sponsor information need some advice!

[myloveadil 4]

I know I have read this on hear before but I just can not seem to find it! Anyway my husband was just approved for his visa but out of the blue they call us today and ask us to find another sponsor the one we had just didn't seem to be enough.

Well we had a friend offer to sponsor but he was on social security last year and of course did not pay taxes because he was not required to.Now he has his Military retirement coming in which is more then enough ,both the military and social security said they would send letters stating how much he made and will continue to make! So my question is are they going to allow us to use him as a sponsor because he does not have tax returns, I have been digging and digging for information but am getting nowhere please if anybody knows about this any advice would be great!

This is the information I had given Jaime&Khalid if they got approved today then it helped.

I was reading through the IRS website and found the following link that covers Social Security Income, it maybe helpful in your case:

http://www.irs.gov/p...s-pdf/i1040.pdf pg 8 has a chart that stipulates who has to file tax returns this along with the sponsor's 1099 form from SSA and a copy of the Retiree Account Statement should be enough to prove the sponsor is exempt from filing taxes. Now you will have to get your fiance to be able to understand all this and how it relates to his visa request. He will be the only one talking to the CO or you could send the embassy a detailed email with the chart and and supporting documents.

Chart AFor Most People and at the end of 2010

IF your filing status is At the end of 2010 you were Then file a return if your gross income was at least

Single under 65 $9,350

65 or older $10,750

Married filing jointly*** under 65 (both spouses) $18,700

65 or older (one spouse) $19,800

65 or older (both spouses) $20,900

Married filing separately any age $3,650

(see page 13)

Head of household under 65 $12,050

(see page 13) 65 or older $13,450

Qualifying widow(er)

with dependent child under 65 $15,050

*If you were born on January 1, 1946, you are considered to be age 65 at the end of 2010.

**Gross income means all income you received in the form of money, goods, property, and services that is not exempt from tax,

including any income from sources outside the United States or from the sale of your main home (even if you can exclude part or all of

it). Do not include any social security benefits unless (a) you are married filing a separate return and you lived with your spouse at any

time in 2010 or (b) one-half of your social security benefits plus your other gross income and any tax-exempt interest is more than

$25,000 ($32,000 if married filing jointly). If (a) or (b) applies, see the instructions for lines 20a and 20b to figure the taxable part of

social security benefits you must include in gross income.

***If you did not live with your spouse at the end of 2010 (or on the date your spouse died) and your gross income was at least

$3,650, you must file a return regardless of your age.

The taxable amount of the benefits can be figured on a worksheet in the Form 1040 Instructions or Form 1040A Instructions , or in Publication 915, Social Security and Equivalent Railroad Retirement Benefits.

Key note to remember if between his retirement and social security the sponsor makes more than $25,000 he or she will still be required to file taxes unless it is SSI in which case those monies are tax free.

I hope this helps,
