I-864 No job

[nats6624 0]

I am having a joint sponsor for my I-864.. But my husband got laid off on October 31st so he doesn't currently have a job.. He receives Social Security every month and we are also currently receiving unemployment.. Can i put that in there as proof that we do have an income and how? Is that going to hurt my chances at being approved? My sponsor makes over the 125% poverty level so does that help me out as well?

Dont worry too much about it! My husband and I were going through the same thing when we sent off our AOS package on July 30th, my husband lost his job on July 10th. I dont think that social security or unemployment earnings makes a difference, we did not add these into the I-864 (just put that he was unemployed as of July 10th), the joint sponsor should be the MOST IMPORTANT, to show that you will be supported, also it is REQUIRED that your sponsor makes more than 125% of the povertly line, for the number of ppl in his/her family, as long as you can prove this, there should be no problems regarding the I-864, even if you and your husband dont work at the moment. We just added up my husbands total earnings for this year 2009 up to the point where he got laid off! I dont believe that it makes a difference to the IO whether or not your husband has a job, it didnt hurt our chances, we got approved on October 9th, straight from the interview.

We asked the IO at our interview about the fact that my husband doesnt have a job, but he explained to us... "Would you stop loving each other if you didnt have a job or money, and the answer is that is obviously NO!", therefore it cannot be grounds to decline your AOS. They are looking more at the relationship you have with one another.

Good Luck, I hope that I this puts your mind at ease a little more!

the joint sponsor should be the MOST IMPORTANT, to show that you will be supported, also it is REQUIRED that your sponsor makes more than 125% of the povertly line, for the number of ppl in his/her family PLUS you & your husband (so basically add two people to your joint sponsors household) and this is what they should at least be making to sponsor you.

e.g. our sponsor makes $125,000 for a family of 7, the poverty guidelines show that our sponsor should be making a minimum of $41,588 (125%) for the househould and adding two more people would mean she should be making a minimum of $50,938 (125%) for a total of 9 ppl, to sponsor us with no problems.

actually you need to fill out one I-864 for you and your spouse, and the joint sponsor has to fill out an I-864 for themselves and their son.

Part 5. Sponsor's Household Size

This section asks you to add together the number of persons for whom you are financially responsible. Some of these persons may not be residing with you. Make sure you do not count any individual more than once, since in some cases thesame person could fit into two categories. This means any dependents, like kids and parents. Anyone who is claimed on the sponsor's and joint sponsor's tax returns.

so for your spouse's I-864, for household size, you would put just your spouse, to make 2.

for your joint sponsor's I-864, they would put themselves and their son, also put down 2.

when the USCIS reviews your AOS they will figure out whether or not your sponsors make enough to support you.

the joint sponsor should be the MOST IMPORTANT, to show that you will be supported, also it is REQUIRED that your sponsor makes more than 125% of the povertly line, for the number of ppl in his/her family PLUS you & your husband (so basically add two people to your joint sponsors household) and this is what they should at least be making to sponsor you.
