Hi
Do you have videos about what are the documents you will upload in the ceac? Thank you
My spouse has a child but she doesn’t claim her on taxes, the father does because the father pays child support and the child’s welfare, should I add the child as household income?
I brought my husband and file I184. And i m married . Now i my applying my mom dad I184. So on part 5 do i skip no 3 and put 1 in no 5. Or do i put 1 on no3 &5. I m confused.
Oh my gosh, thank you, thank you so much! This has helped me immensely. I can't even express how grateful I am right now. You have truly made my day and lifted a huge weight from my shoulders. God bless you!!
You are amazing! I’m so grateful for having found you. Thank you for all the help!
You are an angel!!!!!! I almost paid a lawyer to make my process, but you gave me totally confidence to make it by myself!!! Thanks a lot!!!
THIS IS BY FAR the most clear explanations and instructions! Tons of appreciation!
I just pass by here to say thank you so much. With your videos I filled out my I-864 and get my resident
Thank you for this video, this is all I have been looking for.
You are of enormous help! God bless you.
Thank you!
Brilliantly explained. Thanks.
Indeed very useful, especially I could not find those relevant information from online search.
Hello, me and my spouse have a small business we are partners but when it comes to spouse income is it legal for them to have an income even if they dont have a social just yet. should i just state the income as it is all mine? thanks for clearing that up
Thanks for the info ❤
Very helpful thank you so much 💓
I stressed myself out so much on this form and i864a. I tried google and reddit they weren't much helpful. Until I found your videos. You are so good at speaking! You make it easy. Much love!!!!
Thanks for your help
As usual, like your video. Wondering where to find your I 864 playlist. Thanks
Hi Kseniya,
It's great to see someone like yourself sharing your experience and helping others in the immigration process! I have a comment. At 8:16 you were mentioning the total income from 1040 should be entered into form I-864 part 6 line 2.a but the I-864 specifically says "my total income (adjusted gross income on form ...)" which is a few lines below total income on the tax form. So if the sponsor just has one job as an employee, their total income may be the same as their adjusted gross income. But if the sponsor is self employed such as a contractor, then they may have some adjustments and that results in a lower adjusted gross income than their total income, FYI. If they enroll in retirement plans with their self-employment income, the gross and total could differ significantly. My guess is that USCIS is looking at the total income that the sponsor can use for day-to-day expenses so whatever is adjusted down such as money they put in their retirement plan that they can't take out for day-to-day expenses can't be included.
Hello, it doesn’t matter self employed or retired, they only care about total income. They specify AGI only if using form 1040-EZ which no longer exists.
but whose total income? Filing out the form as we speak and a bit confused now.....@@KseniyaInternational
@@kevconsciousness Total income is total what is written in the tax return. You add w2 forms to differentiate who makes how much
Excellent thank so much
God Bless you ❤
Hi Kseniya! Thank you once again for making this videos! You are amazing!
I have one question: my husband and I we got married in April so we don’t have taxes together. I have a work permit so we want to put my income as part of the household income. Im the intenting inmigrant. So i guess I have to check box 22. But for the part federal income tax return, we don’t have any together only my husband tax return, so we just put my husband ones? Or we have to apply a different way?
Thank you so much in advance 💕
Thanks
So useful
Hello Kseniya! I want to thank you for your channel, your videos are very informative and helped us a lot when filling out the forms. Thanks a lot.
I have a question about my Joint sponsor who filled out two separate i-864 for me and my son. The Joint sponsor has two forms 1099 and 1099R, and they also receive income from dividends, and the wife also has 1099. He and his wife are retired and filing taxes jointly. How to show separate current individual annual income for Forms i-864 and i-864A?
You are so cool! I appreciate you! ❤
Hey Kensiya, firstly thank you for your videos, they have been very helpful.
How many forms do I need to apply as a Canadian citizen who just got married to a U.S. citizen ? As far as I know now ( 130/131/1485 & the work visa) do I need to apply for the i864 as well ?
And most importantly is it true that I have to wait 6 months from the day I entered the u.s. in order to file these forms ?
I heard it is recommended to wait otherwise it will look suspicious for some reason
This form has been stressing me outttt and i finally found someone that goes into detail. Thank you so much! I did have one question. My household size is 2 and I'm the beneficiary. My husband made above the poverty guidelines for 2023 and 2022 but not 2021. Will that be an issue?
