Need help -- Income Requirement, Temp. Job

[Mr Er 3]

Hi VJs,

Here is my situation-

I have worked on and off during last year

2006 to Sept 2009 -- Company X1 (Direct full time position with Reputed company)

affected by down sizing due to heavy economic downturn in the company

Oct 2009 to May 2010 -- Company Y1 (Contract position with a recruiter agency)

Contract and project completed in May 2010

Married abroad in May 2010

Filed I-130 June 2010

Got another project with the same recruiter agency

Sept 2010 to present -- Company Y2 (recruiter company is same,, project site is different)

I earn well above poverty line.

But..... recruiter agency writes in employment letter my position as TEMPORARY FIELD EMPLOYEE HAVING ENGINEER POSITION.

My father is unemployed and taking unemployment benefits, but he has good amount of money in bank account.

Questions are

(1) Can I use my own income to sponser my wife and file only I-864EZ ?

(2) If my temporary job creates problem then can I make my father co-sponser and use his bank balance to make total assets greater than 3 times poverty line ?

(3) Can a person earning nothing but has atleast 3 times as much of the poverty line in bank sponser his or her spouce without taking anybody's help?

Ask your employer just to remove the word "Temporary" so that you can be the just only sponsor.

Tell them it is for your wife's visa.

Loto,,, they are !@#$%^&*()!@#$%^&*)!@#$%^&*()

I have enough wasted my time bagging for that since last 15 days and finally I gave up.

Thats why I posted question on this forum.

So is that logically true if I do not earn anything but I have $60000 assets (3 x poverty line) than I am qualified to sponser my wife ?

With your asset and "that employment letter" would be fine. Include whatever paystubs available as well.

Loto, this sounds so relaxing you can't imagine,,

u know, I called USCIS and asked them the same question, (of course without giving my reciept number and using different phone)

but they clearly told me that they can not answer this question, go find good immigration attorny...

what a rubbish answer. They make forms and rules, they why they can not answer questions related to their forms.

To backup your asset, include at least last 12 months bank statements too

Yea surely,,

Thanks for tips.

[Mr Er 3]

Has any one else gone through the same situation ? will appreciate any information

I agree with Loto. It's not that big of deal as long as you meet the criteria they set and they don't go and run your financial check or employee check. I would not worry everything will be fine just submit the doc Loto said. take care

I was in a very similar situation. I was unemployed (between gigs) when I filed I130. I had worked a couple months earlier in the year. I was a "temp" or "contractor" when the case moved to NVC, with most of my reported 10 year work history being the same. It's been a while since I filed, but I thought the only thing they cared about was 1) Annual income or 3xAssets above poverty line, 2) Possibly that "being currently employed" might look good. I never remember reading anything about "temporary" being an issue. I supplied past 3 years tax returns, final paystub for gig#1, most recent paystub from gig#2, all showing total gross yearly income of above poverty line, along with letter from gig#2 HR giving my title, employment status, and annual income. I don't believe my employment letter said "temporary" but I just don't recall that being relevant. Can you point me to some resource or explain to me why you think that matters? I had no RFEs or other problems. EDIT: Also, I filed I864EZ.
