Shouldn't be a problem because it is based on income so even disability checks are income. Her last tax return at 60K is good. Include the employer's letter about her return to work.

Basically, your employer letter should state "To whom it may concern: (first name,last name) has been employed
full-time with the XYZ Company since 200_ as a (name of your job), and is an employee in good standing with an
annual salary of $XXXX. Signed, John Doe, Supervisor (or whatever title)" The letter should be on company
letterhead. http://www.visajourney.com/forums/index.ph...mp;page=support

I think as long as your sis provides the required info, you should be ok. If she is receiving income, then it will be included. If she has plans to return to work, maybe her boss can write a letter stating the day she anticipates to return to work and what her hourly wage is along with how many hours a week she works. May, just a suggestion, they can add how long she has been employed there so they can see job stability.

The issue is how much of her last years income was from disability - is it enough to disqualify her from sponsoring? Secondly, will she continue to get disability as a form of income.

If you can demonstrate the disability income is neglible and she has sufficient means of income from a regular job, it may be ok to still use her as joint sponsor.

hello guyz, thank you for your answers. my sis back to work last june 25th 2008 with employer letter stating she started to work there since 2002. they put her hourly rate and her income last year is 60k plus she have 12k in her bank. so we put all that in AOS. is the disability since shes on in last 3 months counts as public charge? please help ty..

the disability will not count as a public charge. It was maternity leave, so it will not count against her.
