unable to obtain these tax records, an explanation will be required as to why the records cannot be provided and/or
why they were not filed with IRS. If you filed a joint tax return and are using only your own income to qualify as a
sponsor, then you should submit copies of your W-2s for the most-recent three (3) tax years;

if there are other income sources that are available, such as from members of the household or dependents,
in order to reach the minimum income requirement, you should include their federal income tax returns for the three
(3) most recent years. If using other income sources it will be required that each person completes USCIS Form I864a, which is a contract between sponsor and household member;

proof of current employment or self-employment. Include copies of most-recent pay stubs, or employment
verification statement from the employer on official company letterhead, which will need to include a start date of
