Hello everyone

I am a new member of visajourney, however I have been following it for quite sometime, by following the directions provided here I was able to bring my fiance over. We are married now and I again followed instructions here and filed for her AOS. I just recieved a notice from USCIS stating that they need more evidence because my income on the Federal income tax return does not meet or exceed 125% of the poverty guideline. which is untrue because last year i made 20k because I was unemployeed half of the year and the federal poverty guidline is $14570 for family of two. My second problem is now that I was let go from my work back in Feburary and I am still seeking employment. How could i provide them a letter of employment and pay stubs from last six months. I am confident within few weeks time I would have another job but would I have to file her I-485 again with another sponsor or can I include another sponsor for her right now? please help me I have no idea what to do.

You want to look at the I-864 poverty guideline. They do not use federal. The above poster is correct about the 125% being 18,212. They probably don't feel that your income of 20k is enough for 2 people because you are JUST over the line. Its been seen before on VJ where people had to get cosponsors even tho they met the requirement but were just over it.

Your I-129f was approved in 5 days from your NOA1 date.

Your interview took 67 days from your I-129F NOA1 date.

AOS was approved in 2 months and 8 days without interview.

ROC was approved in 3 months and 2 days without interview.

If that is true then they will probably ask one for us too, Tim only made $19,950 for 2010 and we did not get a co-sponsor.. oh well, let's wait and see!

Don't stress. Tony made just over $19K when we filed as well. Not a problem.

Also, new guidelines were out a month or so ago. The 125% is now $18,387. Not a huge different but just FYI :)http://www.uscis.gov/files/form/i-864p.pdf
