It is a minimum - the consulate will determine it's adequacy based on your petition

Where did you file th eI-130?

Attention to detail is required if you want to navigate the immigration process on your own. You will run into bigger problems than reading a chart, so please take some time and effort if you want to succeed.

1) You know that you do not file the I-864 with the petition and you are not filing anything with USCIS.  You need to read the guides and understand them if you are going to be doing this yourself.

2) You will need to meet exceptional circumstances to file DCF unless you are military.

3) $21,775 is the minimum.  The consulate could say it needs to be more. This is  called the totality of circumstances.   They won't say it is less.   USCIS and Department of State forms are very literal.  You need to read it that way.  Multiple times the answer ahs been give as to the minimum.  It is in I-864P

4) If you are getting hung up on this right now then I  hope you have already thought thru what it will take to show that you are re-establishing your domicile.

In order to get he visa you must prove to the consulate that you have either re-established your domicile in US or you are entering the US with your spouse.  You will be asked to show that you have filed your US income taxes and show any things you have done to maintain your domicile, like vote,maintainn property,  pay bills etc.

Don't be surprised if the CO invites you into the interview as well.  We can't help you there so you better know your stuff.  I was asked back the afternoon of my wife's interview.  The CO went over my travel, how we met, my income, assets, work, my house in Arizona, my kid, my divorce, why we were living in Mexico what are plans for living together were . . .  Doing a successful DCF is much more detailed then the stateside filing and you are on your own to do the scheduling and to figure things out. 

 

I am presuming that you will use the "Immediate return for Work" as the exceptional circumstance.   So you will need that documented in your request for DCF.

It is, but it is frustrating to read your responses, which appear to indicate that you are not comprehending what others are telling you, or even making an effort to understand it.  If you are struggling with the information, you may be one of the few who would benefit from an immigration attorney, vs DIY.

 

This process requires that you educate yourself.  People here will help, but they won't sugar-coat or spoon-feed you.

VisaJourney is DIY - Do-It-Yourself.  It's not do it with us.  We help.  We don't do it with you.  It's your journey and your responsibility if you choose to Do-It-Yourself.

 

We can only guide.  We can't do it with you or for you.  

 

The I-864p chart does not require you to do math.  In the chart that you were given, 100% of the poverty line for a household of two is $17,420 and 125% of the poverty line for a household of two is $21,775.  You are not required to do math.  125% of $17,420 is $21,775.  They give you the answers.  You don't do any math.  

This amount is just the minimum amount.  The US Embassy will make a determination if the I-864 requirements are met by a Totality of Circumstances.  

DIY immigration to the US requires a LOT of research by independently reading on your own and the ability to understand things.
