helpful video, specially now that i'm reviewing my docs!! thank you!!! but now am confused; my lawyer said to use BLUE ink.

[@MT-dy9ec]

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?

[@KseniyaInternational]

@@MT-dy9ec Look at the question again: the form specifically says total income. AGI only for form 1040EZ which doesn’t exist anymore.

[@MT-dy9ec]

@@KseniyaInternational got it! AGI if it’s 1040EZ, Total Income otherwise. And 1040EZ no longer exists, so by default the figure should be Total Income, Line 9. Makes perfect sense. Thank you!

[@MarjiAbehero]

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.

Hello dear . I just started following you. First i want to thank you for all the helpful information you share with us. My case is a bit complicated. I am a US citizen. 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.

[@hadhoda12345]

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.

[@davidalexander8786]

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.

[@hadhoda12345]

@@davidalexander8786 Thanks David, I already did that and placed the total income. Just a few days after submitting the Affidavit of Support and DS-260 they got accepted without needing an RFE. So, for anybody who found themselves in a similar situation and is reading this: Always follow the instructions, don't care what lawyers might say. Submit all required evidence exactly as they want it, and the rest should be easy.

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.

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.

[@KseniyaInternational]

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.

Hi, i have a question 🙋🏼‍♂️ i’ve petition for my both parents mom and dad, and i’m single, my total income is over 35000 my question is my household is 1 or 3 with my parents that abroad thank you.

[@rjslias1918]

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.

If you're doing concurring filing with i-485 and i-130, does the US citizen sponsor need to include another copy of his birth certificate? Give he is already including it for form i-130?

[@KseniyaInternational]

They still should

[@pemylopez]

I don’t understand so I do need incorporate my birth certificate again and all evidence when it’s part of I-130? Its a concurrent filing

I’m in F3 visa category my sponsor (Dad) is currently a pensioner, can I add my sister who is also a US citizen as a joint sponsor for I-864 ?

[@chizobairene4490]

Hi Kseniya, Pls I have a question because I am so confused. Since my husband is the petitioner and sponsor, should he fill the form I-864A or just the Form I-864. Thank you so much.

[@hebatallaramadan2635]

Hi dear ken, thank you so much for your effort and time , my daughter applied for me but she is a student with no income so as i understand she will fill the form I 864 first and then when USCIS request a joint sponsor the co joint will fill the form or both the petitioner and the joint sponsor will fill the same form together

[@KseniyaInternational]

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.

if the spouse/beneficiary makes some income in their home country, will they have to add it in the form?

If he’s currently unemployed his current individual income is $0
