150% poverty level

[KRADAM11 1]

We are trying to prepare for the interview process. I am getting a statement from my employer as to my current income to find out just where I fall, but I have a couple questions. I think for this year I will fall somewhere between $27,000/$29,000 and I have no dependants. With my fiance added, the USCIS guidelines say $22,065. I am assuming this guideline is for gross pay and not net. If that assumption is correct then we will fall within the guidelines. I am just wondering if I should have an affadavit of support from another source. I have two people that will provide one if it is needed. One of the people who said they will provide one is my brother in law. I say my brother in law because he makes more money than my sister but they have said they will list both incomes if need be. Another question I have is that although their baby is yet unborn (due in April) my brother in law pays child support for 3 children from a previous marriage. If his 3 children do not live with them how are they considered with his income? Even if all are considered along with his mother who lives with them (she is self supporting, but I assume he needs to count her because she lives under his roof) He will fall well within the guidelines. The other is my boss and best friend. Her status is pretty straight forward. I can get an affidavit of support from both if need be, just wanted some input so I can decide on what is best.

For the interview, as I understand they ask for 100% of poverty line (for 2 individuals). During the AOS process it's 125% of the poverty line.

You're fine.

Thank you for the link. I looked at waht I thought was the 2011 guidelines but it was the guidelines to request a waiver. The request for waiver is 150% but regular guidelines for 2011 are 125%
