Oh interesting, I thought I had to provide proof of income at the time I filed the forms. I recently got a new job back in February so I was holding off on filing any forms until I could prove my sufficient income with tax returns. Because I thought THAT'S when I needed to show it. But going by what you said, it seems I can go ahead and start the paperwork without having to worry about showing proof of the sufficient income. Thanks!

Okay that helps a lot. I was worried that since there were all these people living in the house it counted towards MY "household". Thank you so much for your help!

I don't claim dependents on my taxes. but what I'm asking is if my income alone has to cover the other people in my household plus my fiance. So basically do I need to have an annual income of around 50k to make this work? Everyone in my household has their own jobs and makes their own income without claiming any dependents.

Hello, all. I apologize if this seems a dumb question but I'd like to get some advice before starting any procedures towards the US government. So, there are currently 4 people living in my household. And when I sponsor my immigrant fiance there will be 5 total. My question is about the income requirements, does MY individual income need to be able to sustain the 5 people (including my fiance), or does the entire household need to produce that total income together? I was originally under the impression that only I (as the individual sponsor) would need to be able to make enough money annually to sustain myself and my fiance, but the whole "household" term now has me questioning everything. Sorry if this sounds confusing, and thank you in advance for any helpful responses.
