My wife - petitioner/sponsor - is a US Citizen. Me - beneficiary/indented immigrant - I am on L1B but we both working for US employer, starting 2025. So we planned to add both incomes in. Good point with RFE adding time, I was just seeing my chances if it is possible to surpass adding joint sponsor.

Thank you for input! Do you think we should first try and submit this without the joint sponsor and possibly wait for either RFE or getting trough? I mean we are household of 2 with combine income more than 5 times bigger than poverty lines. So, to add more people on this would just be to show "stability" I guess.

Hello all! I am starting to look into filling form I-864 with my AOS this month. To give a little background, my wife submitted the I-130 petition a year ago when we lived in Europe. But between now and then, my work came and told me that they will sponsor my work visa (L1) to get to US quicker. Now that we are here in US already, I need to submit AOS. Now the problem are the supporting documents for I-864. My wife used to work in Europe with me for the past 3 years, and even though she submitted the Tax returns for each year here in US, those were basically pro-forma with all 0's as she was not making the amount, IRS requires to tax from abroad. Since we moved in January this year, she has no W-2's, and has those 1099's from previous years but with all 0's. She now has a job in US, but started in 2025, so all we can collect as proof of income for both me and her are paychecks (2 or 3 months), employment verifications and offer letters. Together we make well over poverty line, but we are worried that there might be issues with those tax papers being as they are. Also we have marked the Point 15 - Have you filed federal taxes in last 3 years as YES, and in points 16, we have put 2024 - $0, 2023- $0 and 2022 - $0 ; as her income in US at those years was $0 and she only started to receive income in US in 2025, which is far away from filing tax return. Not sure how to fill out those two points around taxes there as our situation is little tricky. Thank you!

Hello all! I have this problem in mind. While I was filling out a form 130a for me as a beneficiary I stumbled upon a physical address history question. For the most parts I was at one address but I was also in situation where I was living in one country in dorms during weekdays to attend my University courses, but over the weekends I would come home to my permanent address where I would work part-time. Also during COVID I was home but I also had my dorm room booked out. I found somewhere else that I should try to match my address history with employment but also the other address would match my education. These cities are an hour apart in EU, but they are both in different countries so technically I would "be in two places at the same time". How should I fill up this form so I don't create overlap but also I don't have to provide address change for every week I went home. Any ideas or someone with similar problem? Thank you all for help and I wish you smooth Visa Journey
