adjudication decisions are made by an US citizen officer.  Local staff assists with the clerical side of the process, helps the US officers with understanding local/cultural issues, assists in interactions with host country government offices, provides language assistance when needed, etc.

     

    It was, BTW, a Russian decision to prohibit the employment of most local staff members, not the US saying we wouldn't hire them.  It is cost-prohibitive to send US citizens to fill all of the support positions -- plus, it would lose the valuable knowledge of the culture, language, etc., that the staff provides.

    I'm saying:

    Your's wife income of 26K is marginally higher than the required income of 22K. Technically you don't need a joint sponsor but sometimes yes they ask because it's marginally above.

     

    You have a joint sponsor but his income is also marginally above the requirement. 
     

    so it's a toss up.

    Yes you right but i added the joint sponsor to be safe as the CO can ask my wife tax transcript of 2020 /2019 which is very low than the requirement

  22. 2 minutes ago, JeanneAdil said:

    Make sure NVC has the information on a joint sponsor'

    if u plan to just take it to an interview ,  the CO probably will not look at the additional information

     

    seen this happen :

    someone has documents with him/her at interview and CO gives 221g asking for the same exact paperwork

     

    I think sometimes it makes a difference if the CO is an American and knows the real cost of living per area

    u are Wilson NC and that's a lot different than NYC or Miami or the states of Connecticut and California

     

    to be safe i use my wife and the joint sponsor and i submitted all the required docs , yes you totaly right Wilson NC us very cheap and different than any other places in THE US
