I-864 help needed (split topic)

[Blessedwater 0]

Hi everyone;

Very helpful forums so far. My question; My husband and I have an approved I-130, sent already to NVC. I have been calling for the case# (not assigned yet), but I am practicing filling out the AOS (I-864).

Now this is my story; I am currently unemployed and completed with unemployment benefits this past Dec/2013. I was able to file a jointly return with my husband and my son who is 21 years old, as a dependent (household # of 3). I am the petitioner, my husband the Beneficiary. My husband works and pay taxes, but I am still unemployed (and on Medicaid). For the new I-864, Part 6 (item#5), My current individual annual income would be ????? Since I have no current income, I thought maybe I should put Line 22 from 1040 from 2013, is this correct (which is my husband and I income for 2013), or just put 0?

I guessing, we need a sponsor since I have no current job (income 0), and my husband's current income is only 10,000 annually?

We asked his sister who self employed. She filed her taxes with 1099 (added Schedule C, etc.). Nevertheless, her income on the 1040 says 1,942. When we added her 1099 (2 of them) the total comes out to 24,654 (reported on Schedule C). Would she be a good sponsor to add?

Sincerely,

Blessedwater

P.S. I need help!!!! Please.....

I'm confused. You posted in the CR1/IR1 forum but your profile says you filed for "other". Since the foreign spouse's income only counts if it is going to continue in the USA after moving to the USA, neither of you has ANY current income. You don't make up numbers to look good. When asked for your current income, you answer honestly. Zero, IS a number. Regardless of what kind of case this is, yes, you'll need a qualified joint sponsor.
