Help-How to answer to annual income Question for this year in I-864, part 6, sponsor's income?

[mitra 0]

Sorry for this stupid question but I'm the sponsoring petitioner in I-864 and I began working from this April 2011. So when in I-864,part 6, Question 23 it asks me for My current individual annual income and in I-864 instructions it asks me for my current individual earned and then it talks about my expected income for the current year I get confused.

I have a generic letter from my employer stating that my anual SALARY is $60,000. but since I stated my current job in April, my CURRENT YEAR INCOME(up to dec.31,2011) will be less than 60,000.00.The next problem is I'm working part-time (32 hours per weeek)and i'd like to include my paystubs of the last 6 months but they clearly show that my 12 month income will be less than $60,000.00

So from High school Calculus, I say:

$60,000/12=$5000 per month & since i haven't worked the first 3 month of the year 2011, $60,000-$15,000=$45,000 & since i work 80%(part time) it ends up to $45,000 *0.8=$36,000

My questions are

Q23. My current individual annual income is? will you write the EARNED INCOME up to this day(today) which can be directly sum up from this 6 months paystubs ($5000 *6 *0.8=$24000), or you write your expected income for the current year which will be $36,000 as calculated above, or you directly write what ever your company letterhead says which in my case is $60,000? (without taking into account that it points out not to THIS year 2011, but to a 12-month cycle?

It's kind of tricky this question, thanks for your calculation & your inputs

On Q23 the answer is 60k, because that is your current income.

Current annual income does not mean how much you're going to make this year. It means how much you currently make when calculated on an annual basis; e.g., how much you receive with each paycheck multiplied by the number of paychecks you receive in a year.
