Affidavit of support (Form I-864)

[toni_haney 0]

hello there!

I know and I've read a lot about Affidavit of Support from this site. But I wish to find an answer about our query. My husband was new in his job and started last year (June 2005). So basically he didnt complete the 12 months income for last year, but if we based on monthly salary we passed the minimum requirement from the Poverty line. And hes earning a lot now than last year.

Would you know if we still gonna need a co-sponsor since he didnt complete the 12 months or will they consider the six months since hes regular in his job and earning a lot, working at the hospital.

Thanks!

Welcome aboard:

Somebody may disagree here but I think you are fine. They really seem to concentrate on the pay stubs and employment letter.

Depends on what his 2005 taxes say...... I sent in nearly 6 months worth of employment pay stubs and a letter from my employer showing I make well over the poverty limit needed and still received an RFE asking for a co- sponsor due to my 2005 taxes being less than the poverty rate (I spent 2005 in the UK with my husband). I had sent in tax forms from 2003 and 2004 showing during those years I made well over the poverty rate as well. I was really irritated as I thought it might happen and wish I had just sent in the co- sponsor info right from the start. If there is any doubt in your mind, in my opinion it's worth just sending in the co- sponsor paperwork right from the start.

I actually called this morning about this. The lady I spoke with said that I could send 6 moths of pay stubs and I should be fine, BUT they could send a request for a co-sponsor if they deem it necessary. So I don't know exactly what to do. But that's what I was told. When I asked about a co-sponsor she said not to worry and wait untill the request one. Go figure! Good luck! Let me know what you find out.

Thanks for the inputs, I guess we really need to get a co-sponsor just to be sure and to avoid the long process.

Im sorry but what RFE means? Thanks

toni_haney,

No one can answer your question. You've provided only superficial information, many people whose information matches yours at this level of detail needed a Joint Sponsor and many other people who also match did not need a Joint Sponsor. The answer lies in the details and how the overall picture looks to the person who is evaluating the information.

RFE = Return for evidence letter from USCIS.

I want to share with you that I got a new job in June 2005 also, and my 6 months salary was well over the poverty guideline. I filed my 2005 tax return with Kim's name as my dependence. Sent in our AOS file back in Sept 2005. Never received RFE.

So, send it away!
