Sponsor question

[AroojandAmin 7]

Hi all, 

In 2019 I sponsored my mother to immigrate to the US and now she is a green card/permanent resident living with me. 
In Feb 2020, I got married to my husband in Pakistan. 
In 2017, 2018 and 2019 I made an average of $79k per year at my government job. ($99k/yr in 2019). 
I am now preparing the CR-1 application and wanted to know : 
Is my income enough to sponsor my husband on my own or do I need a co-sponsor?

does the USCIS care if you have previously sponsored your parent before and are responsible for them financially and prevent them from becoming a public charge? 
please share. 
thank you so much in advance.

The answers to all your questions are contained in the I 864 form and instructions.  Best to read them. In short 

yes should be acceptable  

no joint sponsor needed if 1 is yes 

yes .. they very much care

They "care" in that people previously sponsored and now Green Card holders, DO count in the sponsor's household size when sponsoring additional immigrants.  Second study of the instructions and the form itself.  All those questions are answered in those two documents.

You don't submit the sponsorship (I-864) later in the process.

 

For the income requirements refer to I-864p and the appropriate I-864/I-864w form

You are now preparing a petition for alien relative.  The visa application comes after that petition is approved.  Whether you will qualify to sponsor your spouse will depend on your current income at the second stage of the process, something like a year from now.

Yes it’s the second step. First I need to submit the I 130 and I 130a

Yes I will do so but was wondering. Even with my mom living with me, it makes us a household of 2 people which will still put me above the income limits.

Your household size would be three.  You, the intending immigrant and your mother you already sponsored.

Apology accepted. Please refrain from asking rude personal questions. People don’t always have straight cut timelines. There is a lot life can throw in between.

I am sorry but that wasn't meant to be rude, at all. I was just confused how was the POE was 2011 when you just got married. (Until I saw this post.) Please do not take any offense for that. It was just a question out of curiosity. Love ❤️
