I864 Affidavit of Support Simple Question!!

As an only joint sponsor, I am filling out the form I-864.
I make enough money to qualify as a sponsor, which means I dont need to include my spouses income to be qualified. Therefore, I decided to put only the income shown on my W-2.

Now I dont need to attach I-864A with my spouses W-2, right?

I once filled out this form for my spouses I-485 about two years ago.
For the income tax returns, we have been filing jointly for the last few years.

The question 25 on I-864, it asks me to put the total income for the last three years for which I filed the tax returns. In 2004 and 2005, my spouse also had some income and included on our tax return. I was confused that if I should put the income on my W-2 or the total income on our jointly filed tax return. or AGI.

Which number should I use? Just my income or total income of both I & my spouse?

Thanks for your help!!

Another Quick Q. I864 has to be notarized?

it has to be notarized and also if joint filling it is better to use I864A I did.

I thought I-864A is to be filled out only when you are including another persons income to meet the requirement. and that person should fill out the form.

What about the total income question I asked? which number I should go with?

I have the same question.

I will be filling out I-864 for my husband who I am sponsoring for GC. I make enough money so that I will not need to include my husbands income in this form (and so he will not need to fill out I-864A).

Now the question is what figure do I put in Q# 25? Because on the federal tax returns, we filled out both our income as the total gross income (as we filed jointly). So this number will be different from the number that i would put in Q# 24.

In brief, Q24 asks for my individual income and Q25 asks for income reported on Federal income tax. So is it ok if these two numbers are different (because I am not filling out I-864A form to show income of the intending immigrant, ie for my husband)

Can someone please clarify this.

Thank you very much
