Question about Co-sponsor.

[Donna&Noelia 6]

I am just barely going to meet the 19,300 and some odd dollar mark by the end of the year.

..to be safe I am going to prepare for a co-sponsor just in case.

How does the process work with a co-sponsor?

My co-sponsor is my cousin, and she lives in another house about an hour away.

She has a daughter, and husband. ( so I would assume under poverty guidelines she would be caring for her husband, child, and my fiance, as well as herself which is "4" total) Is that correct?

Do I still provide my tax transcripts, as well as my employment letter?

Technically I will have myself made at least 21,000 dollars, but only 19,000 was regular wage.

The rest is overtime, and paid time off... Does anyone know if they count overtime, holiday time, or paid days off?

I am an hourly worker, so my paystubs show it like this.

It is gross income. If you are paid overtime or for time off, then it would still show on your pay stubs since it was paid to you. $21,000 is enough for a household of 2.

If you want to get together a co-sponsor as backup, then they will fill out their own I-134 and provide their most recent tax transcript, letter from employer and/or most recent pay stubs. They should also include proof of being a USC or LPR. Yes, they need to make enough to meet the requirement for a household count of 4.

You will still provide your I-134 and supporting documentation as well.

So for example, if my pay stubs show my hourly wage "regular" income year to date as 19,000.

..but it shows additional underneath it for holiday pay, paid time off, overtime and shows 21,000 ( because of the added 2,000 for the overtime etc... )

They would accept it as 21,000 and not just 19,000?

I guess I am just concerned because I am a full time, regular hourly worker. Not salary paid.. so my pay stubs CLEARLY states "regular wage" and show an amount. Then any other amount paid to me for days off, holiday pay, or overtime is below it separate.

yes better safe than sorry... I intend to have a back up co sponsor just in case they do not accept my income then I will provide them with my co-sponsors information.

Yes. All the income you earned added together.

[Mufmer 24]

Yes whatever is you are earning in a year no matter if its over time, that all income together is called Gross Income, so if u think u r crossing that poverty line then I better suggest to you don't go for co sponsor, but if u don't meet the requirements then u may only move for it.....Best of luck.
