How money do you need to sponsor for your wife?

[JonnyX 1]

How much money will I need to have in my bank in order to sponsor my wife? I heard some people say around $5,000 - $10,000 is that right? What will they be looking at? Your income tax right? Money in the bank right? If it not $5,000 then does any one know exactly how much you would need in order to bring your wife here?

Be prepared to show 2010 or 2011 Tax Returns over $19,000.00. For a Couple of 2.

If that requirement is not met and no job. Be prepared to show approximately $ 59,000.00 in checking/savings. (Where did you read $5000.00/$10,000.00) Thats OK. Its Confusing

I'm sorry, I left out Currant Income with proof. Paystubs etc. Recent ...

Good Luck to both of us.

If you earn enough money then you dont need to fill out Part 7 of the I-864 which is the assets (e.g Money in Bank, Stocks.) In order to know if you earn enough money go ahead and check the I-864P which is the poverty guideline.

The main thing NVC looks at is your current income (W2 and Federal Income Tax return for the year 2011) thats the most important thing.

If you dont met the minimum income, no worries, you can always get a co-sponsor if you dont have that much money in your bank.

What is the miniumm income? How much is it? I make about 20 K - 21 K for my 2010 income tax is that enough or do I need a co-sponsor?

what do you mean by current income with proof, paystubs etc... what is all that?

also as for the household size does that include my parents who is currently is living with me or just count me and my wife? Like when I file the I-864 form do I put in my parents who is living with me or just me and my wife?

ok my Tax Returns for 2011 is 22K so is that ok? as for the 59K does mean if you don't have a job but do other job like Nail then you would need at lease 59K in your checking/saving right?

No money is required to be in a bank, nor are you required to know what a bank IS. You are required to have a means to support your wife. A job serves nicely for the purpose.

This is going to be good.

i dont really think he gets it as far as income or anything like that..

You have to make over 19,000 to have her here IF you DONT have any children, if you have children you have to count them in your household (how many people you claim on your tax return)if you dont make enough, then since your parents are living with you, are they working? if so and you dont make enough, then they can be a joint sponser. please read like everybody else says to do, it would be alot easier. good luck <3
