I-134: Who Are The Household?

[Terry&Tigger 4]

Hello everyone

Now, how do we count the household to make sure the petitioner's annual income is above the 125% line?

Adding up all the current dependents listed in 2009 tax return only? Do we include the petitioner himself? Do we include the beneficiary too?

And the income we are looking at is the number claimed in line 22 of 2009's Form 1040, right?

Thanks and a smooth visa journey to you...

The petitioner, the beneficiary and all dependants in general but you need to read Part 5 of the I-864 instructions over carefully to see who all would need to be included in your particular case..

I believe you use the Adjusted Gross Income which would be from line 37 of the 1040.

Current income would only come from the tax return (line 22 not 37) for a self employed person. Otherwise, current income is current income. Use the current annual salary or the hourly rate times 2080 hours.
