Avifdavit Support -

[Kanij 0]

I'm sure this topic has been discussed numerous times, I've went back a few pages to see if I saw in information but did not.

I've read the Avifdavit support tips and I'm confused a little, my situation is like this.

I moved back in with my mother when I started my university full time (to save on living expenses and rent)

I work fulltime and goto school fulltime, I would say my income is around 15,000 a year at the moment.

So with this being said. If I got my mother to co-sponsor, she would have to make up the difference. Now it says in the tips area that the Co-sponsor must have enough income for the Fiance, any children that would come, and the co-sponsors household. Would I be considered apart of that household?

Or would the co-sponsor just have to be 125% above poverty level for herself and my fiance?

Or would My Income, My mothers income count towards all 3 of us in which the poverty level for 3 people would be $22,888 roughly?

Just a bit lost any clarity would be great, thanks.

The affidavit of support is used at the consular phase, not the initial K1 phase. So you may have been looking in the wrong place for previous threads about it. I'll move your thread to the consular forum where it belongs.

You both would complete and I-134 (your mom and you)

If your income does not meet the poverty guidelines then you mothers would have to. It is not a combination of the two.

See question 8 - how many persons are dependant on her from support. That will determine the income required.

Correct. See bold above.

Ok, this is where I'm confused. If me living in her house would that classify me as being dependant on her for support? Or do they go by what she claims on her taxes as far as dependants go?

Read the question literally and answer it honestly.

Who is dependant upon the sponser for support?

Wholly?

Partially?

Or Not?

It does not ask if a dependant resides with the Sponser, it asks if a person is dependant upon to sponser for support.

The I-864 is much more defined in regards to this (that will be used later for filing AOS, but you may want to look at it now too just so you'll know what to expect later)

No, living in the house does not mean you are her dependent.
