[BurningInAgony 0]

Hi all,

I am signing I 864-a for my sister, but I want to make sure she does not face delays bringing her husband over.

Following are our details:

Family size: 3 ( her, me and her husband, do I include my wife if I-130 for her is pending?)

Her Current income: 10,000 ( Employee letter varifies that, on job for 5 years, last year income 8100)

My Current income : 18,000 ( employee letter but on job for only 3 months, last year income 15000)

Total: 28,000 req: 20,000

Do I have to include assets?

Is my employment ok? I am classified as consultant for two company and do not get pay stubs.

Pls give me advice, pls.

Do you declare your wife as a dependent on tax returns?

Since you're a consultant and don't get pay stubs, you should receive a 1099 for tax purposes. Copies of that form need to be included along with your latest tax return.

Did you imply that you have an I-130 pending for your wife? So you'll be a co-sponsor for your sister and at some point you'll have to be a sponsor yourself to bring your wife over? That could get complicated so be careful that you include as much documentation as possible each time making sure they fully understand how much you make or can make, and that you're over the poverty line by an appropriate amount. A cover letter doesn't hurt either. Be sure to read the I-864 guidelines listed here by Aussiewench. They really are helpful in understanding the process.

Good luck.
