Do I need Co-Signer for Affidavit of Support

[Minhaz Siddique 0]

Need answers to the following questions:

1) Based on information I received, income for 2 is $18,212. My question is in regards to Affidavit of Support. My income last year was about $15,000, which means not really meeting the requirements. However, I am actively working and can provide pay stubs and work letter. My active income if calculated to the year is well over $18,212. Please advise if I still require a co-signer.

2) If I do get a cosigner, and lets say they have 5 people in there family, does he/she (co-signer) have to meet the requirements of 5 people and my beneficiary?

for the first Question YES u need a co-sponsor still ..cz the base they care of is ur last year income ...not the pay stubs ..

pay stubs work as an evidence that the data u provide is accurate and u r still able to support the immigrant

as of ur Second Question ..i really dont know ..hope one of the Guys here give u a good correct answer for it

For question 2: Yes the co-sponsor needs enough income for 6 people, (his dependents and the beneficiary of the visa).

Good luck!

1) Maybe, they are conserned with current and future income, your current and future income meets the requirement, IRS returns show past income pattern.

2) This depends on if the family members are DEPENDENTS of the joint sponsor, example, my brother, mother, father may live in the same household as me, but they are NOT my dependents.

cuchita and n_w/-m have given you good advise.

another thing to consider and not forget is that nevermind the co-sponsor; you still have to submit your own I-864 as the primary sponsor, even if you know you do not have the income.

best of luck.
