Asking employer for annual income

[VladS500 11]

Hey guys I finally got a job about to start Monday and my fiancee is ready for her interview I sent her out all of the w's and my taxes from 2011-till this year. The officer signed the paper stating i have 3,675 in my bank account my question is would it be okay to ask my employer now to ask how much I will make in a year my pay rate will be from 11-14 an hour depending on the site.

If you're paid hourly and it is variable, depending on the site and potential overtime, then your employer may not be able to give you an accurate yearly income. However, they have a budget for your position which should cover the minimal, though they may not divulge this information.

I would take the average value and multiply it by 2080, which is the number of hours used to account for a full time position.

You ask your employer to complete a letter stating position, pay rate and expected hours--i.e. full-time verses part-time. If you are full-time hourly you can take your pay rate and multiply it by 2080 for the number of work hours in a year to get an annualized income. Otherwise have the employer state your hours per week and then multiply that by 52 and your pay rate to come up with an annualized salary.

As long as the previous years were greater than 125% of the poverty level and the current job is too, you have nothing to worry about at all. If only the current job is greater than the 125% of the poverty level, you should be fine without a co-sponsor, but that does depend on the CO.

Good luck,
