AP SUCKS! Co-sponsor needed...PLEASE HELP!!

[amazngrace 3]

For a family of two, you need to make a minimum of around $18,500 per year and convince USCIS that your income is somewhat stable. That is the requirement. If you, for example, are currently making above the minimum but you've only been in your job for a month or two, they might require a sponsor. Or, if it becomes obvious that your contract is temporary, they might request a co-sponsor.

In that case i currently make above the 125% poverty and have for the last 11 months and have a 2011 tax transcript to prove it. so that being said i feel i dont need a co-sponsor? or how does everyone see it? i really need your feedback waiting on the embassy this far in the process is killing me!

The last 11 months is not consistent enough, they want three years to show longevity. They will probably just take your info wqithout a co-sponsor after another year or two. Did you file for 2011 yet?

I had been unemployed for close to 5 years and supported by my husband. When he went to Algeria for visa and waiver processing, I was the sole sponsor. I had just graduated and worked at my job for well less than a year. We used his income because he was employed with an EAD. I submitted a salary verification letter from my employer with my hire date, three years of previous tax returns(with his income), and 3 months of pay stubs at current pay rate. It was accepted without a co-sponsor.
