Crying! Worried! Worried! My Husband Income

[Kim and Joseph 36]

I'm Worried My Husband the Petitioner Lives with his Mom, His Income Does Not reach the Poverty Guidelines, His Mother Works too. I'm not sure of his mother's income, but she pays most of the Bills, including the Rent. He Just Started a new Better Paying Job. Only home and her in the House. 

 

1. Can they Join their Incomes together to meet the poverty Guidelines in one household?

 

2. Will the Consular accept that?

As the petitioner, your husband will automatically be the primary sponsor, even if he doesn't make anything. Then if his income is insufficient, yes, his Mom can be a joint sponsor and both of their income can be combined.

Thank you

In this situation combining income results in Mom being a "household member" not a "joint sponsor".
