Senior citizen/Veteran income guidelines?

[Mr Trav 15]

Hi all...

My father is 72 and a veteran with social security and a military disability pension. All adds up to about 19,700 a year. He is looking at sponsoring a fiance visa. Do the income guidelines equally apply to veterans and seniors? It seems to me, under normal rules, he is shy a few hundred dollars of the poverty level. Suggestions, insights?

Guidelines do not discriminate

Yep.  Otherwise it would be discriminatory against those who are younger and/or not veterans.

 

Suggestion would be for him to find a co-sponsor.

Well you are looking at 2020 requirements probably, could you joint sponsor?

 

Does beg the question how he can support a wife on that income.
