Using a joint sponsor
Hello!
My brother has agreed to be a joint sponsor for my husband. Originally I thought that I would not need his sponsorship for my husband because I was right at the threshold for yearly income, however we received a letter back saying they needed more information. I did not have my 2016 at the time I sent in my original I-864 return because my brother is my accountant and he filed for an extension for his and my tax returns to focus on his clients. When I sent in my paperwork the first time, it was rejected because I wasnt able to send my 2016 return and my 2015 and 2014 returns did not reflect a high enough income.
I am 25 year old recent college graduate so I don't have any assets, mortgages, or large amount of cash in bank account to to show more financial stability.
I helped my brother complete his I-864. We will be sending the USCIS the following:
-brother's I-864
-his most recent tax returns (draft for 2016 because he is an accountant and filed after extending his personal return)
-my 2016 return showing adjusted income (also a draft because we just filed)
-brother's W-2
-K1 for brother (business partners)
-K1 for myself (brother and I are business partners for a small business)
-1099 for brother
-photo copy of passport and state driver's liscense from brother
Do I need to provide any passport photos for him?
Do I need to send in another I-864 for myself?
Should I still send a copy of bank statements going back a year?
Thank you very much in advance - I reall appreciate it!
Sincerely,
Ethan
