Joint Sponsorship for I-864.. HELP!!

[JoseOr NJessica 4]

I have a few questions about the guidelines. In my last three years of income I do not meet the guidelines mostly because I live out of the country. But I started a new job in October of last year and exceed the minimum by a few thousands. Do i still need to do a joint sponsorship?? If so, can anyone who has done so walk me threw it... I would really appreciate any input.

They will just look at you most recent income. Take a look at this link http://www.uscis.gov/files/form/i-864p.pdf

It's up to the discretion of your approving officer at interview.

As it's been several months since your employment, you should be good, but always have a backup plan just in case someone isn't feeling very generous.

Make sure you include a letter as to why you were not required to file taxes.

Also be sure to include an employment verfication letter, which states your currently salary, and a copy of a pay stub, just to be on the safe side.

It is up to the CO but my husband started working last year in Sept and we were okay but every case is individual as others have said. Have a back up plan just in case.

Remember to be at the interview with your spouse, in the DR it is a requirement.

What kind of letter? I was still able to file me Tax returns but the income was not very high because i was living mostly in the Dominican Rep. and Pregnant for 10 months.

Supply them with your tax return transcripts to show you are a lawful tax paying citizen.

No one is telling you to joint sponsor.

I would never request someone to take on that responsibility when you have the chance of being approved.

Just have someone in mind if they deny you at the interview.

They will tell you then to get another sponsor and you'll have time to do so and come back with one.
