AOS - should I get a joint sponsor?

[cwwils2 1]

I'm sponsoring my husband to come to the US, but am not sure if I need a joint sponsor. I've lived and worked abroad for the better part of the past three years, so my US tax returns show fairly minimal income. However, I am back working in the States and have been for the past 3 months. My current income more than meets the requirements but will my current income be enough for the AOS to be approved? Or should I consider getting a joint sponsor?

Thanks!

You should consider getting a joint sponsor but I would not submit the affidavit to NVC. Just have the beneficiary carry it to the Embassy and submit it if needed. If you don't find one, you'll probably be OK anyway but it will depend on the totality of circumstances such as just what kind of job/career etc.

London is not a tough IV unit in financial matters.

It helps that you'll have several more months of employment before the interview.

Isn't the affidavit a requirement for the visa though? Or is that not true? But my husband will be interviewing at the consulate in Melbourne, instead of London; know anything about that one?

Thanks for the help?

The affidavit is a requirement but the final decision regarding it will be made at the interview. It will be Sydney though, not Melbourne. So plan on that trip expense.
