i-864 and i-134 question

[Boiler 43,543]

To adjust you need the I 864 amount anyway.

Could someone possibly joint sponsor one of her children?

that's the thing.  I know I can cover that by the time of the adjustment status but I'm assuming they will seek the 125% during the interview..  so I will need to go to a plan b

Co-sponsor?

[Charles_n_Grace 24]

Do you have children (your own) that are being included in the family size?

[Trameko38 7]

here is the thing.  I make 35,800 yearly.  It will be me, my fiancé and her 2 children.  I also have a 11 year old son who lives with his mom.  We were never married and she always puts him on her taxes as a dependent.  His mom and I have no child support documents.   I see my son almost everyday but he doesn't live with me.  I make over enough for my fiancé and her 2 kids.  Will they count my son as well?

[Charles_n_Grace 24]

If you are not on the BC and there are no legal documents showing him as a dependent, I don’t see any reason to count him 

[Trameko38 7]

I'm definitely on the Birth Certificate

[Charles_n_Grace 24]

Rapidvisa advised me to only count the number of dependents I claim on taxes. Uscitizenship dot info says to list those for whom you are the legal guardian. 

 

Both answers would leave me a little nervous without talking to an attorney specializing in immigration

Your son must be included in your household.  It's 5.  

 

The I-864 doesn't work the way you think.  If you don't make enough for a household of 5, then you will need Joint Sponsor for all three immigrants.  You can't just get a JS for one.  You would need to get JS for all three.

The I-864 instructions say to count all children.

If you don't meet the financial requirements for a household of 5, then you would need Joint Sponsors for all three immigrants.

At this point, he needs to meet the I-134 requirements

Our interview will most likely be in the beginning of February.  I know I can pass the I-134 and when she gets here there's no problem about passing the I-864 whether is with a  2nd job or pay raise.  I just want to get pass this first interview.

Use assets. If you're only $1000 short then you only need to show $3000 in assets.

Edit: disregard, I just read you have one more household member. Your child definitely counts.

This is not relevant information on determining whether to include on the affidavit or not

How can you pass the I-134 and not the I-864 when the threshold's used by Kyiv are the same
