Affidavit of support income requirements question

[greentom 0]

On the affidavit of support they ask for income from the sponsor for the past 3 years. Must all 3 years exceed the 125% poverty line threshold? Or are they just looking to see that you exceeded it in the last year you filed taxes?

I meet the requirements for 2014, but not for 2013. Just wondering if this will be a problem.

All you can do is put the last 3 yrs income and include the most recent income and hope for the best. I think you will be fine.

According to our lawyer, USCIS requires tax returns for the past three years BUT will also look into your current income. The current income is the most important. Make sure you have a letter of employment from the employer stating your date of hire, position, rate per hour and average working hour per week. From that they will determine if you meet the 125% poverty guideline.

Yeah current and ongoing income is most important. If you are just around the poverty line, they may be concerned if the other two years are below, as it shows lack of a pattern but it also depends on why you were below.
