Rfe sponsorship amount

[ridimic1 36]

Hello . Thanks for this forum! And every guru out here

 

A friend wants to sponsor me. He makes 30k  + last year. And will make about same dis year. e has only one dependent child. 

Can he sponsor?. Is der a minimum amount for the sponsor to make.?

 

My wife makes 14k last year.. will it combine with the sponsor?

 

Thanks in earnest

His household size sounds like it would be 3: himself, the child, and the intending immigrant. If he has other dependents (i.e. those claimed on his taxes OR other minor children even if he doesn't have custody of them), then those will need to be counted as well.

For a household size of 3, the minimum to sponsor is $25,975. Making $30k is close, but would probably be ok. The IO makes the public charge decision based on the totality of the circumstances...not just minimums.

 

You cannot combine incomes across sponsors (and an I-864A agreement can't apply to a friend).

 

Just a note: The petitioner needs to file an I-864 still.
