URGENT PLEASE FILLING TOMORROW "Current Income" I-864

[theImmigrantGuy 7]

So my petitioner (primary sponsor) been employed for the first 8 months of 2017 and then unemployed. She made enough during the time she was employed to sponsor me. What is her annual current income should be on the I-864? I am having this late night argument just before filling the papers tomorrow!!

[geowrian 22,337]

If she is unemployed right now then her current income is $0 (although unemployment compensation can be counted if she is getting that).

[theImmigrantGuy 7]

But should it not be the earned income throughout the year? If she has a job that pay way less, should I add all what she made and extrapolate using her current job until the end of the year (old job+new job+new job extrapolation.)?

 

Thank you!

No, the I-864 uses current income, not past income.

 

If somebody gets a new job, they can list the amount of income they would make in a year in that position. For example, if somebody made $50,000 in the first 8 months, but then changed to a job making only  $1000/month, then the current income is $12,000 (12 * $1000)...regardless of what will be earned by the end of the year.

 

The sponsor needs to send evidence of their current income with the I-864. Somebody who is unemployed (barring UC benefits and such) has no evidence to send since they have no income.

If she's currently unemployed, her current annual salary is 0. She'll need assets, or you'll need a co-sponsor to fulfill the requirements for sponsorship.

Current yearly income means what you are making CURRENTLY. If you aren't employed you have no current yearly income. So, yes it means what you make now. 

 

Yes, they want last years tax return. However, you have to show proof of current income. Job offer letter, pay stubs, and any other stuff you have to support it.
