I-864 and i-864a questions

[jandk 6]

Hello- Question I have is in regards to filing my Affdvt of Supprt for my wife.

The reason for the question is because like most I worry that her visa might get denied based on the financial aspect of things. When looking at the I-864p(Poverty Guidelines based off of 2009) Im looking at the dollar signs and thinking wow. My income from my job is at 23.5k a year and I recieve 3k a year for child support I would be adding in as part of my income to become eligible. So overall 26.5k a year. My household size is currently Me,my 7yr old daughter, 5 yr old daughter, my wife, and soon to be son in June. So 1+1+1+1+1=5. So according to the 2009 Poverty guidelines that requires income of 25,790 x 125% = 32,237.5. So I am $5,737.5 short.

I currently reside with my parents, since Jan 2010. My step father has agreed to co-sponsor with me with the I-864a. His individual income is 32,948.55(Based of agi of 2009 taxes.) Now his household consist of himself, my mother, and my younger brother(under 21) So household of 3. My understanding is that he would have to meet the poverty guidelines for his own household..?

Overall our income combined is at $59,428.55. Would this be enough to financially support my wife's visa?

Your SF would need to make enough income for himself, wife, son (younger), and your wife. (4 people).

So with the info you posted - he makes enough.

Between the two of you, no issues.

Remember - you fill out an 864 and he will fill out the 864A. Be sure to obey the instructions for evidence (USC/LPR/Income/Household)
