Without meeting the financial requirement, you will not get an immigration visa.

The I-130 would be approved to evidence you and him have a familial relationship that allows you to apply for an immigration visa. The DS-230 immigration visa will fail when your husband cannot provide an I-864 which meets the financial requirement.

Sorry.

If you are speaking of moving your family to the US, in your situation, it would be wise if your husband headed to the US and got himself a job first so he could be your sponsor and you and could follow with the kids.

Assuming you have 3 kids, in order to sponsor you for immigration, your husband would need to make about $30k p.a. which is really not a lot of money for a family. See link: http://www.uscis.gov/portal/site/uscis/menuitem.5af9bb95919f35e66f614176543f6d1a/?vgnextoid=73c63591ec04d010VgnVCM10000048f3d6a1RCRD

There is no way you will be given a visa to enter the US, or be allowed to AOS in the US, without meeting the sponsorship requirements.

Good luck!

Thanks for replys, husband will have to go to US to get work 3 years of tax returns? will have to use irish income!

He does not need 3 years of tax returns. He needs a US income that is 125% of the poverty line for a family of 5. He can file as soon as he warns that amount on an annual basis.

He can file US tax returns for the last few years with the $90k annual foreign income exclusion.

Unfortunately, his Irish income cannot be used for the I-864.

If you do not have a Joint Sponsor, the only way for you to immigrate to the US is for your husband to come first and get a job that meets that amount or find a US citizen friend who will be your Joint Sponsor.

Well actually having just interviewed in the Dublin embassy this week I can tell you what the Consular Officer said to me!

She said regardless of the fact that my husband is back living and working in the states for the last 7 months and earning a good salary with all the paperwork to prove it, it won't do. Regardless of the fact that that he has all his last 3 years tax returns done and all are well above the property requirements this unfortunately will not meet their requirements.

If your husband has not been living and working in the states for the last 3 consecutive years you have only 2 options the lady told me.

1) show the appropriate amount in assets (sorry I don't know what that would be for you, for us I think it would have about $58,000)

2) get a joint sponsor

The lady told me that the most straightforward way was to get a joint sponsor - which we are getting sorted now.

Well that sucks if husband is working in us and earning well above the poverty line we have to look at yet another angle, maybe one of my usc kids can co sponsor when they start working in usa in a year or 2.
