Visa Approved but requested for new i-134 sponsor

[mymercy 85]

My fiancee had his interview yesterday and was approved but the consular told him to get another co-sponsor cos the one we use doesnt meet up ...

Then after submitting a new i-134, then he should pick up his visa in two weeks.

Pls my question now his like how much should the sponsor has in his/her account or d after tax value?

Pls I'd like to know in value ($) and not the poverty threshold. I want a practical example of those who were approved. How do u or ur sponsor has on d tax paper.

This would help me from going back and forth.

Thanks

Look at the sponsor side and how many dependants your sponsor is for including their own and you.

And see how much is required.

And it's always before tax. And annual earnings.

But the poverty guidelines are the income requirements for the affidavit of support. Not sure why you do not want to know the poverty guidelines. How much a co-sponsor needs to earn is based on their household size and those poverty guidelines. If the co-sponsor is single with no dependents, then they would need enough current income for a household size of 2. If they are married and have 2 kids, then they would need enough for a household size of 4.

How much income they need depends on their household size and how much they currently earn. Not some set amount they have in the bank or show for their past income on their past taxes. They need to be earning enough to meet the poverty guidelines for their household size, which includes the intending immigrant. They will provide the I-134, most recent tax transcript, plus letter from employer and/or recent pay stubs to prove their current income meets the requirement.

As stated above, look at the poverty guideline requirements and you will see how much the co-sponsor must make in order to be able to be the co-sponsor. It's not exactly just what they have in their bank account and the amount is dependent on how many people there are in the household.

I just wanted to say hello!! I think you/your fiancee are the same person that I saw chatting with the VO on Nairaland! Congrats on your approval! I'm so sad that the VO is leaving soon!!!

How many in your joint sponsors household?

If your joint sponsor is going to use savings its 3 X the amount you need to meet the poverty guideline of the the household size.

So if you had a sponsor and it was just them and your fiance that's $19912 X 3=$59,736

This really helps and doused my stress ... I was confused cos it was my dad who coo-sponsor us and he has business here and a house but i guess it was the nos of dependents that made him not to meet up.

Thanks dear ... Yeah you are right that's my fiance chatting with the VO. She is a great woman and doing a very nice job out there... Nigeria is lucky to have such a forum with a great woman at the consulate.
