Hello All,

I know I am asking a lot of petty questions bu t I cannot help it. Line 19 of I-864 states "My current individual annual income is". Doe this mean the income you will earn by the end of this year or the income on your last year tax return.

I spoke with someone at NVC and they said it is your projected income for this year, but just want a confirmation from fellow VJ members...

Regards

Neither. It means your current income on an annualized basis.

I am going to need this information as well. To clarify further, say I have earned $30,000 so far (between Jan 2006 and Oct 2006). But if I have just joined a job that pays $5000/mo shall I write $60,000? Is that correct understanding Yodrak? Thanks a lot.

dougalted,

You understand correctly.

In my opinion, your current individual income means your income as of today. For example, if someone is making $20.00 per hour, then his/her current income would be 41,600 per year, assuming it is a full time job. You can find out your salary information or hourly wage from your recent pay stub. One Calculation Example:

$20.00*40*52 = 41,600 yearly income as gross income before taxes (assuming 40-hour per week and assuming work throughtout the year (52-week).

So you should write your projecting yearly income based on your current salary or hourly wage. If you have problem figuring your current yearly income, you can ask your Human Resources who can tell you yoru yearly income. Moreover, you will need to submit a letter from your employer to NVC. So your HR can figure out your current yearly income as well.