This is amazing content and much needed! Question, what if the US citizen is retired abroad but would like to bring his spouse to the US. How would that work? Any information would be greatly apprecisated.
Thank You
Hi Kseniya. Thank you for your video! I have a question: My spouse is a US citizen but we didn't file taxes jointly. He is my sponsor and the only sponsor, and I am the intending immigrant, our household size is 2. We are not going to use my income at all, so we just put "N/A" for questions 8 through 19 in part 6. In this case, do we need to check box 22 and put "N/A" where it asks us to provide a name? Thank you!
Жду с нетерпением! 🕺🕺🕺
Hi, thanks for the video. So helpful. We are filling our taxes jointly but my wife does not work. Any advice for me with regards to filling the AOS.
Thank you very much for the information, it is very good. I have a question. I live in the USA and my wife is a citizen. We are in the process for my residency. With the affidavit of support that one has to fill out with the NVC, my employer can be my sponsor?
🙏🏻🙏🏻🇧🇷🇺🇸thank u. I love allll u video
Thank you for such great video. If i already sponsor 3 people, they just got approved from the I134-a humanitarian parole. But they're coming to the USA next month. Should i include them as dependent on this application even if they're not in the US yet?
Thanks
Hi @KseniyaInternational . What about if the inmigrant petitioner contribuites with the household income but works outside of the united states? Should complete on question 8,21 or 22? or just leave it blank? Thanks!
This document it bounced back to me 3 times because my husband who is the household I need to put it under me .. the petitioner
4:26 Hi I appreciate the time u took to help us all whose going through filing the i864, i have a question hopefully u could help me
1) should i my spouse duaghter that was added on the i130 form?
2) i sponsored an immigrant 2years ago, which a green card holder, should i add it has yes?
3) my total tax income is 48,000 and i have no independent filed on my tax return is it a must to add any house member ?
I am stuck in filling the affidavit of support
Hi kseniya, my father in law is my joint sponsor, he is married but both are retired do u think my mother in law should also file or just him? because she is retired
Thank you for your help! FYI my spouse is the petitioner and he makes enough money alone. HOWEVER, persons at CEAC is still asking me to complete I-864A. We can't get an interview until I do this 😔 the rules are not set in stone.
If you have indicated your name in part 6 of the affidavit of support that’s why they may be asking for it
Hi Kseniya
Thanks for the very informative videos. I have a question about a household member.
My daughter is a US citizen. She filled out I-130 and I-864 for me. Now NVC asked her to add her husband as a household and fill out I-864-A. In which form she has to add her husband as a household? Thanks
Very useful ,sufficient information , Thank you so much
Hi Kseniya, I have an urgent question as I have been looking for its answers everywheree. In part 6 of this affidavit, when the petitioning sponsor checks off item 22 because the immigrating spouse's income is combined and mentioned in the form, whose name goes under that "name box" if the form is being filled out by the petitioning sponsor?
For married sponsors, does both spouses MUST meet the minimum income requirements? I would like to combine both incomes and one does and the other one doesn't.
I just want to thank you for all these videos. I wanna know if I can send hoy an email to see if you can
Clarify some
Questions I have 🙏🏻 and if there’s a way I can buy you some coffe for your help. I’m so grateful for these videos. They’re helping me a lot with my mothers case
Yes my email is in my profile
Hi Kseniya! I am petitioning for both my parents. I filed taxes jointly with my husband the last three years. . My current income is sufficient to support both my parents, however on the last three tax returns (2022, 2021 and 2020) my income was very low. Does my husband have to file form I-864A? Thank you!
Do you have to send to send the tax transcript or the w2 wage tax statement is good?
Hello Kseniya!
I have a question for you:
My wife is petitioning both of her parents.
My wife is not working and I'm the spouse don't make enough
But we have a join sponsor make enough income.
Question 1:
Does my wife need to report my income or not?
Do I (spouse ) need to fill up form I864a or not?
Basically we just want to use all the income from a join sponsor.
Thank you.
Hello Kseniya
If a petitioner which is unemployed and a joint sponser fill I-864. At this case should the petitioner also file I-864?
