itsmeusa Posted November 25, 2013 Report Share Posted November 25, 2013 I think USCIS would go with current salary figures. Link to comment
crazeekru Posted November 26, 2013 Report Share Posted November 26, 2013 Hi Ankit, Q1: You may need to submit the last 3 yrs of tax return ( and recent tax return is must) for you and your wife. What you must want to include is, your and your wife's recent paystubs ( past 2-3 months) and a letter from employer stating current pay rate and hours. That should be good enought. Q2: Yes, you should irrespective of her income. ( cause 70k by itself satifies the poverty limit but, it doesnt hurt to include your income ) Q3: No, if you and your spouse is the only one on affidavit of support, you just need to file I-864. Hope this helps. Link to comment
