Depends on the size of your family--if just you and your spouse, and the payments are from annuities, social security, pensions, and so forth, you will not likely need another sponsor.

SSI isn't paid by the Social Security Administration, so I don't know the answer--I'm sure pushbrk or someone equally knowing will come along to answer that part of the question.

To make an annual income determination, add the two numbers together and multiply that result by 12; the answer will be your annual income.

Because this is retirement income, there are probably nuances and other little deals that I'm not familiar with so I can't say one way or the other if you need a joint sponsor or not.

Hi.

I have read that SSI can't be used when figuring income (please someone correct me if I am wrong). I beleive your spouse has posted the same question a couple of times already and been told the same answer.

The issue with SSI is not whether you can state it and count it on an affidavit of support. It's income, so you can. The issue is how a Consular Officer will consider it, in terms of evaluating whether the immigrant is likely to become a public charge. There is no hard and fast answer for this. I would expect the consideration to be different for a retired person than a young person.

Look at the I854, 125% of the minimum. All income applies.

It's the I-864p that shows the dollar amounts.
