hhs poverty guidelines 2016? or 2017?

[j N j 50]

I need to research this for my own petition, Im on SSDI for the last 10 years, which shows NO income for tax return purposes., I do own my home which is paid in full. Just wondering if a co-sponsor will be needed.

Provide your 1099 forms for every year since on disability.

As long as you are over the HHS guidelines, you are fine.

 

SSDI is allowable income

SSI is not.

 

100% is required for the initial K1 application. Once that is approved and a visa is issued, your income required for adjustment of status (once you are married) will be 125% of the HHS guidelines.

 

Hope this helps!

it does make sense to me, Thanks. The confusing part is when the $$% is thrown in to mix.

The way I read it, it has to be 125% regardless.. 100% is for sponsors of the US Armed forces.  The next question is: family size.. what it is now, or what it will be once the beneficiary arrives?

 I understand. Basically 100% is just the poverty line and 125% is slightly above the poverty line. Don't worry so much about the percentages just worry about the income level associated with the percentage. 100% for the fiancée visa 125% as for the adjustment of status, after the visa is granted, after you are married and living in the states.

Yes,  however you are below the 125%. Can you pick up part time work to boost your income? I know you can only work a very limited number of hours when you're on SSDI. Stay well with in the income guidelines for SSDI so you don't lose those benefits. 

 

 it would be awful to get through the fiancé process and then be denied adjustment of status to allow your wife to stay in the states simply because your income did not meet the requirements. You may have to get a cosponsor or think of additional ways to meet that income guideline..

I know sometimes if you have an asset they will take that into consideration but I believe that is a very complicated route to go but I know nothing about it so I don't want to speak on it.

Been looking for p/t work, but its rather difficult with my restrictions. Its not the hours that are limited, it the amount of $$ earned from finding work. I do have a co-sponsor in mind which shouldnt be a problem. How does any assets come into play if income isnt enough?

Just received our NOA 2 approval for fiance' visa. I'm a single household and I've been earning $ 24,000 net per year, will this be enough or would I  still be needing a joint affidavit? Any advice will be greatly appreciated.  Thanks in advance.

For the two of you the guideline is $ 20,300, so yes, your income of $ 24,000 meets that.
Unless you are self employed and have taken a lot of deductions which brought line 22 on the tax return under the guidelines.
