Hey Guys....

Got a quick question for a friend here. Does a K1 sponsor has to meet the required poverty guideline quota?

yes they do. essentially when you adjust status here you will need to meet the poverty guidline so they are cross checking.

Hi,

The short answer is yes, there are required poverty level one must meet in order to sponsor someone to the US. However, if say for example there is a family member sponsorship and they are unable to meet the poverty level they can get a co-sponsor or joint sponsor whose income is added in to put you above poverty level, or you can use assets in addition to your income, or also the person immigrating can be in part sponsoring themselves if they are able - though I'm not as familiar with that aspect.

At the immigration website, the following link should give you the info. needed to understand the poverty guideline:
