Im submitting i864, im using my husbands income bec im not working, but it still below the poverty guideline, so i get a co sponsor that meets the income requirement, do i still need money in the bank of atleast $2000 more or less or Not anymore bec a co sponsor is enough eventough $0.00 in the bank?

No need for savings as long as the co-sponsor is comfortably over the poverty line.

hi

who you are petitioning doesn't matter, as long as you have a joint sponsor that can cover the beneficiary

whether a spouse or family member

Hi,

I saw your question and I actually saw this website this might help you -http://www.nolo.com/legal-encyclopedia/free-books/fiance-marriage-visa-book/chapter14-16.html. Here are some of the paragraphs below;

Questions 6-9: This question is important for sponsors whose income is not enough by itself, but who will be using the income of members of their household to help meet the Poverty Guidelines minimum requirements. First, every sponsor must state his or her own income. Then, if the sponsor wants other people’s income counted, they must be mentioned in Questions 6-9. Unless anyone of these household members is the actual immigrant, they must plan to complete a separate agreement with the sponsor, using Form I-864A. The total annual household income from the sponsor and household members goes in Question 10.

Question 13-14: The sponsor should check this box to indicate that he or she has filed tax returns for the most recent three tax years and list the adjusted gross income reported to the IRS in Questions 13a to 13c. If the sponsoris able to provide tax transcripts or signed tax returns along with Form I-864, it will strengthen the application. Check the box in Question 14 if the sponsor is providing this documentation.

Part 7, Use of assets to supplement income

The sponsor needs to complete this section only if his or her income wasn’t enough by itself to meet the Poverty Guidelinesrequirements. If the sponsor needs to add assets, which may include such items as a house, car, or boat, remember to subtract debts, mortgages, and liens before writing down their value. And remember that the value of these assets will later be divided by three before being used to meet the Poverty Guidelines minimum if the sponsor is a U.S. citizen spouse, and will be divided by five if the sponsor is a U.S. permanent resident spouse. If some of the assets being used to meet the minimum belong to the immigrant, attach a separate page describing these (and of course attach documents to prove their ownership, location, and value).

If the combination of the sponsor’s household available income and either one-third or one-fifth (as appropriate) of the sponsor’s and/or the immigrant’s assets do not yet meet the Poverty Guidelines minimum, the immigrant will still need to hand in this Affidavit, but will definitely want to seek a joint sponsor.

I have the same question. My petitioner does not work but she and her spouse fill taxes together. So, the income has been mentioned on the latest 3 years tax returns column and her spouse has filled i864A. Are we on the right path? My petitioner has filled i864 and her spouse has filled i864A but in both the forms income tax return is the same as both file jointly. And her son is co- sponsor for us.
