[kumarkitty 0]

Hi VJ members,

I received an REF from the California Service Center asking for a new physical with immunization and a new afffidavit of support.Iam through with the physical so far , but Iam still worried about the eligibility of the joint sponsor.She is my USC wife's aunt.She is single.Her annual income for 2005,2006 and her current annual income for this year is well beyond the poverty guidelines. But, she had a very low annual income for 2007 basically because she was struck by cancer and had to quit to go through Chemotherapy.Now thank God, she is cancer-free and got a good managerial job.

So, I am wondering what is the USCIS criteria for a joint sponsor eligibility? Is it about what the joint sponsor made during the last 3 years tax returns , or importance is only given to the most recent tax return(2007) , which is not good news in my case, or what matters is the evidence of actual annual income? Does anyone have a clue to this? Has anyone been through the same experience when trying to look for a joint sponsor? Should I look for another joint sponsor?

Thank you

Haven't been through joint sponsor but i know that they put more importance on income for most recent yr (in ur case it would be for 2007)...do you have anyone else that can co-sponsor along with her...not sure what you'd have to do now...good luck

Thank you so much keweul .I appreciate your response.Actually, my deadline is November 27th, and my options are really limited .and I wish they say something official about what annual income they focus so that they can save applicants and themselves waste of time and trouble.if i get another co -sponsor , would they add up their two most recent annual incomes? Thanks again and good luck too!

I would like to think so, or they can just use that other sponsor's income if it meet the income level for 2007 if not then i guess they'll add them both together..good luck
