First of all my both kids are US citizens.

secondly if someone has job out of US, and earning less than  $90,000 they no need to file a tax only if we earn more than $90,000 then we need to file a tax above 90,000 whatever is amount we file tax and tax returns.
third if US citizen spend 365 days out of US then again no tax.

we are filing only because of our immigration they need these requirements. Me and my husband never lived here. Never got any benefits.

why we have medical cause my husband has no job since September. That’s why my question was if we have medical benefit so can still my husband apply for me or not. Of course for this yr our tax will be very low but above $40,000, 86000 was for 2016.

Actually your wrong there because if you are working outside the USA then you are REQUIRED to file a tax return with IRS if you are a USC or a GC holder. There is no tax on the first $92,500(last I checked) but you still need to file for taxes. I worked 3 years overseas in the Middle East so I am well aware of what someone needs to do to be compliant with the IRS. I went 2011living  completely out of the USA and I still had to pay taxes on all that I earned that year.

 

 

If you are using benefits for the USC children then you are fine.

Yeah that’s why i told already we filed a tax every year what we earn out of US. You are right and understood about my tax part. We are doing the same what you wrote.

So how are you getting any benefits with that income?

I believe she states above that her husband has not been working since September so their eligibility could be based on current income, which might be close to zero.

US citizens are always required to file tax return. Look at the back of the US passport if you have any doubts. $90,000 is a limit below which no tax needs to be paid in US if it has been paid in other country and that country has treaty agreement with US on double taxation. You or he should be filing return because it's a requirement of every US citizen, not because of immigration.

 

If you're claiming medical benefits saying you have no job or US income but made $86k elsewhere, it looks like a scam... And that $86k income elsewhere and no job in US would not allow him to sponsor you, he needs to be making over poverty limit and be employed right now, not show he made it during the year - unless you decide to use the assets.

Did not see this specifically addressed, but you will need an affidavit of support

your husband's OUS income will not be acceptable evidence that he can support you, the income needs to be current

he needs to get a job or you need someone else to sponsor

You need both an attorney and a CPA with international experience.  Your use of need based benefits for your children is a problem. Your failure to properly file taxes is a problem.

US citizen children = no problem getting need based benefits as they are entitled to them.
