Income Questions

[Kristymceneaney 0]

Hello I have a couple of questions regarding income? My husband and I are trying to get all of our documents together for the CR1. My question is what is the min income without having to have a co-sponser that i need to have had made in the previous 3 yrs? Also i was previous married during 2007 and we filed together will this affect anything? Thank you so much for your help.

I'm not sure if CR1 is the same as K-1 but if you don't have any kids it's $17,850 or something close to that. But when my fiance went to the Dublin embassy they only looked at the last year of income, not the last 3 years.

Also FYI, it helps to be SUPER organized. They really really like it and know you're serious. We put all our stuff in a 3 ring binder with tabbed dividers.

Check the poverty guide lines site that No Where Man gave you, then you will know for sure. You financial for the embassy is based on the last year filed for taxes, plus any other assets "if have" Best to file the 2008 ASAP, I would say.

I hope it's only for the last year. I was hardly worked in '06 and only for half of '07 (I had a baby). Here are the 2009 poverty guidelines: http://aspe.hhs.gov/poverty/09poverty.shtml

You have to make 125% of that to not need a second sponsor.

I sure hope they take into consideration CURRENT income because if they only use 2008 I am totally SCREWED. But I got a great job in December.

They did for us, I only just got my job at the beginning of August so my tax return showed below poverty level because technically I had only earned 5 months income for 2008, BUT I had a letter from my boss and my job offer with the full year's income listed, and they took it no problem. Good luck!

Hey guys, boy you Dubs are popping up a lot lately:D I'll just address you all generally and say the Dublin embassy is VERY understanding so I wouldn't worry so much about your income. As long as you have plenty of proof of a job that pays enough it doesn't matter if you've actually MADE enough yet or not. My fiance took in a signed letter on letterhead from my boss, and a copy of my job offer, along with my tax returns for 2006, 2007, and 2008 (none of which showed I had made enough money!) and they said oh yea, that's not problem at all. Also, they didn't even look at the rest of our packet, the only thing they looked at was my financial support, and they took that and kept it.

Also just FYI, Dublin sent him the financial affadavit from 2007 that requires a notary, but there's a new one that doesn't. I actually sent him back BOTH, with just the one from 2007 notarized. I think I wrote all this in the embassy review...

Good luck everyone, PM me if you have more questions!
