Affidavit of Support and Co-sponsoring

[vponce 8]

So I've looked through quite a few older threads on this and I'm still a bit unsure if I'm going to be alright on the guidelines to file without a co-sponsor. I've honestly seen mixed answers, so I'll just ask myself.

I make $10.50 an hour, however I am getting a raise this coming week to $11.00 hourly. One of my first questions is should I have my boss/account manager write up my employment letter stating my salary at $21,000 or the changing $22,000? We are due to get our NVC case number any day now and I plan to push through all the remaining paperwork I have (as petitioner) as quickly as possible. It might be three more weeks before my paystub reflects the change since I'm payed bi-weekly. However, I've also been working a lot of overtime (50-60 hour weeks) which my paystubs reflect.

Secondly, with the above taken into account I'm still unsure if I will need a co-sponsor. Since I have a household of just me, I make above the poverty line. With my beneficiary added I still make above the 125% poverty line but just (family size 2, $20,025). I have a couple thousand in savings which I'm always growing, and the only asset I have really is a fully paid off car that's insured. It's valued at $2,487 in its current state, if I can even use it as an asset.

The bad, however, is that my W2s in the past three years have not been the best. Last year especially since I spent 6 months abroad on a visitors visa in the UK with my fiancée with no income. I mention this because I've read some threads talking about sending your W2s for the past few years. I've made 125% over the poverty line for a one person household at that those times and came close to 125% over for a two person household.

It will be hard for me to aquire a co-sponsor, so I'd like to know if what I've got now is acceptable or not for the affidavit of support. Thank you all in advance and sorry if this is in the wrong section, I didn't know if this went here or under the Case Filing & Progress Reports sub-section.

Your employer can write all of that in their letter...you current pay rate, your future pay rate and the effective date as well as the intent to keep your OT hours...

You should not need a cosponsor...125% should be enough...Don't worry about the past, it is all about the future.

Good luck- I think you are in good shape.

But they will look at last year's IRS transcript so be sure that satisfys the 125%

London does not require a tax return /tax transcript from a K1. And there is no value in providing a transcript that falls short of the mark. Get an employer letter and London will pass you on that if it states you are over the poverty level.

Thank you very much for the information!

I'll have him do that for me, thank you!
