Income Requirements

[mhne 0]

If my fiance has 2 minor children who would be coming to the US with her, would I as the petitioner have to show enough income to qualify for a household of 4, per poverty guidelines, or does this requirement only pertain to my current household size in the US, which is just a household of one (myself)?  My petition was just approved and we're awaiting for the package to be acknowledged by the NVC, and my fiance would be interviewing at the Manila Consulate, Philippines.

 

 

Thanks

Yes

I understand it that they need you to prove to them that your income is high enough to provide a family of 4. So yes it would be for the 4 of you.

Go to Philippines Section and find out if they are requiring the affadivat of support, I know for a few years they were not requiring it.

 

But if required you would need to show household size of 4

 

If you don't qualify Manila has always accepted Co-Sponsors in the past. Some will say it's a case to case basis but I haven't seen that personally, it's always been accepted.
