[XxDnMxX 0]

hello everyone,

My AOS interview is on Dec. 17 and i am gathering all necessary documents I need to bring. I am also reading up on forums like this to have an idea on what can happen in that particular day.

I am 26 yr old and married to a 24 yr old US Citizen.. He makes $1100/ month and we also have join accounts that total to $1600.. We live with his mom and his mom was good enough to fill up the form I-864A to help our case out..I am not working at this time but focusing on passing the Nursing board.

Can immigration based their decision on how much you have on your savings. Do we need to have more saved up...

I know eventually we can, but is there a magic number or something like that..

Thanks for reading and will be happy to haer from anyone...

They need the bank statements to see if you have a joint account...not to look at how much you have in there ..as far as I know

The amount in your saving probabably will not help you, other than to show your relationship, with a joint account. They will look at the last three years of your income to determine whether or not you meet the 125% of poverty guidelines: http://www.uscis.gov/files/form/I-864P.pdf currenty $22,000 a year for a family of two. You need a co-sponsor.

You would not have got an Interview date without meeting the Poverty Guideline. The Bank statement is to show the Joint account with you and your husband NOT how much money you have.

LOL ! I am printing all mine out now. All the best

Your husband asked the same question earlier today.

To prove a joint account, we just took our joint check book instead of statements (since we met the poverty line, we didn't see it was any of their business how much money we had in the account). The interviewer seemed to think this was ok, she looked through and asked what some of the checks were for (we paid rent every month and assorted other stuff).
