Hi sorry for asking too much questions, I don't want to have problems with NVC that's why I'm preparing it ahead of time... Well, here goes my questions, my husband is a US merchant marine he is a member of a union. A union where he got his job he doesn't have a permanent company because every time he's done with a particular work he will then go to the Union and finds another company to work with. So my question is what will he put on as his employer in I-864? will he be putting the latest company he worked with? And also been worrying about this, sometimes he just work for 4 months in a year but gaining some 28k as income would this be a problem considering the fact that he doesn't have a permanent company? But sure to have work anytime he wants as member of Union? Any help and opinion regarding this? thank you guys for helping me out... God bless...

Yes, put his latest company in I-864 in Item 22. The 2011 annaul income in Item 23 is very important - it needs to be above 125% of the 2011 provert level (18,383 for 2) - link http://www.uscis.gov/files/form/i-864p.pdf. The 2010 IRS Tax Transcript or full tax return is mandatory. So if his 2010 is also good, it is fine. If 2009 & 2008 are also good, then include those, as those two are optional.

Your 28,000 is good for 4 people (you, your wife and two kids). you should be fine. Also sending an explanation letter of his employment may be good.

Line 23 is current income, not 2011 income. Current income is expected income for the 12 months following the date the affidavit is executed, not any calendar year. Yes, it is very important. Latest company and occupation advise above is correct but stating his "current income" could be a little complicated if his work is sporadic. I would need to know more details of his 2010 income and how much he has worked and will continue to work this year to advise.

NavyK, thanks... But how will he determine his 2011 annual income? As of today he is on his 2nd ship the last time he had worked for this year was from march-june and now I guess July-Oct 2011. and his income still uncertain for the entire 2011.

Hi, my husband worked for 4 months in 2010 that's from june-october 2010 and he gained 28k for that. this year he just finished a contract from march-june 2011 and now he's on another job until October. as far as I know he already gained 20k from march-june 2011 job.

note: each job above mentioned is from different companies.

My husband also plans to get a joint sponsor not for the income perse but because he doesnt have a "permanent company"...

My case is too complicated i hope you can help me analyzing this... thank you God bless

Well, make a conservative estimate on your past experience - your annual income is going to be different from those that have a fix employment - even these guys may have a different actual based on for example bonus.....
