x_x Several questions,mainly i-864

Let me explain my situation,I am a US citizen who married a German man. We have no children,and I have yet to begin the immigration process. I'm in the researching stage and I have many questions.

My first question is,I would like to change jobs for finanical reasons. Would it be best to do this before starting the visa application,or after everything is done and my husband is here? OR is it not really a big deal to update the job information in between?

Okay,now onto affidavit.

1.I live with my parents and brother,I don't make enough money right now to prove the income requirements, but I do provide for myself. So,what would my income requirements be,as in,what would they see my household size as?

2.I will need a joint supporter on the affidavit of support. If my father is the joint supporter,do they look at just his income,or everyone living in the house? And what are his income requirements? My husband and I will be living at the same address as my family,but they won't be providing for us,except the room in the house.

FYI -

My father works and my mother is on social security disability. My brother also works but provides for himself,except living in the house.

2A. If my Father can use the whole household's information,can he use my mother's income information because her income is social security disability?

3. Or would I be way better off using a different family member for joint support who doesn't live in the household??

Thank you.

Answers:

• Changing jobs is not a big deal.
• Your household size would be viewed as you and your husband (2).
• If your father agrees to act as a joint sponsor, they will look at his income. His household size would be as follows, him, your mother, your husband (3).
• Your father can combine income with anyone living in the house. I don't know if Social Security disability is allowable or not. If your father chooses to combine income with your brother, his household count goes up to 4.
• Up to you if you want to see if another family member who does not live in the same house is willing to act as a joint sponsor.

I really appreciate your response. It's been so awful trying to figure this stuff out and how important it is to do correctly. I feel so much pressure because I just want my husband back. ;__; So just to confirm,if I send in the visa application,and change jobs before it's approved,that's not a big deal?

It's not a big deal, circumstances change all the time and they do so without adversely affecting the visa process.
