Me and my wife are having a hard time finding a co-sponsor. I would like to sponsor her myself but I don't know if I'm able to. I am currently unemployed due to a vehicle accident but am receiving long-term disability pay. About $39,000 a year. Our household will only be the two of us. Would this be enough for me to sponsor her myself even with me being unemployed?

I think that so long as your income (disability pay in this case) is 125% above the poverty line for a household of two, you should be okay.

That would be fine as long as it's not a means tested benefit, which I assume it isn't because of the amount. You would need to prove that income is current; income like this is best proven in the form of a letter.

This does not constitute legal advice.
