upset about co-sponsor

[starlisle 0]

So his parents said his dad doesnt pay taxes (when I know he does, he told me before).

I guess they just dont want to help us be together.

And we dont know anyone else that would help us.

He earns like at least $2400 a month which should be enough for supporting himself, me and my child right?

But the problem is he has only had the job for five months. And he is just about now to sort his taxes out and pay them.

Could he still be allowed to be our sponsor or do we really need a co-sponsor?

For a family of 3, he needs a minimum of $25,112. And if he earns $2400/month then that would mean he makes a yearly income of $28,800 which puts him over the minimum required.

They look at his current income i.e. income he will be earning in the coming year so I think it should be fine. Just be sure to provide evidence of this ongoing income with employment letter (stating his salary) and recent pay stubs.

Has he had an income in the last 3 years and filed taxes? He'll need to report that on the form. If he didn't file taxes in the previous years, he'll need to write a letter with an explanation as to why he wasn't required to file (too little income, student etc.)

He is a subcontractor and doesnt get pay stubs he said, what does this mean? Does this make it impossible for us? Can he take copies of his checks for like two months and submit that? Also do we have to submit this with the I129F or when I am going to the interview at the embassy?

He is just about to call IRS and ask them how he does with his tax and pay it, as he only had his job for like 5 months.

You should read the above guide. The affidavit of support is for after the I-129F is approved. You will be submitting it to the embassy.

If he's a subcontractor -- does that mean he is self-employed?

If he has any assets/bank balance then he can use that as well.

It's really up to the CO if they will approve your visa based on your husband's income or they may ask you to bring a co-sponsor. It may be best to line one up so you don't delay your case.

Needs to talk to his CPA, should be able to produce records substantiating his come and deductions.

He gets paid by the hour, and gets a check every week, he doesnt have his own business. Dont know why they call it subcontractor.

He doesnt even have an employment letter, but i think he might be able to get one, do you know what it has to say?

He doesnt have a CPA, he manages his own economy and he doesnt have a business, but he gets paid weekly and he doesnt have like insurance by his job, in fact he hasnt got an insurance at all.

How does he start paying taxes, is it just to call IRS?

This sounds like it'll be very complicated over all.

As for paystubs, paystubs aren't always like the paper attached to the check. Most companys can just print out the payroll history for the person.

An employer letter will say his position, when he started working at the business, if he's a temporary or permanent employer and his annual pay per year from the employer and/or how much he gets paid on a monthly basis from the employer. Usually you'd want it on company letter head as well.

Remember, if you plan to use this guy to co-sponsor for your AOS then all of his tax stuff and even proof of employment and paystubs are going to need to be even more on the spot.


Honestly it sounds like he's working under the table.

He sounds like an employee, or he is in business for himself, it is one or the other.

The fact that you are here asking suggests that he does need a CPA, most Americans needs help filing taxes.

It sounds like it to me too. I don't know how he can proceed any further without getting a legitimate job. It explains why he can't ask his company for a payroll summary and why he hasn't filed taxes.
