Low petitioner income with joint sponsor for CR1 will this be a problem?

We received our I-130 approval a few days ago. I see that it will likely be several weeks before we get our case number. I want to be prepared as much as I can so I've been doing A LOT of reading here on VJ.

But there's one thing that I'm still worried about. I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask this, but if not I know the moderator will help and direct my question to the right place (they're cool like that).

My question is, I definitely don't meet the income requirements for the 125%, but we have been fortunate to find a well qualified joint sponsor. Does it matter that I'm far below the income required as long as we have a qualified sponsor? In this whole process, this is the ONE THING that worries me most.

I'm not concerned about my income level for anything but the purpose of the NVC though, because my husband has an income that will continue that is sufficient to make up the difference. But his income is essentially "inadmissible" for this process.

hi

it doesn't matter if you have low income, you can have zero income, as long as you have a qualified joint sponsor

As long as your Joint Sponsor qualifies, you not meeting the income requirements dos not matter.

Okay. Thank you both so much, it eases my mind quite a lot to have answers to these things.

If your husband's income will continue from the same source even after immigrating then you can use that to supplement your income.

And no, it doesn't matter your salary, because you can also meet the poverty guidelines through assets or a joint sponsor.
