Affidavit of Support HELP

[Olu14]

Hi Ray B, Senior Member or anyone,



please i need your help. My husband filed form I130 and I-864 for me. I just received a notice letter yesterday stating that they need more evidence that we did not meet the poverty guideline requirement. We want to use a joint sponsor. In the letter, it states that if we are going to use a joint sponsor, the joint sponsor must provide copies of their recent federal income tax returns and also provide supporting tax documents(W2s,1099s,form2555 and tax schedules).

My first question is- what is the difference between federal income tax returns and supporting tax documents?

Also, my husband who is the sponsor submitted W2s and 1099 for the most recent tax year but they are asking for complete federal income tax return, what do they mean by this? What documents should we submit for this?

Please i will really appreciate your replies, thank you very much

A Federal tax return for a sponsor or co-sponsor should be included with supporting documents: copies of W2 and /or 1099 forms, employment verification letter, proof of US citizenship or residency status of co-sponsor.

A "complete Federal tax return" means either an IRS transcript or copies of all forms and schedules submitted to IRS with a tax return (Schedules A, Schedule C, etc.).
