good evening

i have a concern about the obligation concerning the Affidavit of support

i sponsored my wife last year and my income was above the poverty line and this year we file the tax jiontly and it drops below the poverty line income

does this will affect her status or my status on USA? since we are both permanant resident and i have already sign a affidavit of support which means maintaning the income above the povery line

should i have all coming years the income above the poverty line ? or just the time i sponsored her

thank you guys for your help or any useful information

I have a concern too.. maybe someone have the same experience. Thank you!

My husband is currently going to school using the Post 9/11 GI Bill and is receiving a monthly housing stipend of $2292. I wanted to know if this is considered income that can be used for the visa process? He's been going to school since November 2013 and will continue going to school for the next few years.

No. It won't matter to her status in the US. They don't re-test you. The existing I-864 obligations will continue to be in place, whether you continue to make the required amount or not.

Start your own thread. Don't hijack another poster's thread with an unrelated question.

Addressing different issues creates confusion.
