I-864 poverty guidelines

[summersolstice 0]

My wife is petitioning her parents. We've already paid the AOS fee of $70 and also received "Paid" status for the $400 IV fee. We're running a little late on filing the I-864 Affidavit of Support but her parents are still waiting on their passports anyway. I'd like to remain off the AOS if possible but I'm willing if I need to do so. It's only my wife and I in the household and she's petitioning both parents.

What is her salary requirement? Would it be figured at 125% of the poverty line for 2 people, 3 people, or 4 people? Is there a link to a 2010 I-864P or is the 2009 form linked here still current?

The count would be 4. (your wife, spouse (you), two parents) - $27,562 would be the level.

The 2009 poverty level is still in effect. (It will be changing in the Spring of 2010 - unknown the exact date)

If you are going to use your income to help make the level, you would fill out an I-864A.

You can make a copy of these forms (864/864A) if both parents are listed on them (one original, one copy) to put to the two different submissions.