Do you provide personal help(I will pay)? We just got a request for evidence because of this damn form and don't know what to do. I wish I could have seen this video before.
is it ok not to upload W2 if my two joint sponsors are married? I read somewhere that if both of them agree to be the joint sponsors there's no need to upload the W2s.
I am the intending immigrant and have checked box 22 in part 6 of I-864. However, my wife and I got married after we filed our tax return separately. In this case what income we should put in 24a, b & c ?
I also filled for my parents in 2016 and they are no longer living with me and living out of the US and not planning to come. Do I have to mentioned them as well when my case is on Affidavit of support stage? Thanks in advance
The total income line does NOT include income such as the tax-free part of social security pension. In many cases this is the entire amount and can be the majority of income so that without this amount the income will be insufficient. Does this amount get counted so that I don't have to include all my assets?
Hi Kseniya
I have a question.
I made a mistake while applying for tax for 2021 and My Tax Return Transcript from the IRS is showing $0 for my income.
Now I correctly file it with amended 1040X but the Tax Return Transcript form IRS is still showing $0 because it is not updated and it is taking forever.
Can I file AOS with Amended 1040X + W2 or Tax Return Transcript is required document for AOS for NVC ..
Hello, please an important question! My wife she filled taxes jointly but I'm not even in the us or having a tax number or a social security number! But she put for me that I'm not making anything, and just her income! It's gonna impact our case on the I 864 and taxes?
Good night quick question, my sponsor didn’t make the required income in 2019 but for 2020 and 2021 he did, i’m trying to file this year by the way. Will that be on issue? Meaning does it mean he can’t sponsor me?
Thank you
Hi Kseniya. I got RFE for form i864. I have question about 1040 form. I always filed my taxes jointly. Past two years my husband had loss in his business. After combining my income and my husband's , total income is less than What I earn. My question is since the total income is less, can I just write my gross income from form 1040 for 24a, 24b and 24 c. I appreciate your help. Thanks
Does this form needs to be approved by USCIS? If it does, how long will it take to get their approval?
Hello really helpful. Question my wife is my sponsor she is currently not working I’m the support of the house I’m the only person working and I’m the beneficiary but I’m currently working and live in the United States with a work permit DACA
Hi Kseniya! Your channel has been so helpful and the most concise one I’ve found here on UA-cam. Thank you. We’re saving so much money by filing it ourselves and understanding the process more.
I have a question that I hope you could help me out with. My husband( U.S. citizen / the petitioner) and I (Philippine citizen beneficiary) are filing concurrently online.
We have (130, 130A, 485, 765) forms and bonafide evidence ready. His tax forms and recent paychecks were already part of the requirements online.
Do we also have to file/mail the I-864?
Along with the 485 & 765?
Hi, how do I find out if I did sign the affidavit of support?
How do I seek a copy of it?
This was nearly 10 years ago and I'm going through a divorce with the spouse I sponsored. By the time my divorce is finalized it will be just over 10 years since she got her green card through me (I'm a US citizen). However, the date of separation was 2.5 years ago.
Also, am I required to pay her support equal to federal poverty level? Thanks
First thank you for sharing.i have a question to asking. My husband and I need sponsor my mom together. So my husband need fill I864 form too, right? And if he need it, for part 1. Which box he should click? Only one joint sponsor? Or others? Thx
Can I use my house as an asset ? I looked online and I find some mixed answers, some say yes and some say no , any suggestions or advice would be appreciated, thanks
Hi Dear,
Please make an vedio on I-824...how to file...form is quite confusing
Hi me and my spouse have filed jointly. She is petitioning her mom and finishing her I-864 form. Sorry to ask this. But it makes me confused if I have to check Part 6. #21 or #22. Please help!
Good day ma'am. Please I really need your help. We submitted our NVC document. And everything we approved except the FORM I-864 AFFIDAVIT Of SUPPORT. And the error was that it was suppose to be 12pages to be submitted but we only found 10pages. Please what do we have to do, do we have to go obtain the remaining documents and how do we get it?
I will sponsor both my parents at same time, do I need to put that information in each form?
Hi Ksenyia. Thank you for your advice. I have a question which I couldn’t find the answer. I’m an intending immigrant, my husband is a sponsor. I also have a child and my husband is a sponsor for her. Our taxes weren’t jointly last year. I am going to be a sponsor for my child and for myself because my husband’s income is not enough. In this case do I need to send I-864a for my child but not for me?
