Quick Question

So I am looking at this link: http://www.uscis.gov/files/form/i-864p.pdf and I think I am a tad confused about the numbers..

So my husband is in active duty for the U.S. military, so does he need to be making $14,710 in order for us not to neeed a co-sponsor, or $29,420?

Thanks!

If it's just you two, living outside Hawaii or Alaska ... then it's $14,710. Where did you get $29,420?

I couldn't tell if $14,710 was the actual poverty line or if that was the min value needed. If it was the poverty line, then $29,420 would be 100% above the poverty line

I see what you did there 100% means 100/100 which is 1. So 100% of $14,710 is just $14,710.

125% is 125/100 which is 1.25. Now, 125% of $14,710 is 1.25 * $14,710 = $18,387.

At least I can take comfort knowing my simple multiplication skills are still intact

My confusion was whether he had to make 100% above the poverty line or not. $14,710 seems a little low to support two people.
