The topic has not been continued for a while, although I will try to refresh discussion.

My concern is again about point #19 on the I-864 form...

On the form it says:

I have filed a Federal tax return for each of the three most recent tax years. I have attached the required photocopy or transcript of my Federal tax return for only the most recent tax year.

Above sentence make a problem to me. First part of it is NOT truth in my case, whereas second is true. Why did they change the law (that you need to provide only most recent tax return) if they still possibly asking about three years.

My case is as follows - I am only 25 years old and my employment time is more or less 1,5 year long. I have tax transcript for 2007 year (my income is above poverty line, even that I started working in the middle of the year) and I will be able to provide my pay stubs for the full 2008 year (I will enclose last six, I am again above poverty line). What is more, I read once that it happens that in case like me, NVC asks about joint sponsor claiming that my employment length does not provide enough confidence that I will be able to support my beneficiary.

Question is what I suppose to do to the sentence on the form? I can not check it and sign because part of it is not true, although I fulfill another necessary condition included in this sentence. I have a feeling that I can not leave it blank as well.

I couldn`t find answer to this doubt. I will appreciate any help in this matter. Long time ago I found on VJ (can not find now) somebody in similar situation. This person CROSSED word THREE in the I-864 form sentence and instead wrote word ONE by pen. In addition, he attached explanation on the separate piece of paper. It was accepted by NVC and his I-864 was approved. This is what I am planning to do for now. If somebody else have experience in this matter, or may be I am missing something, or maybe there is a better thing to do I will much appreciate any help.

Thank you and good luck for everybody.
