hello guys! I've been reading stuff lately about their case was rejected/denied because of this aff. of support.

How much do I need to earn yearly for them to approve our petition? my 2011 annual income was 19k and last year was 28k. Do you think that is enough?

What are you making in 2013?

Exactly $19,000?

In that case you are $387 short of meeting the 125% of federal poverty guidelines minimum required for a household of two to sponsor an immigrant.

They do not care what you made in 2011, only what you currently make. Only last year's (2012) tax return transcript is required. 2011 and 2010 are optional, but are used to establish stability of income and the likelihood of future income. If you're currently over the $19,387 minimum, you should be fine.

Either way, you have to currently make at least $19,387, or you will need a co-sponsor.

(This requirement is higher if you live in Alaska or Hawaii)

no. the recent was $28k. my fiance's interview will be on Jan 7th so I guess they will not ask for 2013 since it was only first week of the month. Usually, my employer gave the w2 last week of January.

On your pay stubs, it should say YTD (year to date) income. On your most recent pay stub, what does it say?

If it says over $19,387 you should be fine. Give her that pay stub for her to bring to the interview. It shows your 2013 income.

Right now, its $18k. and my previous job was $8500 that was from jan to august only. so I should be good. But what papers do I need to ask from my previous job? so that we have a proof?
