I-134, qualifying sponsor - I hope

[eirinlinn 105]

So I ran the #'s on my w-2s from the previous three years and they are as such on the annual poverty level percentage: Last year 244%, 2018 152%, and 2017 133%. This is accounting my household size as 3. 

 

I realize that I easily qualify for sponsorship when it comes to the amount on my w2s but I know that they are going to look at my current situation and it's making me nervous. 

1.) Much of last year's income was overtime pay. I easily worked between 60-80 hours every week all of last year. I am not working the same hours until I send my I-129F form which my own personal deadline to send it is February 1st. Once I send it in I'm going to go back to working my regular hefty hours (which I like, it keeps me busy). Is it going to affect how they look at my income when they realize that a grand majority of my income comes out of my working overtime hours?

 

2.) I pay half of the mortgage according to my divorce decree; I do not pay utilities. I am currently living in a basement apartment owned by my mother/step-father free of charge and they have offered for my fiance to live here as well until I sell my home in July of this year. I pay $770 for my share of the mortgage; this is included in the copy of the divorce decree I plan to include. I also owe just under $4k ($198/mo) for my vehicle and insurance for it but that is pretty much all the bills that I have. Will this be enough of a deficit for them to ask for me to have a co-sponsor? 

 

3.) My household size is technically three because of my ex. I sponsored my ex; so he is technically a part of my 'household.' However, he is self-sufficient with a good work ethic and makes a marked amount more than I do for income and has never used public aid of any kind. He is not dependent in any way. Is this going to complicate my being able to sponsor my fiance without a joint sponsor?

 

Opinions?

Well forget the debts, not relevant for sponsorship, I am going to assume you can not show your prior spouse has naturalised or left the country so it would be 3.

 

Filing taxes is relevant, but not past income, current income for 3 is what counts and overtime can be included.

 

Consulates vary, certainly London seems disinterested, do not know about the one you are going through, be aware that the I 864 is a different beast and that will always be looked at.

 

I can not tell if you need a joint sponsor, if the numbers are close always good to have one just in case.
