Is this roughly $13,000 USD amount before or after taxes? The income that counts is what she receives before taxes.

If she's been working full-time all the time for the past three years and has been making 10.50 an hour the whole time, 13,000 cannot be her income before taxes.

ok john_and_marlene thank you so much and its nice of you to prive all this help . yet i can't understand the matter fully

also i dont know the diffrence between poverty guidlies and that of 13,690 is the poverty line. For the I-864 your income must be 125% of the poverty line $17,113.?

Did you read my comment, hanout? If she's working full-time at 10.50, her income is much more than 13,000 USD.

Income below $13,690 is considered poverty. To be able to sponsor you, your wife must be at least 25% above the US poverty line. 25% of 13,690 is 3422.50. $13,690 plus $3422.50 is $17,112.50 - the amount required to sponsor an immigrant for a two person household.

Ask your wife what her income is before taxes. And please reply to me.

I have read this now and yes, I agree with you "Margotdarko." If she is working full time at $10.50 per hour, then her income, $21,840 is enough. If her income before taxes is $13,000, then she makes $6.35 per hour. So we need to have correct information before we can answer the question.
