When preparing Form I-864, Affidavit of Support, one of the most important financial documents you can submit is your IRS Return Transcript. USCIS often requests these transcripts to verify an immigrant sponsor’s income history. While the IRS provides several types of transcripts, it’s crucial to select Return Transcripts, as they contain the information USCIS typically needs.
Although you can submit copies of your filed tax returns instead, Return Transcripts are usually easier to obtain and are widely considered more reliable for immigration filings. In addition to tax documentation, you may also be required to show proof of your current financial ability—this can include recent pay stubs, bank statements, or evidence of qualifying assets.
Submitting the correct financial records can prevent delays and help ensure USCIS accepts your Affidavit of Support without unnecessary requests for additional evidence.
