I-864 Poverty Guideline Class based on what $ amount

[viktoria 0]

Hello,

I have question again. Thank you in advance.

I am sponsoring my mom , on form I -864 in my case the Poverty Guideline Class is $25 000

On question 23. My current individual annual income is $34 000 but

on question 25 Federal Income Tax return information they ask for adjusted gross income based on IRS Form 1040EZ

2008 $26 000

2007 $24 000

2006 $25 500

Since my adjusted gross income in previous year was under $ 25 000 I am concerned.

Do they compare the Poverty Guideline Class in this case $ 25 000 w/ my current individual income or w/ my adjusted for the prevoius years, or all of it. If all of it I can use my husbands income too. Can`t decide to use just my income or both of us in the household.

Please advise

You posted this to "Bringing family members of US citizens to America" forum which has to do with bringing children, Parents, or Siblings to the USA. Who are you sponsoring??

Is your husband a resident of the USA? If so the you can add his income to yours, he will provide an I-864A as a member of your household.

As I said in my first post I am sponsoring my mom. I know I can use my husbands income but I don`t want if I am OK w/ my individual income, that`s why I was asking if NVC compares the Poverty Guideline Class w/ my current annual income or w/ the gross adjusted income in question 25.

Please advice

Thank you
