I864A if they have not filed taxes together

[gulkhan 18]

I have a few questions. My husband interview is coming up next month. I’m in Pakistan with my husband and our baby. I been here since the last three months. I left my job in September. My sister will be my joint sponsor and her husband will complete i864A.
1. They have not filed taxes together yet, husband just moved to US and got a job? 

2. I had good income in the last few years but  currently not working will that affect our chances of him getting a visa?

2. Is 41000 good income for a joint sponsor, her husband and my husband? 

If the joint sponsor’s husband never filed taxes what documents should he provide with i864A? 
again her husband just moved to the US last month and got a part time job and is willing to combine income with wife to sponsor my husband.

I was not able to see it in the thread I posted.  I need the post to be in the progress and procedures not the progress and reports section. How do I move to that one?

You can't combine your brother in -law's income with your husband's.

 

Yes, not working will affect your chances of him getting a visa, as will you not being domiciled in the United States.

 

I suggest you read the I-864 form to get a better idea of the requirements.

Each joint sponsor must qualify on their own income, they cannot combine it unless it's a married couple.

They are married. Plus her income is good enough on her own but since ge got a job and it will make the total household income more that’s why I asked.  The only problem is they have not filed taxes together yet as he just moved there and got ssn etc.

What do you mean by that? If it is combining income from two families to sponsor, it doesn't work that way.

 

Each sponsor should make above poverty line (125%)

Yes, the joint sponsor's husband should provide the I-864a even if they have never filed jointly.  It's the ONLY way to count his income with hers.  Note that income is stated two places on the form.  One is numbers from past tax returns.  The other is "current income".  You calculate current income, by multiplying the gross income on a full pay period pay stub, but the number of pay periods in a full year.  1k a week is 52k a year, for example.  State each of their current incomes separately, and the forms will total it.  Nothing special from the non-tax filing husband.  What is needed is in the instructions.  Become an A-Student of that document before proceeding.
