affidavit of support quetion

[Zs10102 36]

Hello everyone i have a quick question that i need help on, so basically my wife will have interview in max 4-6 month for her IR1 visa at the embassy in pakistan and i already submitted the affidavit of support (AOS), however we know have a son and he already has his USA passport from the embassy in pakistan, so would he count as a person on my AOS or no? I think only my wife counts as part of the AOS, please correct me if im wrong. Im asking because i might need a joint sponsor if my son also has to be included in my AOS and i dont want anymore delays me and my wife have already been waiting almost 4 years, thanks for the help everyone. @pushbrk

He doesn't count as an immigrant.  You count him as a dependent.  The income requirement for you will be based on a household of three, if he is the only child.

Even if i didnt claim him on my 2022 taxes? He doesnt have a SSN so i couldnt claim him on my taxes, so in this case what would i do? I met thr income requirements for my wife in 2020,2021, but not 2022 because of my child. So would i get a new sponsor now? Or joint sponsor? Thank you Sir.

Your son is your dependent.  The truth is what the truth is.

 

You are always the primary sponsor. If you don't qualify now, you'll need a qualified joint sponsor.

Sounds like there will be no visa without one, so no, they won't "mind".

You'll need to update your own affidavit of support while you're at it.  Be sure to list your child as a dependent and update your tax and current income information along with documentation of same.
