Alright, I have 2 jobs, one of which is as an 'independent contractor'(I deliver newspapers), the other is hourly. In addition to these I recieve child support that is NOT court ordered. I've read previously that for the I-134 they're going to want my gross income, not my net which makes a huge difference as at year end I claim a substantial mileage deduction(this is great for taxes, but really cruddy for loan apps..mortgage lender took nearly 20 dollars a day out of my income..yeouch) All in all I'm hovering right at that 125% mark, over by the skin of my teeth taking a minimalist view of things, meaning very few hours at hourly job.

I do realize in advance they're going to kind of look at this peculiar financial arrangement pretty hard. I have a co-sponsor already lined up that's well over the requirements. In addition my honey has a flat he'll be selling that he has substantial equity in. Suggestions on how best to plan representing all this?

If your uncertain, or very close I would use the co-sponser since you have one lined up just to be sure. The more you can show the better off you'll be. Doesn't mean you will get denied if your right at the poverty guideline, but better to be safe than sorry. :thumbs:

When I filed the I-134, I counted my child support as income. I work two jobs, but both are hourly jobs. I also used money that I have in my savings account as well, which put me well over the 125% mark. Hope this helps. :)

The benefits of a co-sponsor depends on which Embassy/Consulate you'll be going through. I know the Phillipines frowns upon them.

:time:

By clicking on your profile I see you're going through the UK. Please keep in mind that the 125% is a definite for the I-864 you'll be filing for AOS and just a general guideline for the I-134, not a 'rule'.

I'm worried about not being able to use the child support as income as it's isn't court ordered..I have time enough to copy checks before cashing them. I'm hesitant to go through court proceedings as I'm paid on time and it would cause bad feeling(my ex is odd that way).

I thought I had filled out my timeline sorry. Going to be going through London.
