Thank you for the video. Lawyer wanted to charge me $4000 + $220 a month+ government form fees to do a I-130 and I-485. My case is straight forward. You saved me a lot of money!!
Funny how they care so much about providing this information when coming here legally but when coming illegally they welcome with open arms and free handouts on the taxpayers dime.
no doubt , theyre SO HYPOCRITICAL and ILLEGAL themselves , they charge us more money to do things right , i guess its to pay for all the ones doing it illegally
Just want to let you know that you are helping me to fill out all the forms for my sister's case, and I appreciate you for all the videos you post. Much ❤️ love
Hi Kseniya, I have a quick question: I started a process (DS-160) to invite my dad to my graduation, and I want to start filling out the I-130 form when he comes to the U.S. Is it possible to begin the I-130 while he comes to the U.S. on a tourist visa?
Hello! I am naturalized citizen petitioning for my parents i130 and I 485. I am self employed with 1099 filed jointly with my wife. We had received RFE with notice in mail for I 864.for un sufficient funds and was updated online also.but later it got canceled online and we never received anything in mail that it got canceled. Now we are not sure do we still have to send the documents for that RFE. We would really appreciate any advice or to if it has happened to anyone and what you guys did on canceled RFE? Thank you
Thanks for the video... it was recommended by TH-cam because I've watched some of your other videos. I just filled out the I-130 for to sponsor my wife. Nowhere on the form does it talk about income. According to the table you showed, my income is above what is stated in the right column, for our family size. However, I am in a situation where I am not obligated to file taxes by law because I am on SSDI (it's been a few years, but I plan to file to "catch up" anyway). Should I include my income SSDI verification of income letter? Thanks to you or anyone else who can answer this? I am wanting to avoid any delays or extra forms. Take care.
Where did you get the information that consular process / current NVC stage will overlook the 2023 tax return in favor of current income? Is that based of the federal regulation / case law? Thanks.
Hi Kseniya, thank you so much for your videos! If i were to include my assets what additional support documents do i need to send in? Is there another form i need to fill out? I am above the poverty line but im not sure if ill make their cut.
Hi Kseniya hoping that you can answer my question. So i'am planning to petition my wife and 2 kids. I'am worried about my annual income. Because right now i'm living with my mom and stepfather. My plan is to file the i130 even im still here living with them and then move to a apartment after 1 or 2 years before they process my application and just change the address so that the household number is lower compare to the household number right now.
Hi Kseniya, thank you so much for your videos! They are so informative, specific and helpful. Can I please ask a question about the fee? USCIS considers a benefit request “received” on the date it is physically or electronically received. Is the received date the date that the package is delivered? I am going to mail my documents on March 15 and worry that whether USCIS will open my package after April 1 and charge me based on the new fee.
Hello Kseniya, l have a question My total income is $45,000 but because of house allowance my income is shown to $27,000 so how do I prove that my income is $45,000?
Question: Do I count the person in my household size that I’m sponsoring now? I meant- is the person countable whom I am applying for now with this affidavit?
How many Tax years do I have to pay as a sponsor ? If it’s the last 3 years for example are those 3 years must exceed the poverty guidelines or the last year is enough, Thanks
So my wife made 30k and she has 2 kids that she mentions in the tax returns and the house hold with me goes upto 39k but she only made 30k last year but she receives 12 child support every year that adds the 30k and 12k . Does USCIS consider only the tax returns or the child support as what? If not what are other ways ? Thank you
@@KseniyaInternational so what do you prefer to be a step out of it without a joint sponsor? If the process get rejected how can we submit proof for showing ? What happens once it’s rejected and what are the chances for getting it in the future.
Ксения добрый день, подскажите пожалуйста, как быть в случае если нет спонсора ? Достаточно ли показать свой счет и доход? Помогите пожалуйста, не могу найти нигде ответ
Please answer my question 😢, my husbands (petitioner) income as shown on the line number 9 is less than the guideline however in the next pages of the tax return paper it shows that he made more thank 40k from a self employment business. Does that mean I report the first one alone or I should add them??
Hi Kseniya, Questions. My wife is filing for her mom consular process, she did an AOS for me 2 years ago and is my Sponsor. We file taxes jointly and 2023 tax return was 64,000 For Sponsor’s Household size, should I only count # 3 and leave # 6 blank? The fact we file jointly even though I am a Permanent Resident, will my portion of the 64,000 be accepted as part of the household income to make threshold of 5 (myself, wife, 2 kids and the pending mom case) ???
