Requirements for sponsor/petitioner IR-1/CR-1

[Morgan Vincent 2]

Hello dear people, before asking and starting to find a joint sponsor for my visa, I wanted to know if my husband (US citizen) qualifies to be the only sponsor.

Here's the situation: for the last 3 years, he was under the poverty level, BUT, he has now 13k + in savings, and he's currently working a steady job.

Is that enough to be the only sponsor?

Thank you for your help.

Is he making enough money now then yes! What he used to make doesn't matter

Okay, so I don't need to submit the last tax return or do I still need to do it? I don't know the exact numbers, but if he makes 20k income this year (2016) + 13 k in savings it's enough? I guess I just have to give proof of that from his bank account? Thank you, again.

He still have to submit the older taxes but it's what he makes at the moment that counts

Thank you a lot Alaska2012. I read that submitting last year's tax return is enough instead of 3, is that correct? Should I ask for the last 3 just in case?
