Hey. For the Income for the last 3 years, you mentioned it would be line 9 on the 1040 which is “Total Income”. , however the I-864 explicitly states “Adjusted Gross Income” which is actually line 11 on the 1040 form. I think it should be the AGI?

I got an RFE on this form. What I didn’t realize originally was the form is broken and that the household size automatically says 1. I’ve gone through all my documents and can’t understand how anything is wrong except for that. It’s crazy how the USCIS can’t just tell you what was wrong they have to sent a 3 pages document saying one or more of these things is wrong with the form. If this is the problem first of all they should just say your household size isn’t accurate please redo or just fix their damn form on their government site.

Got married and had my sons abroad. I recently received my sons American passport through USA embassy last year and we also filled out form I130 for my husband and he received an email from USCIS, regarding him being approved but now we are in the process of NVC requirements. Now since i don't live and work in America and haven't filled out any tax form all these years, what proof s of income we should present in the affidavit of support. I am now the petitioner and sponsor in the form. I know this is a very rare case but I really appreciate it you let me know what information you have regarding our rare case. Thank you again for your informative channel and for your time.

If they stil counts but the joint sponsor didn't fill them into the form , does the USCIS have a way to know that he has children?

Hello! I know you already answered this question in the video but I can't help but ask it in person because two lawyers that I spoke two got me confused. Situation: I'm an legal permanent resident, currently filling out the I-864 to bring my wife to the US (she lives abroad). I am self-employed (I have a 1099 contract as a web developer, and I have all the needed evidence to prove that). I am NOT filling out the I-864A or I-864EZ, simply the I-864. I do have the tax return statements of the last 3 years. Question: When entering the total income for the last 3 years, should I take the line that says "total income" or "adjusted gross income"? Everything suggests that it should be former but for whatever reason two lawyers that I spoke two said that I should use "adjusted gross income". I am relying on your feedback because your channel played a HUGE part in helping me and my wife successfully filling out the I-130 2 years ago which got accepted without any issues whatsoever. Thanks for all your efforts.

Hello, I live with my wife and 2 kids in the same house. I am a US citizen and I am applying for both mom and dad's Green Card. I have already paid for Affidavit of support fee and currently filling out I-864 ( affidavit of support documents and financial evidence). I primarily take care of my 2 kids, hence I only make around 3k per year. However my wife makes enough to sponsor both my parents. So, my questions are: I am the main sponsor/petitioner so I have to file I-864 FORM for both mom and dad even though I don't make enough money right ? I have to add my wife as Household Member and fill out I-864A form for both my mom and dad right ? Do I need to fill out any other forms or provide other documents? PLEASE LMK If someone else have gone through similar situation in the past or present, I currently am, please provide some info. Thanks a bunch.
Ксения, здравствуйте! Мы с мужем сегодня консультировались с адвокатом. Он сказал, что в пункте 24 а-с нужно указывать Adjusted gross income, инструкция на сайте не уточняет это. Он уже сделал более 1000 кейсов и никогда это вопросов у USCIS не вызывало. Посмотрела видео других адвокатов на KZitem, они также говорят в п. 24 - gross adjusted income. В вашем видео вы говорите, что это ошибка. У вас был опыт, что adjusted gross income в форме I-864 вызывал вопросы у USCIS?

Hi, my husband received an RFE for I-864 saying that they couldn’t determine if the petitioning sponsor is qualified. That if needed we could use a co sponsor which we did! We sent 3 years of the co sponsor’s tax records and w-2’s. It was a lot of paper. And he makes 81,000, is married and has 2 kids. Hasn’t co sponsored anyone else and no other dependents. He files taxes separate from his wife and she claims their kids as dependents. Should he still count her and their kids in this form? We did, we total 5, him, wife, 2 kids and my husband who he’s sponsoring. This time we’re thinking on just sending the last year of tax returns and w-2. Do you think we should send I-864 for the petitioner again as well? He’s our son, 21. He filed taxes for 2022 and 2020 but not 2021, he was required to file but didn’t. Is that a problem? What should we answer where it says if he was required to file or not? This form I complicated. We had sent the petitioner’s 2years of tax transcripts and w-2’s.

The sponsor/co-sponsor must always count their spouse and children regardless where they live and even if they’re not claimed on returns. Only send whatever USCIS is asking for. If they mention that there are issues with petitioner’s I-864, then you must also send it.

Hey I was wondering about form i485, we sent form i130, and filled it out just like your video said, I'm an American Citizen, born here, my wife is from Mexico, the i130 processing time says 2months, do we still need to file form i485? She's not looking to work right now, but she is taking English classes.

I filed for my parents. Their paperwork is at NVC. I am aware that I need to do two separate DS-260 and two separate I-864. For my 2021 tax return I fall below and did not make enough 2022 and 2023 is above the poverty line. I live with my boyfriend and I am aware that I need to do an additional affidavit of support. Will my boyfriend be considered part of my household and do I need to fill out the form I-864A for him or do I include him on my I-864? Please help?

Hello Kseniya @Kseniya International Thanks for the video. I have one question that I couldn't find through the video. I recently got married to a US citizen. She is an RN and has been working in the hospital since mid-2022. I am on an F1 visa. I am currently pursuing my 2nd master's here in the US, and I currently don't work. (No CPT). But I worked until last year in October on STEM -OPT before my second master's began, so I had income and filled taxes to show for the last 3 years, which is above the federal poverty threshold. So my qtns is in the form I-864: 24. c. 3rd Most Recent? My wife started working professionally around mid-2022 and has a 1040 total income higher than the federal poverty threshold for 2022. and 2023. but 2021's total income (~10k) was way below the fed poverty threshold. So, what do you think you could recommend? Should we enter that total income (10k) into 24.c. in the 3rd most recent total income box a no?

My total income is $40,000 out of it $20,000 are house allowance. So according to what you said on page 5, 24a, b, c we have to write as is it in 1040 line 9. of total income. So in my tax return 1040 line 9 my total income is only $20,000 so what should I do to prove that my total income is $40,000? Thank you for your response in advance.

Do not wait for USCIS to request a joint sponsor. If you’re using a joint sponsor, you must include their affidavit of support and all the evidence in the initial packet.

hi Kseniya, thank you for your video its very helpful I have some questions I 'm the petitioner for my parents, my income is not enough , I file tax jointly with my wife, I will add I-864A for my wife, also I want to add my uncle as a joint sponsoring , -in this case I have to add my uncle in my form I-864, -in His form I-864A question (part 1) I will choose 1.e. 2nd of two joint sponsors ( my wife will be 1st joint sponsor ) or how I can do it . - for my uncle he file his tax with his wife, if his income enough he does't have to include his wife income in his I-864A, so for the question 24.a the total tax income in his tax form he can put the total income in line 9, or he just put the individual annual income as part 6 q. 7. Thank you so much

If you’re using a joint sponsor (uncle), it makes no sense to add a household member to your income as petitioner because you only use household members to supplement your income as the petitioner to make it enough to sponsor.
