sponsorship is insufficient...will have to reduce the no. of my family members migrating with me?

[glowingangel 0]

we 5 of us r migrating...my petitioners annual income is $ 48,665 ( his house hold has already 3 members) and joint sponsors income is $42,000 (his household as just himself)

we fear that income will be insufficient so we have decided to withdraw 2 of my family members

my question is can the visa application of some of the members of principal applicants family be withdrawn after I have filed DS 260 for all of them but now some of them cant make it because of insufficient sponsorship frm USA ?

if yes what will be the cosequence? will I have to file a petition again for the rest after i go to US ?

5 immigrants + sponsor = household of 6. The required income level for a household of 6 is $40,712. So an income of $42,000 would be sufficient.

isn't that the income of the sponsor should be 125 % of the poverty guidline for the particular house hold....accordingly it comes out to be $50,890 which is insufficient because because we have already sent the affidavit listing all 5 immigrants in joint sponsors affidavit and they say its still insufficient.!!

now we have decided that each of the sponsor may sponsor 2 of us nd the remaining 1 person may give up his visa.?..

Household of 3 + 5 immigrants = 8. No it's not.

Find another joint sponsor for some family members.

[NigeriaorBust 4,087]

You should be able to another joint sponsor. You can have sponsor A for you and wife and child 1 and another for the other 2 children. Each sponsor must make enough to support their family and people that are immigrating. A family group can have no more than 2 total joint sponsors

If am reading correctly the Op said, 5 intending immigrants, plus sponsor with household 3 and one co-sponsor which totals 9. So the combined income of over $100K should be sufficient no?

No. The petitioners can only combine income with household members. The petitioners can not combine income with Joint Sponsors.

My brother from Pakistan,

No reason to leave your children behind. Simply divide the family between the petitioner and the Joint Sponsor.

The petitioner makes $48,665. That is enough for a household of 7. Since petitioner has a household of 3, he/she can be the I-864 sponsor for up to 4 immigrants.

The JS makes $42,000 which is enough for a household of 6. Since he has a household of 1, he can sponsor up to 5 immigrants.

Divide the immigrants between the petitioner and JS.

There is enough income for all of you to immigrate. It would be extremely foolish to withdraw the DS-260s.

Best of luck.

Your brother from Vietnam.

Thank you Aaron2020. In essence I concur with what u have suggested but I used the wrong terminology when I said join should have been split.

Your breakdown is on point.
