yes it's necessary....

so you mean I will still need my wife previous taxes return?

follow the directions on the RFE and the 864…

it’s says this… Can her mom provide everything without my wife previous Tax…. You did not submit a properly completed and signed Form I-864, Affidavit of Support, for the petitioning sponsor,l, listed on Form I-130 or Form 1-129F. Even if a joint sponsor will be used, the petitioning sponsor must submit Form 1-864 (Form 1-134 is not acceptable for Adjustment of Status). In order to process your application further, you must: • Submit a completed and signed Form I-864, Affidavit of Support, from the petitioning sponsor. A valid signature consists of any handwritten mark or sign made by an individual, and does not include signatures created by a typewriter, word processor, stamp, auto-pen, or similar device. All pages must be present and of the latest edition date. • Provide the petitioning sponsor's Social Security Number on Form I-864. • Provide a complete and correctly calculated household size on Form I-864. • Submit a complete copy of the petitioning sponsor's Federal income tax return and all supporting tax documents (W-2s, 1099s, Form 2555, and tax schedules) for the most recent tax year.

@mike Omar the recent tax year is the 2023 tax return filed this year. I got the same exact message and my lawyer helped with my joint sponsor to get all the required paperwork. I just sent it in yesterday.

@Lilian A thanks for the information, So the 2023 is fine for my spouse right. Do you have any idea of what her mom will be sending out as the sponsor?