Thank you!
I am a joint sponsor for my moms husband.
I am currently SEPARATED with two kids.
I claim one and he claims one on taxes. So for household size would I just put myself, one child, and the immigrant? Total 3.
I make the required income for support.
Just want to verify I do not need to add EX or my other child to household size since I do not file with them on tax return?
My friend is getting Married in African tomorrow. What forms does she need to file to eventually bring her “husband “ to USA . I was told it’s not K1 once they get married.
I love your channel ❤️🙏
I130 online
Does the Joint sponsor include the wife if she files taxes separately?
How many pay stub do they need with the additional w2
Hello what about if the joint sponsor is a married couple that file taxes together please help
Thanks for your help! Your videos are great for understanding the process. My situation is the following. I am a petitioner of my Dad, but I am not working right now. I am married, and my taxes are jointly... so is it necessary to have a separate I864 form signed by my husband?
That’s what this video is about :)
Hello, pl.suggest for my parents if they dont have birth certificates and born before 1970 in India, what other documents, i can submit as per uscis. Thankyou in advance.
Part 2,, for Petitioner or beneficiary? Please let me know
My parents are no longer living in the US. Would I still count them when I file for my wife?
Hello Good day, Is it necessary to put those 3 taxes on i864 form? My husband 2022 and 2023 met the poverty guidelines tho. Should i necessarily include the 2021?
Hi Ksenia first of all you are doing a great job me and my wife are very muh appreciated with that, I have a question, I am beneficiary and my wife is US citizen I am still employed outside of the states but currently I am in unpaid leave. My yearly income is nearly 20000$ should we write my name as combining income to my wife's and check the box 22? if so, should I present any proof ?
how do I supplement my income to sponsor both my parents..i have my wife , son, daughter and sister in my household
Hi Kseniya. Can you help someone file this form? And how much would you charge? It's got me very confused.
Question... I fill taxes with my husband but all the income in the last year of taxes. It's all his income. Not mine, It's going him to be considered a joint sponsor does he need to sign anything or fill any application? This is so confusing. I am sponsoring my mother but not working right now...
my form i864 was accepted but i864a keeps getting rejected . i get an email saying to add my spouse as a household member under myself and download his documents under his name , please help
I need help
My husband is self employed, he didn't pay taxes for last 3 years due to some financial issues, now we are gonna add joint sponsor, my question is that he will fill the i-864 form, but what about tax returns section? What should he fill there he doesn't have records? But our joint sponsor paid all current taxes .
My husband and I file jointly I am the beneficiary. I had some self employment income. Can I exclude my income? I do odd services here and there and have a social no work permit.
Hello Kseniya, this question is in regards. to what you said about filling form I-864a, you said that what we put in the tax returns for previous years must match what the sponsor puts on his 3 most recent years tax returns, but we just got married and it is the first time we are filling together so we only have one joint tax return and I have my own separate income from past years. as i am filling the form I-864a should I put our joint income from the most recent year and just put my own income for the past years even if it does not match what his form (I-864) says?
I see, you would put whatever the tax returns of that person say
@@KseniyaInternational we just got married and filed joint tax this 2022. Do I need to summit the W2, 1099 from him and his ex from 2 years ago because his tax transcripts from 2021 &2020 had his ex name on it
Hi Kseniya, firstly, thanks for your video, they are SO helpful!! I will recommend all my friends have needs to follow you. I have a question, since I’m petitioner /sponsor for my parents and my income ($15k) is not enough to be so sponsor, I will use my husband as household member to help sponsor my parents i-485 application. He already signed I-864A and provided 3-year W2s ($100k+ annual income) and 3-month pay stabs, My question is do I still have to provide all my W2s and 1099s? I mean I want to focus on his annual income. Also, does he still need to provide his 1099s and part time job W2s. Thanks so much!!
Yes you should provide all W2 and 1099 related to the tax returns.
Can you please help me I have the same situation you had I’m using my husband income to reach out the requirements income while we doing jointly taxes but my husband doesn’t have the w-2 for last years because it was Covid he was not working he was receiving Unemployment is he still available to help me out
hi, what if the sponsor is filled married filling joint but the spouse is unemployed?
hi, me and my spouse filled our taxes together for 2023. he is the US citizen who is sponsoring me. does he have to send our federal income tax return? or the state return (we filed this separately)? im here on a f1 visa and my job is an internship. we dont want to include my income, just his to be safe.
