i864 income question

[Darnell 8,478]

oh, no, it's not

Ok, so does he have to make at least 3x the poverty level then? Which would be $56,910? And if so does this include his income + his assets, or just income alone?

What I thought was that if the assets are outside of the US it will be the 5x rule. But I thought that the co-sponsor's INCOME and/or ASSETS had to be 125% of the poverty level alone.

The INCOME does not have any multiplier rule. Not 5x, nor 3x.

If your fathers income is more than what the 125% poverty guideline says for the household count, you are fine. No assets needed.

Good luck! Semoga sukses!

His income only needs to be at least $18,912 for a household of 2. Since you said he makes way more than that, then there is no reason for him to list or use assets. The 3 times/5 times rule only applies to assets and not income.

This does not apply to the OP's situation as they are not using assets but since it was brought up: Yes, you only need 3 times for assets if you are sponsoring a spouse or minor child. However, a joint sponsor filling out their own separate I-864 would need their assets to be at 5 times the amount and not 3 because they are not sponsoring their spouse or minor child. Someone please correct me and clear this up if I am incorrect (pushbrk would work for this)

OK thanks for the clarification. So should my dad file an i-864A then and attach to mine? Or fill out a separate i-864? I'm confused about that part.

But I have a question :

I made 22,000 and my father has 28,000+ for 2011 = is this enought for my spouse, myself, father and mother (mothers income not included)??? and we both filed i-864. Is this correct

The I-864A is used for a qualifying household member that you reside with to combine their income with yours to meet the 125% requirement. Since you have no income, there is nothing to combine. Your father should fill out his own separate I-864.

Ok, thanks, that's what I needed to know.