Wow you really have a video for everything 😍 If you do not have to have affidavit of support for example a Greencard visa is there another form you have to fill out to prove that I have the financial means? Do I have to fill out the I-134? And what is the poverty guideline for a self sponsor for just 1? Where can I find that?
Question again. I’m about to submit the ds-260 and prepared required documents (birth & marriage certificate of applicant, 2X2 p.port size photo and passport biometric) On ds-260 it’s already mentioned applicant is married and the schools where she attended. Question is on the below add supporting documents, will it help if I upload like wedding pictures of us, video and call log screenshots between us & school documents of the applicant? Thanks a lot Kseniya
@@KseniyaInternational Copt that. Thanks for your help, all your videos from start to finish are amazing. You saved my money from getting a lawyer. Cheers 🥂
Hi kseniya. My wife’s documents (DS260) that the NVC needed were accepted and approved including the affidavit of support and financial documents in February 29. How long would we have to wait in order to get a notification or email for her interview? I’m in Texas and she’s in Mexico, her interview will be in cuidad Juarez. Thanks.
Hi, thank you for the video. I received a message from NVC saying "please submit every 2022 W-2, 1099, and Schedule form" for my joint sponsor. My joint sponsor only has w2 and does not have 1099. I already uploaded w-2 but what do I do for 1099. Can I just ignore this if he doesn't have it?
my income with my spose is 81000 and I am sponsoring both my parents. the poverty guideline for 5 people is 45000. my own income is 61000 and my husband made 20000 only out of the. do I still have him file I 864 a even with small income. is it safer if I just add joint sponsor.
Hi Kseniya! I’m planning to file AOS to my parents . And currently I’m unemployed . I filed tax jointly with my spouse and not sufficient income for sponsor according to property guideline. Please ! Advice me to use joint sponsor what are the forms suppose to be submit.Thanks for advance.

Hello! My fiance will be arriving here on a K1 visa probably either late this year 2024 or early next year 2025. If he arrives around March 2025, am I supposed to submit tax returns for the past 3 years or just the most recent one for 2024 and 2023 and 2022 by that time? If he arrives late 2024, am I supposed to submit previous 3 years? My concern is that in 2022, I only worked for 4 months total because I spent most of the year on vacation in his country. So my income for 2022 definitely does not meet poverty guidelines. Then in 2021, I was married and I had a joint tax return. So i’m not sure which info from that tax return I should submit
Thank you for the info. Would $75,000 to close to the border line for a family of 5? Or should I use my wife’s income as well to on the safe side. We file taxes jointly but I’m trying not to use her income to bring my parents. She has brought in her parent about 3 years ago and I don’t want to enter their info.
Hi Kseniya, Thank you so much for your video. It was informative. I have a quick question. Do u have any idea if money in a bank account (assest) helps with sponsoring a person? I'm currently not working because of being a full-time student. If you have any information, please reply to my comment. Your help is appreciated!
I loved all your videos, thank for all you do. Do you have any cases pending on I824, we will like to know if it’s take long like other people have mention, my daughter has I130 approved and now we know that going to take extra time.
@@KseniyaInternational thanks so much for your response, hopefully it won’t take long, the situation in my country is worse every day. Have a great week 🙏🏻😊
Hello, can I sponsor one parent for now, they are married and I would like to sponsor both of them but I'm on a fixed income and would only be able to sponsor one of them when considering the fpg's of 125%, I can only fulfil the household of two, myself and one parent can I sponsor one and when I finish my contract and I'm a civilian, I would be able to earn more and sponsor my other parent while one may be possibly be here and settled by then?
Hello, even if you wait to apply for the other parent, you would have to count the first parent in their affidavit of support regardless - so you would have to meet the guidelines for 3 people until the first parent becomes a citizen. Alternatively, many applicants choose to find a co-sponsor.
May you please make a detailed video about co- sponsors and what type of people would be eligible for that. Would like a friend be a valid co sponsor or would it have to be someone like a significant other or partner?
Hello I petition my wife and I don’t have 2021 & 2022 due I am in the Philippines not working and I filed my 2023 I make $62,000 is this ok or I need a sponsor?
If it’s only you and your wife you are above the poverty guideline. For the current annual income you need to put what you anticipate your annual income would be for this year and submit proof with that.

Is this for gross income or net income?
If you have a 1040 or 1040A you need to provide the total income and if you have 1040EZ then provide the adjusted gross income.
It’s in the instructions for I864.
