New job pays above 125% poverty line

[celiothrkn 0]

We're applying for CR1. We're filing the I-864 (AOS package) with NVC right now.

1. If my income for 2008 was below the 125% poverty line, but I recently got a new job which pays above the 125% poverty line, do I still need a joint sponsor? I obviously don't have a 2009 tax return to prove it, but in theory I could show a signed employment contract and pay stubs.

2. If I file tax returns for 2006, 2007, and 2008, I will need to complete a separate I-864 for each year, yes? Likewise for the joint sponsor?

Thanks.

1. As long as you are currently making >= 125% the poverty line and can sufficiently prove it, you should be ok
2. Nope.
