AOS poverty guidelines

[removed-2014-0501 9]

Hi guys, I really need your help in understanding the AOS poverty guidelines. My husband works part-time and maked around only $9000 annually so i need a co-sponsor and i am unsure if any of his parents can do it.

Both his mom and dad works full time and his little sister is there dependent so i wanted to know if his mother chooses to help what must her annual salary be. My husband lives with his parents and there is no child involved on any of us part so please advise me in anyway possible that you can

No it doesn't add on, they need to provide the full amount.

oh ok so if both parents salary is that amount or each annual salary needs to be $29,437?

Well actually it DOES if they complete an I-864A instead of the I-864. The OP said the husband lives with his family.

yes he lives with his parents

I really want my husband to be 1 of the sponsor cause it really looks bad that he is filing for his wife and his parents has to sponsor me cause in my mind they may denied my visa because of that

It depends which forms you use.

If JUST the mum helps and she signs an I-864A to go with his I-864 then HER income alone + your husbands needs to equal the amount for the household size which would include your husband. So the house hold count would be 5 (you, husband, mum, dad, sibling) and the amount would change to: $34,462 required. The dads income could also be included but he would also need to sign an I-864A.

If your husband complete his own I-864 and they complete their own I-864, then their income need only be for a household of 4 (your husband isn't counted anymore) and the $29,437 is what they need to earn.

He is ALWAYS going to complete his own form.

If you go that way, the household count would be 5.

OR

if your husband does an i-864 his count is 2. Then his parents would do another I-864 and theirs would be 4.

[removed-2014-0501 9]

and then both can be added together

What I would do is have your husband sign a completed I-864.

Then whichever of his parents makes MORE signs a completed I-864.

Then the other parent signs a completed I-864A which combines the parents income.
