Okay, I'm now filling out the correct paperwork ( the I864) and not the I 134, which would be completely useless for the immigrant visa we are applying for. Having done some research on the I-864 i still have some questions about it which from what I've seen haven't been dealt with specifically on here yet. 1. For current annual income I planned on filling in what I earned in 2015 since I currently have the same job and salary. Obviously I intend to move to the USA and won't earn that exact amount but is there any better way to fill in that question? 2. Like many people who work abroad for a few years and then come back I will not have a job lined up before my return. Is this some kind of red flag for the consulate? On a related note, if I use assests to meet the financial requirements or have a cosponsor help me how much focus will there be on my tax information? My jobs in China and Russia and my income there say absolutely nothing about my ability to support my wife in the US. Also, my domicile in the US is my parents house and we will be staying there when we arrive. Hopefully that suggests support and the idea that she won't become a "public charge" 3. I have copies of my 1040's, all made before they were signed and sent to the IRS (an accountant sent them to me along with the copies that were signed and sent out). Is that going to be a problem? Everyone seems so worried about clerical errors and things that aren't errors but that the consulate "might not like" so I thought i would see if thats some kind of outrageous error on my part. Thanks again!
