Hello all...I have read alot on the income requirements and at first I was thinking I would need a joint sponser...I am having a very hard time getting one so I am here to ask questions if I can just do it myself...

Ok this is my story...I was involved in a very bad car accident in July of 2001 that has permantly disabled me (but I don't let it slow me down) I won't go into details about my injuries but I am unable to work full-time so I get Social Security Disability but not SSI it is SSA classified as retirement benefits. I also recieve what I was told survivors benefits for my son (who is 11yrs old) which is in his name but I am the represenative payee and goes by his SS number but paid to me..for example it says (To Tammy ***** For My Sons name)...I also recieve child support from my sons father and I work part time(about 3hours a day) 9 months out of the year for a school...

I was told by the Social Security Office that I would not lose my benefits because I am married now..As long as I am disabled I will still recieve it...

But my questions is can I use what I get from SS from my son? and on the I-864 where do I put this info as income from SS and child support..Or do I have to attach an explanation...I have a very good paper trail that shows I have recieved this including child support...

Thanks to all that reply

Tammy,

Your son must be at least 18 years old to include his income as household member. You need to include your son also in the household.

You can show all other income in I-864, sum (part-time income, child support, just your SS disability income) it up for an year and enter in Part6, Item# 23.

Thanks Loto that is what I thought...I still can do it without my sons income but it is like 1500 over the poverty level guide so I barely make it...

As far as expediting my case 'Not' LOL my mom got offended when I asked her...

Have a good one...

Tammy, you are good to go then. But note that 2010 poverty line guide is not yet published. Every year, they will increase the threshold, watch it out. If you have some other assets such as bank balance, home etc., it would be helpful.

I hope by then we will be passed the part where income comes in but I doubt it...If I still need a joint sponser I will keep asking friends and family or keep crying on their shoulders until they give in :D ...

Keep smiling
