After a I-601..... I would like to know if my husband in the U.S. is making enough to file my affidavit of support.... he lives in N.Y. with our four kids.......

Hi!

 

An I601 Waiver is often presented as an option after the CR1 (spousal) application and interview process and before you could apply for the Waiver so he would have had to submit an affidavit of support already.

 

Were you asked to resubmit the form?

Click on Is Residence in the U.S. Required for the U.S. Sponsor?

 

This will explain how to fill out this form Affidavit of Support (Form I-864 or I-864EZ)

 

I hope that is what you were asking for.

Cheers

Good question I have to check if they asked us to or not.... When my husband first  filed for my resident visa we had a friend who was my sponcer at that time .... so but now my husband wants to file as my sponcer...... but I don't know if he is making enough..... plus we have four dependent kids ...... Thank you for the response I will be reading it

For a family of six, assuming no one else is a dependent for him just yourself, him, and your four children then he needs to earn at least $42,175

You are very welcome for the response. The big important question now is: have you (the I130) been approved?

 

Given  you had a friend sponsor you at the time of the application, they are by all accounts in a binding contract with the US government for that affidavit of support. What I did find is this:

 

" Withdrawal of Form I-864 or Form I-864A. (1) In an immigrant visa case, once the sponsor, substitute sponsor, joint sponsor, household member, or intending immigrant has presented a signed Form I-864 or Form I-864A to a Department of State officer, the sponsor, substitute sponsor, joint sponsor, or household member may disavow his or her agreement to act as sponsor, substitute sponsor, joint sponsor, or household member if he or she does so in writing and submits the document to the Department of State officer before the actual issuance of an immigrant visa to the intending immigrant. Once the intending immigrant has obtained an immigrant visa, a sponsor, substitute sponsor, joint sponsor, or household member cannot disavow his or her agreement to act as a sponsor, joint sponsor, or household member unless the person or entity who filed the visa petition withdraws the visa petition in writing, as specified in 8 CFR 205.1(a)(3)(i)(A)or 8 CFR 205.1(a)(3)(iii)(C), and also notifies the Department of State officer who issued the visa of the withdrawal of the petition"

 

So where does your application land - If do the math and with your husband prefer to remove the friend, it would seem you ask the friend to write a letter stating as much and send it to the proper consulate office before you are approved and issued an actual visa.

 

For guidelines on submitting immigrant visa-related documents to consulates, see the drop-down list on this Department of State page.

 

Now if your application has been approved, with the friend on it, I am lead to believe there is no way to remove the friend and put your husband on as sole sponsor. I believe he could be added as a co-sponsor but it doesn't sound like it is needed since this would imply the application was approved with the friend.

 

I will certainly ask a friend but the short of it is removing someone and still having your application approved and move forward doesn't happen often.

 

Let me know what you find out as well,

cheers

The original i130 was rejected and I had to file a waiver ....  then they accepted my waiver and now I have to do the biometrics and the interview all over again with the medical........ but I will look into it to see if they accepted our friend  as a sponcer and now he might need to write the letter you mentioned......Thank you again HoosierEH and Illiria thank you that helped a lot to know what was the minimum amount needed......
