Hi everyone.

So im currently living with my mom and her husband and their two kids, How much money would we have to make to be able to bring my husband to live with me here (United states, hes from dominican republic), (moving out once he comes) and with that being said my mom will be my co sponsor, would she have to go to Dominican republic as well if she is my cosponsor?

Oops forgot to mention that we will be filing for a CR1 visa.

Please and thank you.

The standard reply will be that you need 125% above the poverty line, blah, blah. But what does that really mean??

It does not mean peace, love and happiness. Just like "minimum wage" will not provide you a nice life in the USA.

So, we need to look at ourself in the mirror and have a reality check.

When our foreign spouse is flying on that Boeing 747 into our arms, we really need to have $10K CASH in the bank, to be able to know we are ready for that person.

Yes, I stand by that amount and will take on any challengers questioning it.

Everything is SO expensive here, and preparing for the AOS and ROC ain't cheap. When we go out to dinner and movie and mall, we must pay for two, and the $$ goes OH! so fast.....

We know you will be ready, too.

Peace.

You will need to earn enough for a 2 person household (you and the immigrant) which is currently $18,387.

Your mother will need to earn enough for her household size (4) plus the immigrant (so 5 total). The amount of that is: $32,712
