HELP Is a joint/household sponsor needed?

[Matatu 4]

I started working in June 2021 ($60k). Will be at the NVC in a couple of weeks, what will i put for "My current individual annual income" on form i-864?? 

1. Do i put 60k?

2. Do i put what im expected to earn by end of year (June-Dec i.e. about $30K) which will be on the W2

3. Has anyone else been in the same situation? if so, WHAT DID YOU DO?

Take the salary figure in your latest paystub.  Multiply salary for pay period x number of pay periods per year.  That's what you should put as your current annual income on the I-864.

So that would be $60k right? because salary fig x pay period = $60k......thats what i was asking

If you took a job yesterday paying 60k then that is your current income.  Chancy just gave you the way to calculate the exact dollar figure from the pay stub you'll be sending in to document "current income".

ok, thanks for your response. So in short it should be $60k current income?

It should be the gross pay times the number of pay periods in a full year.

Ok, so working for just half the year shouldn't be an issue?

Also i have a potential household sponsor, now they are married but filed taxes single. If i went ahead with them, would it affect anything? or would i also need another 864a from her spouse?

You could use that as a backup plan.  If you do, yes, it is best practice to include an I-864a from the spouse.  I'm confused though.  Why did she file as single?  Is her spouse living in another country?

incompetent tax people messed them up, would this be an issue?

An issue that can be fixed by filing an amended return.
