[youngman2013 3]

Just a quick question. The cosponsor receives allowances that are not taxable.can it be included as part of his income?

Because the taxable income alone doesn't meet the poverty guidelines.help please

The income is indicated on the tax transcripts submitted with the 864. Income is income whether its taxed or not isnt really the issue here.

SO the co sponsor filed 2013 tax as married filing jointly with the spouse. my question is since the total income reflecting on the tax transcript includes that of the spouse, which is 57,076:

on part 6 (que 5). should i subtract his income from the total and put it there or what?

and also does it mean i have to include the spouse as "income from person who was counted in your household? person 1 6a?

please help!

hi

no, he need to do the i864 and attach not only the taxes but copies of his w2's. it needs to be his exact individual income as he earned

if he is combining his income with his spouse, then he fills out the i864 and his wife the i864A, if not then he doesn't put any of his spouse's income on his i864. only his individual income, the taxes and W'2s

[youngman2013 3]

Thanks

I agree with aleful. He has to prove his share of the income, which would be proved with the w2 and the pay stubs/employment letter. The income has to be filled out properly so that you don't get a checklist asking for the I-864A. People often times neglect this crucial part and receive one. Also remember that he has to make enough for his household size (includes wife, children, and certain others) and your spouse even if he won't be combining his income with his wife.

[youngman2013 3]

So his household is 3 plus my spouse will be 4 and his share out of the 57,076 is over 32000 so I guess he qualifies!

Since the poverty guidelines for a household of 4= $29,892

It depends. Disability is often not allowed, but other non-taxable incomes such as a income on deployment, SS income etc, is allowed.

In I-864 the very important part is PART 6, item 13.a.

where co- sponsor has to mention his or her annual income, which is line no. 22 of 1040

or if your co-sponsor is filling with 1040EZ then it is line no. 4

if this income is above 125% of poverty guideline then you can go ahead.

if it is not above 125% poverty guideline your co-sponsor add assets to the income ( his allowance) which must be above 125% of poverty guideline. He can mention that in PART 7, with all the proof of his allowances.

Don't forget to add pay stubs and W-2 and 1040 IRIS transcript of both sponsor and co-sponsor. Call NVC to confirm before you send paper work.

Hope this is helpful to you.

Please confirm this with NVC. I am providing this detail based on my understanding

Also you can go through the instructions of I-864.

Why aren't you properly answering this person? That's not the answer and it is weird, a small error in I-864 can cost 60 days of delay.

His co-sponsor can mention about his allowances in PART 7 of I-864, because it is additional source of income other than what he mention in 1040 or 1040EZ to bring his income more than 125% poverty guideline. His co-sponsor has to produce all the related document about allowance after mentioning that income in I-864.

NOTE : If co-sponsor income is lower than 125% guideline and provided co-sponsor has additional source of income or any assets, co-sponsor can mention that in PART 7 ( supplement income) and this part is optional. In addition to this, if co-sponsor is using any other person to show any kind of income in I-864 then that person has to fill I-864A ( and submit it with all the necessary paper work such as w-2s and employment proof and asset related document of that person). Hope it is clear.

any income is not income. For your knowledge if you are entering gross income instead of net annual income in PART 6; item 13.a, NVC will not accept your application and will give you checklist to correct it. Correct income is line no. 22 of 1040 and if anyone is filling 1040EZ then it is line no. 4.

as NLR said if he is getting allowances from disability it is not allowed. It depend what kind of allowances it is. Better you take legal advice or you can call NVC regarding this matter. But as per my understanding additional income your co-sponsor can mention in PART 7.

or else best way you find other co-sponsor with suitable income, which might not be possible and I can completely understand the situation.

When referring to an I-864, joint sponsor is the proper term, not co-sponsor.

You seem to just want to run your mouth. You are not here to become a critic I hope because you aren't qualified to do so.

Most of what you said is either incorrect or simply a copy of what is available to anyone that can read or you have a parrot complex in an effort to sound informed.

Did you for example read what Ryan said? Its ISNT co sponsor which you used many times in your effort to sound informed.

Your comments about assets is incorrect as well. Assets must be liquid to be considered which makes your answer again incorrect and weird.

Income should be reflected on transcripts. Income is income no matter where it came from when it comes to ability to support. I didn't know that disability income wasn't allowed until Ryan brought it up and neither did you.

Hope its clear? LOL

Now this is really weird. However I think I know why the response isn't " properly answered ". Arrogance is dangerous.

It basically comes down to the response amounts to guessing so just read the instructions and then call NVC.

I hope the OP understands there are many errors in this info. Assets for example must be liquid to be considered.
