Income required on affidavit of support

[AMIT J 2]

Thanks to VJ for the helpful topics, because of which my USCIS has approved the case and has been sent to NVC.

 

I am trying to figure out, what is the income required on the Affidavit of Support. I am self employed. I haven't filed my taxes yet.

 

Any help would be appreciated!

The minimum income level required is based upon your circumstances, primarily being your household size. Note that household size is not the same as the number of people you live with.

Edit: COs from some consulates go by the 125% level and others the 100% level for a K-1 visa.

 

The CO will make a decision on the public charge concern based upon a totality of the circumstances, not just minimums. There is no income level that guarantees success, but common sense is usually a good indicator.

 

As a self-employed individual, your current income is evidenced via your most recent year's tax return. Assuming you filed an extension, that would be your 2017 taxes. If you didn't file an extension, then you have no evidence of current income until you do file.
