question about using assets to supplement income

[Boxingfan 2]

first question. do we need 5x difference in income or 3x difference in income. i am sponsoring my husband.

second question. how do I submit proof of assets. my assets are simply cash in checking accounts. multiple accounts. if we need 5x assets then I do have the sufficient assets today.. and as of about 2 months ago, but before that the combined balances in all my accounts were short of the required amount. is that gonna be a problem?

for example- I need to cover a difference of about $5000... which means I need to have at least $25000 in assets, correct? up until 2 months ago, the combined balance in my various checking accounts has been about 21-23k.. but as of 2 months ago, I received some payments and the sum of my balance has been closer to 30k. Is that sufficent to show proof of assets?

When sponsoring a spouse, you need three times the assets. You need to show that the money has been in the account for awhile, at least six months. We are using assets and our proof was:

Letter from the bank manager confirming long term good customer and exactly what our assets were.

Print out of our bank account.

Print out of stock portfolio.

If you are $5,000 short on your salary then you need $15,000 in assets.
