Do I need a co sponsor?

[Dustin117 1]

My quiestion is do I really need a co sponsor if I make above the poverty guideline I make now 32,000 a year but with the hours I work I make like 35,000 but I didn’t work  almost at all last year I have good reasons but 5 months of it I spent in Argentina with her but I just started a job this month because of unfortunate circumstances I have a job in Hawaii making good money in January of this year but in March I joined the Army and in late April the discharged me so I had to get another job and finally this mi th I got a good job so do I need a co sponsor?

While you make more than the required amount now, you are judged on the totality of circumstances which includes how reliable your income is.  With your work history, it doesn't look like your income is reliable - different jobs including time not working.

 

It would be wise to line up a co-sponsor.

I'd have one ready in case they want to see more stable income. What matters for the form is current income, but the CO makes the final public charge call.

If you income is more consistent by the time of the interview, then it might be fine. The I-134 is presented at the interview, so you have some time still. But I'd suggest having a co sponsor lined up just in case.
