Hello all,

 

We're 3 of household size, my wife and son ( all US citizens) are living with me abroad. My wife is jobless and has no income, obviously we will need a joint sponsor. 

 

Since we're 3, it means the joint sponsor should make ( 3 X 25,975 = $77,925 ) a year, is that correct ?

 

My question is, if the joint sponsor is making less than 77,925, can I still support the case with my own savings which is $40,000 ?

or what other options would you suggest ?

 

Your true answers are highly required and appreciated.

Thanks.

Joint sponsor counts THEIR family plus immigrant (you) not your family.

 

So if the joint sponsor is single the poverty guidelines they must meet are for 2 people.  If they are married with 3 kids, the size is for 6 people. 

 

Please look at https://www.uscis.gov/i-864p to see what the poverty guidelines are for each family size.  It is not 25k per person.

I really appreciate your comment , but I still don't get it ! sorry I really suck at these kinda things.

 

can you please explain more with example ? like me ( the immigrant ) and my wife and son ( US citizens), can you please explain based on that?

and yes the sponsor is single, I haven't asked him how much he makes but I believe more than $48,000

hi

 

your wife and son don't count they aren't being sponsored, you are

 

they are already USC

 

regardless of income or not, your wife will have to submit an affidavit of support and there she will list your family

 

the joint sponsor will only be sponsoring you

 

he or she has to make enough to cover him or herself, if she or he has their own family, not yours, and you the beneficiary

 

so it will depend on how much family the joint sponsor has, check out the form above mentioned

Your wife and child, who are US citizens, do not need affidavits of supports (i-864.)  Only you do because you are the one who is not allowed to use mean tested benefits. 

 

Your wife, as the petitioner, will sign a completed I-864.  She must be the primary sponsor regardless of income.

The joint sponsor will sign a completed I-864.  You will be the only person on this. 

The bare minimum your joint sponsor must make in income is $20,575 to support 2 people.

wife is the USC

she does need residency here in the US

No she doesnt. Most countries accept evidence of intent to reestablish domicile.
