Do I need 2 I864 or just one?

[ggodoi]

Hi,



My wife and I are preparing the package for my AOS. Our most recent tax return is jointly but all income came from me through a 1099, she is a stay at home mom (hard work but no income). Question is, do we just need one form 864 where she will use the amount from our joint return? do I need one as well? Do we need a letter from the company I perform work to?



Thanks in advance for the help, reading this forum has helped a lot

Anybody??

After doing some more research I believe there is not such a thing as self sponsor on this case, since we dnt have anybody to joint sponsor we will have to go with only one I-864. Its gona be my wife and on income I will use amount of our last year joint return. Will it be a problem that 1099 is in my name? is it ok to use income of our joint return as her income on form 864? Do I send copy of 1099 in my name or only transcript of the tax return?

I am really confused and a joint sponsor would make it a lot easier but we dnt have anybody really. Another confusing point is, I consulted an immigration attorney and he said my case wouldn't be difficult and that our joint return was perfect and it wouldn't be a problem, but then I read many threads where people are saying somebody out of status cant be working (which I know, but have no choice) and that beneficiary's income cant be used if from illegal employment. I dnt know what to believe at this point and I need this form 864 figured out before I move on.

Any help would be much appreciated.
