Immigrant Income

[txladykat 1]

From what I understand, you can use the immigrant's income to qualify if that income will continue once they move to the US, correct? My husband just secured a job with a US company who is willing to pay him on a "contract" basis until he gets his SSN, then they will switch him to a regularly employee. This is a job that he can do from anywhere, so until he comes to the US, he will be doing the job from his home in Denmark and will continue the job from our home in the US.

So, since it is income that will continue, we can use it right?

Yes, you will probably need to obtain a letter from the company or something

Yes - from the I-864, page 2:

Income from the intending immigrant, if that income will continue from the same source after immigration, and if the intending immigrant is currently living in your residence. If the intending immigrant is your spouse, his or her income can be counted regardless of current residence, but it must continue from the same source after he or she becomes a lawful permanent resident.
