Sponsor and co-sponsor income

[Ale_Grisolia 4]

Hello to everyone, I have a question and I wasn't able to find an answer so far so maybe you can help me.

My fiancée made 18000 last year and we are going to be 3 people total in the household, (Him, me and my daughter) from what I understand he has to make 23500 (not the exact number but around it) my question is, if I get a co-sponsor how much he has to demostrate he makes? He has to be working? or can he be retired? It is enough if he demostrates 5300?

Thanks to everybody and have a great journey!!!!

I don't believe that it's supplemental.

Your co-sponsor should also make whatever the percentage above poverty line it has to be.

With the I-134, a co-sponsor must qualify on their own for their own household size + the beneficiary + your daughter (if she is coming on a K-2). The incomes are not added together to reach the 125% of the poverty level. Since your fiance does not make enough for a household of 3, he either needs to make up the difference with assets(which need to be 3 times the amount he is short), or find a co-sponsor that makes 125% of the poverty level or greater for their own household size + you and your daughter(if K-2) added in.
