I-864

[josh125 2]

Hey guys,

I know I have a few months to go before my I-130 will be approved, so just using the time to do some research.

In 2011 my husband did not make enough money due to an injury he sustained and was unable to work. however he DID file his taxes.

Will my husband need a joint sponsor even though his income for 2013 and 2012, is over the 125% poverty guideline?

Thanks in advance guys.

Hi there,

Your husband would not need a joint sponsor. He is only required to prove that his current income is above the 125% poverty guideline.

It's always a good idea to include copies of recent paystubs and/or a letter of employment confirming his position and salary.

Don't forget to have your husband request the IRS transcrîpts for the past 3 tax filing years - you can do this online at

My husband had a lower income in 2010-2011 but he has been well above the 125% since then. No need to worry

They will not look at 2011 tax information.

You only need the transcript from the last filing year (2012) the other two transcripts are optional. You right down your income if any, for 2011 and 2010. The paystubs and letter of employment is a plus, you should include them.
