I-864

[JOAE 0]

Hello,

I'm in doubt with this form. This is the situations: currently I'm living in El Salvador with my husband of almost 8 years and my 2 daughter ( 6&4 ) which are US citizens, I'm trying to go back to the states and petition my husband my question is do we all need a sponsor or will the sponsor just be for my husband?

Thanks in advance.

All. You will always be the primary sponsor. So your income, or joint sponsors will have to make enough to cover a family of 4, to include yourself.

Only your husband will need a financial sponsor ... assuming you are also a USC

You will be your husband's primary sponsor.  You must provide evidence of domicile in the US.  You must have documented current income (continuing after relocating to the US) to sponsor a family of 4, or a qualified joint sponsor for your husband.  US citizens do not require sponsors.

Correct that you as primary sponsor will declare a household size of 4... but if you are using a joint sponsor they need to add only your husband to their household number

I don't have a way to proof my income, I work with my mom who is an entrepreneur. We both have family in the states therefore we have sponsors and a place where we're gonna go, but is that sponsor that we need what I'm in doubt with....

Sounds like You will definitely need a joint sponsor (you are your husband's primary sponsor) who will also sign an I-864 (You will also sign one)....and your taxes must be in order (or have an explanation as to why you were not required to file).

All US citizens are required to report income world-wide if it above the minimum required.......no matter where he/she resides......

You need to file at least the last 3 years ... or have a valid explanation for not filing ... valid means one that the IRS accepts ... “ no way of proving income “ , “ my mother is an entrepreneur “ and “I live in El Salvador “ are not reasons acceptable to the IRS

Damn.... I had no idea, I went to the Us embassy here and asked them if I need to file taxes and they told me no, there was no need because I was below the income they ask for in order to file, so I believed them and have not done them.

They were correct.  If you didn't have enough income to file, then you just indicate that your income didn't require filing....either by a letter or by writing that on the I-864 space where it asks for that information.