Very useful Information! I had one question.. I have filed my tax return for this year but my tax transcript is not available on IRS website yet. Can I use my transcripts for 2019, 2020 & 2021 ?
Same here
I married a Dominican woman and I live in Texas. We are trying to bring her here, does this information pertain to me? we have never filed taxes together because we have never lived together. I just visit her in her country but we are almost done with this process.
Thank you for all your help, your videos are so helpful and clear.
I do have one question about this form though.
I am the sponsor and me and my wife are married filing jointly. I did the form i-864a for my wife already but, in this form i-864 what should I answer in page 1, part 1, 1d and 1e. Does my wife has to complete this form as well, added to the i-864a?
Thank you!
The primary sponsor/joint sponsor must complete I-864. If you’re a joint sponsor for someone’s green card case, you answer 1d. Your spouse only signs I-864A
@Kseniya International Thank you so much for your response! I am the primary sponsor for my mother. My wife completed Form i 864a because we need her income as well due to our household size.We filled our tax return as married filling joint. My question is if my wife has to complete the form i864 too as a secondary sponsor. Because I know you said the second sponsor cannot combined income. I am a bit confused on that.
i submitted AOS .2022 adjusted gross income $34,450. I'm the main sponsor and i added my husband as a household member. we filled tax jointly. i sponsor my mom and dad. i have a baby .
so how to calculate total household size are 5 or 4 ?
i know our income is not sufficient. i added a joint sponsor and joint sponsor also add her husband as a household member. Their household size 7 including my mom and dad. their 2022 adjusted gross income $64,432.
Do i still need another joint sponsor ?? please suggest me .
Tax income line figures should match the 1040 line 11 - the gross adjusted income
Line 9 Total income - read the form and instructions
Hello,
I am petitioning for my mother. I and my husband are US citizens, and I have been a housewife for the past three years. My husband and I file taxes jointly. I am filing I-864 and my husband is filling I-864A so that I can use his income. My question is, for the I-864 in Part 6, #24a- 24c (re: My total income as reported on my Federal Income Tax returns for the most recent three years), can I include the total income on our tax returns though technically it is only my husband who earned this? Asking this because from what I understand, since we file jointly, the total income on the tax return is also considered my total income even if I did not work because we filed jointly, hence I can write it on Part 6, #24a-c. Is my understanding correct? Thank you .
Hi Darian, I would like to ask that I have filled for my spouse I-130 last year and I hope sooner I'll file Affidavit of support documents. This is my 2nd marriage and last year I filled married with my ex due to not understanding what to do or how to file. I have 4 kids with my ex but she got the 80% visitation and I just have 20%. Am I still putting my kids as dependent? Also is that going to be an issue if I filled as married last year but using that Affidavit for new spouse abroad? Please advise
@ss4497 my advice is to seek a lawyer so you don’t make no mistake on the documentation it would cost you money but I would rather you avoid such errors because it would definitely delay your husband’s process.
Hello
My wife and me filled joint tax return
She is petitioning her parents and her income is not sufficient but both of us is 100k so do we each fill 864 separate? Or different form for her and me like 864a or 864w or 864ez ? I am confused please let me know
Thanks
Hello kseniya, what if my petitioner has never had a job?
Hi Kseniya: USCIS has sent out RFQ to resend I-864 along with I-864A as I clicked line 23 while filing.
Can I resubmit by excluding spouse(without I-864A) as my income is 125% above poverty line? Also, can I make changes to remove assets(Part 7) to avoid confusion?
If I submit I-864A along with I-864, I think I need to put both combined taxes that were filled with IRS on line 24a. 24b. & 24c. Am I right? Thanks in advance your videos very helpful. I wish I had checked before.
I believe you can resubmit a new form with evidence.
Yes lines 24a-c must include info exactly as listed on taxes.
I have the question , I am married , I am the sponsor for my mom , I and my husband filed married jointly, my uncle will be co-sponsor( I and my husband don’t have enough income). In my case,do I have to put my husband income and file i864a or not?
