Questions about I-864 (AOS)

[Yumburger 20]

I have couple of questions about I-864. I can't find answers here in VJ. Thank you in advance for answering.

 

1. I'm a little bit above the 125% poverty line, do I need a joint sponsor just in case? or should I file it without a joint sponsor?

 

2. Some people say that you need a full time job for the I-864, Is that true? 

    I want to look for a better job but this process is keeping me from it.

You don't do the I-864 until you get to the NVC.   Full time job is not necessary.   Either meeting the requirements of the I-864P or getting a Joint Sponsor will be required.   Full time doesn't mean anything as long as you meet the requirements.

Paul & Mary's answer is good.  Maybe they know something I don't about your case.  If you have not yet filed the I-130 for your spouse, you will probably not do the I-864 until early 2020.  It's not to early to start becoming an A-student of those I-864 instructions though.  If you are EMPLOYED with enough income, maybe check out the I-864EZ.

Youre saying I don't need a joint sponsor if I met the I-864p?

What if I want to play it safe and get a joint sponsor even if I met the requirements?is that ok?

Thank you for your replies guys. Even on my other threads. I really appreciate it.

 

Hehe yeah. I dont want to miss anything on my petition and want to learn everything since Im not gonna get a lawyer.

That is the amount you need to make to get past the NVC.   The Co)can still use public charge as a reason to require a larger amount at the interview.   You can always have a joint sponsor ready for the NVC or at the Interview.
