I-864

[xulei601]

For my wife's K-1 visa my parents were co-sponsors, because my income was not sufficient and I'd lived in China for several years and hadn't filed tax returns. Now we're in America filing for AOS/EAD and I have a pretty good job that starts next week. I have a letter from the company stating my starting date and salary. I still don't have tax returns, though. Should I ask my parents to also fill out the I-864, or will my letter of employment be enough?

Current employment is the most important issue in regards to determining the meeting of the public charge issue... but you don't have the three years of tax returns to submit. You have to submit a written explanation of why you didn't file taxes. It's a toss up whether you would be approved or not.

 

you can either:

1) Do this without a joint sponsor and see if they will approve it; worse case is they tell you to get a joint sponsor.

2) Get the joint sponsor and submit it with application.
