Question about I-864 and one reply

[yuliki]

I sent a Personal Message to one of the member of CFL yesterday afternoon as bellow and got his kind reply too, but still not quite understand??

 

QUESTION:

 

Hi, Good afternoon,

 

My Hubby right now is preparing the I-864,

 

Our question is:

Do both three years tax returns and the I-864 itself need to be nortaried or only the tax returns?

 

Thanks very much. I am presuming you have done with this form.

REPLY:

 

I just notarized the I-864.

I included 1 tax return, 4 years of W-2s (the tax statement), and proof of employment.

 

But I've made mistakes before, this is a good question to post in the forums.

The tax returns do not need to be notarized.

Should the W-2's be the originals?

 

Thanks!

Originals would be best. Onother option is to order transcripts from the IRS. You will get a print out of each year's return plus the W-2 info. This is a form the VO will have seen before and souldn't have any problems with it.

As to the above question, the notarization is for the I-864 to proclame it to be true and by the person who has signed it.

The requirements for the I-864 changed earlier this year and only require 1 years tax returns instead of 3.

Your husbands employer might be able to supply past copies of tax w-2 forms. it would be quicker, and free. Point being, they don't have to be original, nor from the IRS. The I-864 does have to be notarized,,he can do this for free at his bank.

Thanks everyone. I am very clear right now.

 

Since I just got my P3 last week and we are doing the DCF. So the I-864 still requires three year tax returns. It may be slightly different to other VISAS.

 

All the best to you.
