I-864 how to get that done

[ilovemaya 0]

Ok im trying to get tru the I-864, we r 6 member household so we need to come up with $37.487. My husband now has a job that makes him $ 20.000 but he only has that job for few months. Last year he was in and out of job. So I put in his income $ 20.000, but they will see from his W-2s that he didnt even made this much last year. So how do they count it? R they countin it out from the income i put in or figurin out from the W-2s?

thank you all ahead for any help!

Paystubs and a letter from the employer prove current income.

mayb i didnt asked right...i know that paystubs n letter from emplyer prove income. But i would like to know how do they figur the income out there at the embassy? Do they only look at and count what i put in there as income? Or they base themself off of whats on your W-2 forms? Sorry if this is a stupid question just trying to understand. Cuz if my husbands puts in there hes earnin 20.000 now...they cant base themself off of that since its not what hes been making for past tax year..only what he makes now past few months...if last year was very bad n he didnt make much...then how do they count it to know if hes eligable or not?

You will need a cosponsor anyway since he doesn't meet the income requirements.

ok, so if i understand it right now...lets say mu husband has now job with income of $30.000, but last year was mostly unemplyed and made only $10.000...it means that even tho i put as his current income $30.000, they will base themself off of whats on his W-2...n thats only $10.000? correct?...I just would like to know how to count this, so I know how much has to our sponsor come up with to qualify as a sponsor.

Thank youuuuu!

No--they will base it on current income if you have documentation--a letter, pay stubs, etc, but you still have to provide the history.

Is your self employed or an employee?

Current and ongoing annualized income for a wage/salary earner is what will be considered. Even if the person has held the job for a few months the yearly earnings are the key. If a person is self employed, then the income measures is line 22 from the most recent year's tax return.

From what you are saying the annual income for this year ($30K annual) is the amount considered. The recent paystubs and employer letter would support the claim of a $30K income.

Right. (Unfortunately, you've received a number of less than helpful to misleading answers.) On the I-864, treat each question as just a question. For prior years, take the income from line 22 of the 1040 form. For current income, state the current income and document it with employer letter and/or pay stubs. If the current income isn't enough, you'll need a joint sponsor with enough individual income to cover their own family size plus the intending immigrant(s).
