(G) Compare Total Household Income with Governing Poverty Guideline.

If the sponsor’s total household income (line 24c of Form I-864 or line 18 of Form I-864EZ) is greater than or equal to the governing Poverty Guideline threshold, the sponsor does not need to show evidence of assets and does not require a joint sponsor. In this case, USCIS may move to Part 8 of Form I-864 or Part 6 of Form I-864EZ.

Our household size is 4 and in line 18 from form I-864EZ is the Current Annual income of my father is $29,096.

Then that is enough for that household size, unless you are in Alaska or Hawaii: http://www.uscis.gov/files/form/i-864p.pdf

Thanks.

What is the purpose of the 3 most recent income tax in line 19?

Partly, they want to see that the sponsor filed taxes, as is an obligation under US law.

Partially, it's to see whether current income is constant, or whether it goes up and down a lot, especially when close to the poverty level.

But they will base the current annual income ( line 18 in I-864EZ) in the poverty guideline right? Just for clarification. Thankyou!

Hi. I also have a question to al VJ'ers. In Visa interview, what will be the basis in determining if your income is sufficient, is it In Line 18 in AOS I-864EZ and Line 26 in I-864.

Because i read an article from uscis that they will base it in that line.

Thanks!
