You need to include your fiance, as he is the person you are sponsoring to come here.

I have a question somewhat pertaining to this. I am not sponsoring my spouse, but am in the K-1 process. When the time comes to do the financial proof...do I include my fiance' in my household size (he would make us a house of 4),or just myself and my 2 sons since he and I aren't married yet? Curious to know in case I need to get a co-sponor because I was only figuring in myself and the boys.

Thanks in advance for any information I receive.

Dawn

I don't know I-864 is the form for K1 process as well.

If yes, your household will become 4 in I-864

Part3, Q# 8 - Yes

Q3 10. 01

Then in Q# 21, it will be added to make total 4.

However, I will pull other's expert opinion on this matter.

OK, so if I make 25,147.00 a year that means I'm under the level. Any idea how much a co-sponsor would have to make in order to help me with this? I have a 20 year old son who's willing to be the co-sponsor if he makes enough. If not I have to figure something else out.

Thanks.

2009 I-864P states $27,562 for household of size 4. The difference is $2,415.

You have 2 options:

1) If your 20 year old son makes more than $2,415 a year, it is good enough.

2) If you are US citizen, you can show your asset value 3 * $2,415 = $7,245 to qualify.

OK thats a lot of help. Yes he makes more than that. I also wonder, since he's only beginning in his working career, he's been at this job for almost a year and this will be his first time filing taxes. Will the fact that he's never filed for taxes before be an issue? I only ask this because I know they ask for previous tax returns.

Thank you all so much for the help. I am still learning what this process is about, and I am getting my education in it as fast as I can. I'd be lost if not for the community.

Anyway, you are showing your last 3 years IRS transcripts, so NVC can see that your son was dependent in it. It should not be a problem, even if your son has only the current year return. Some kind of explanation on a separate paper would be handy to them along with AOS submission.

Good luck!

OK, thank you. Will it make any difference if my last 3 years of returns have my ex husband as joint filer? We have been divorced since the beginning of the year, but our marriage was over years ago. The only reason he was still with me was because he became disabled on the job and I was being kind and helping him by letting him stay while he got the medical care he needed to recover as best as he could so he could move out and I could start my life

Thanks. I hope I'm not asking too many questions...lol. Better to be informed and prepared than not I say.

It should not be a problem. You said you make $25,147. Is this the amount from your own income OR combined with your ex-spouse?

That's what I make at my job, so it's my own income. I get paid bi-weekly, so I figured it out by multiplying my hourly pay x 40 hours to get the weekly amount. Then weekly amout by 52 (weeks in a yr). I am due a raise in March, and that will put me in the range where I wouldn't need a co-sponsor, but I'm sure my fiance' will be going for his interview before then.

Thanks,

Then, everything looks good. Keep an eye on 2010 poverty line guide as well. The numbers will be little different, normally upward trend.

Good luck!

I just noticed you mentioned my son showing as a dependant on my 3 returns previously. Actually he's been living with my first ex-husband since he was 17, so he won't show up on them, he actually still lives with my ex because he went blind, so my son lives there and helps him with daily needs. My two youngest sons will show up on the tax returns. (I have 4 sons, 2 are grown and not home anymore.)

Will this be an issue if he doesn't show? He and all my other sons adore and have a strong bond my fiance' and he wants to help all he can in the process of bringing him home to our family.

Thanks,

OK, wonderful. Thanks so much. This was something I wasn't sure about and figured I'd ask when I seen this come up. I'm glad I did. It never hurts to ask questions and glean as much information as you can.

Dawn

[LotofPatience 65]

It looks like you are all set, Dawn!

If possible, show the total income little above than the threshold, just in case. If you have any other assets (cash, bond, stock, home etc.), it would be helpful as well.

Good luck!

Thanks so very much. You really helped put my mind at ease. I don't have much in assets except for my vehicle, and that doesn't come to the extra either, thats why my son jumped at the chance to be Derek's sponsor as well. I'm so lucky my kids bonded so well with him. We've known Derek for 10 years, so it's a good and stong bond we all share.

Thanks again for all your help. You've been brilliant!!

Thank you, I plan to. You too with your partner as well! I hope everyone on this journey does.

Wow, we're nearly neighbors...lol. I've driven through there while traveling with the family many times!

I hope you don't mind, but I'd like to add you to my friends list. You can add me as well. Thanks again for all your help.
