RFE: Co-Sponsor

[TJ01212011 47]

Hello all.

I just received my RFE notification requesting for us to provide a co-sponsor because they said my husband didn't meet the 125% poverty level even though on his tax return on 2010 was above $20,000. He has a 2011 tax return but the problem is, he just recently resigned from his job and now, he is self-employed--a day trader. my question is do we still need to get a co-sponsor because of his current status or just submit the 2011 tax return together with his bank and broker account statements?

thanks,

Jan

Current and continuing income is what needs to be shown. 2010 has little bearing on that.

If you have sufficient assets to cover the income amount a joint sponsor is not needed. If not, you will likely need one.

Thanks for the reply. Do you know how much the percentage should be be for the asset?

Thanks,

Not sure what you mean with percentage? He needs $3 of assets for every #1 he is short in income.

Thank you for the replies. Sorry, I wasn't able to come back here because I got busy with my RFE and job interviews. I just want to update everyone. I just received an email said that my green card is in our mailbox now but I haven't checked it yet, waiting for hubby to wake up so we can check it together. I thank goodness we didn't need co-sponsor anymore. We just resubmitted our updated IRS and account statements, we also included a letter explaining why we didn't provide what they were asking for. We are so very happy that our immigration journey will rest for awhile (at least for 2years)

For that, My husband and I would like to thank visa journey and for all the members who are always there to help and to guide people like me.
