I864 income to sponsor both parents?

[Ruark 4]

My USC wife has filed I130s to sponsor both of her parents for immigration to the US. Of course the I864 is required at a later point. Also, the I130s are filed and processed separately, and she will need to file an I864 for each one.

Will the fact that she is filing two petitions in this manner affect the minimum income required to report on the I864? Will it double it? Her gross annual income is about $42,000. Remember, the petitions are separate. I can't find this information anywhere on the web, some reliable advice would be appreciated.

Thanks

It won't double the needed income, but will add two to the household. Considering your wife's income of $42,000, she can have 6 poeople in her household comfortably- so for example her, you the parents and 2 kids.
