question on affidavit of support

[bebero 19]

are these numbers the same ones used for filing form I-134?

also, if my fiance doesn't make enough money (we have no children, so he should make 18,912 right?), and our co-sponsor has one child and wife dependent on him, that co sponsor should make enough for 4 people right? (28,812)

I believe the cosponsor has to make enough to care for their household plus the intended immigrant.

Petitioner should make about $18,912 for both of you but with co-sponsor + his wife and kid that will be for 5, $33,762.

Good luck!

Yes, those are the poverty guidelines used. Follow the I-864 guidelines even when filling out the I-134 for the K-1 visa.

Yes, your fiance needs enough for a household of 2(himself plus you), and the co-sponsor needs enough for a household of 4(himself, his wife, his child and you). The co-sponsor does not include the USC in their household count unless the co-sponsor claims them on their taxes.

Oh so the petitioner is not included. Thanks for the clarification. Sorry OP
