Minimum income .. (merged threads)

[B&DT 5]

Im a bit confused or at least uncertain of the minimum requirement of income.

 

The numbers stated on the gov. site ... are they included the 125% or do i take the amount and put 125% on top ??

[Timona 4,207]

The former

Im in chock right now! 

My Husbands income fir yesr 20 and 21 was 70k, but due to illness 22 is much lower  but still meet minimum requirement and is over at 26k for 2022.

In another forum everybody says that NVC most likely will require a joint sponsor despite qualifying income requirement. Is this true ?? 

Im heartbroken right now - we have no way of getting a joint sponser in anyway.

Anybody here has that experience? 

(My husband is alone in his household, do we look at min. income for 1 or 2 persons (2 would include me) ??

OK.  What he made in the past is not important.  What he is earning now is king.  His CURRENT annual income is important.  Current annual income is determined as follows:

 

Gross income from most recent pay period multiplied times the number of pay periods per year = CURRENT ANNUAL INCOME.   Recent pay-stubs can serve as evidence.

Example:  If he currently earns $1,000 per week, his current annual income is $52,000. 

 

I don't anticipate an issue based on your comments.

Oh so when asked recent paystubs will work ?

I hope so, just seems completely crazy having a minimum criteria and then not accepting it even when over that limit.

Thank you so much for answering

Are you DQ at NVC?  If so, he csn complete an updated I 864 and you csn take it to the interview along with the pay stubs etc. if not yet DQ.. wait and see if there is an RFE.. and how it us worded. He should  file 2022 tax asap and ensure you have the pay stubs in hand.  
 

What did he put for current income in the I864 .. or is that still to be completed and uploaded  ?

Minimum income is just that.. minimum .. not guaranteed.. the IO considers the totality of your sponsors position not just income

listening to others would give anyone a headache

 

USCIS sets the standards

 

• there is a site for totality of circumstances that affects the petition u can look at to see if any of these affect u/  otherwise put your mind to rest

Once you get to NVC, He will complete the I864 and use his current income .. payslips  as documentation. 
 

breathe.  I know its not easy.. i had my own pure panic moments during our immigration journey .. but we made it .. and so will you. 
 

This is a great resource and v useful to read read and reread in preparation  for the NVC stage
