Self-Employed Joint Sponsor Inquiry
So our situation is a bit of a....yeah...lol
We (my wife, myself and our 2-year-old) came to the states from Japan after living there for almost 7 years (we've been married for almost 5 of them) and our main purpose was to a 2nd opinion on treatments for my cancer. I was diagnosed in February and we barely got into the U.S. as it was doing its initial lockdown in March. By the time we went through our self-quarantine and finally got to see the doctors to have them give their 2nd opinion, Japan was locked down to anyone coming in that wasn't a citizen. So going back wasn't an option and so we began treatments ASAP. The treatments finished in June.
My wife is from the Philippines and so is in the states on her multi-entry, B2 visa. We figured we would do an Adjustment of Status after finding out that post-treatment I am to have a lot of follow-up appointments to check that the cancer has been successfully treated.
We think that the initial I-130/A forms are pretty straightforward. As for the I-485, it is also kinda straightforward but when it comes to the I-864 (and I-864A) it's a little more difficult for us.
My father is going to be our joint-sponsor and he is a self-employed truck driver. Also, he files his taxes for the year jointly with my mother (her being the reason for the I-864A). Question: Which forms are going to be needed for his tax returns for the past 3 years? (ex. 1040, 1040 Schedule C, 1040 Schedule 1~4, etc.)
Any other advice on how to file any of the forms for our particular situation (I-130, I-130A & I-485, I-131, I-765, I-864, I-864A, I-944 and G-1145) are especially helpful and appreciated.
