How much money should a citizen petitioner make to be able to sponsor their parent?

[myaumyau 4]

Hello,

Naturalized citizen here and want to bring my mother over to live with me. So I am filling up the I130 and was wondering how much money should I be making annually to be able to sponsor her? It doesn't ask anything about my wage/salary on the form so its a bit weird.

Depend on how many people in your household. There’s minimum that you can look on USCIS website

It’s not going to ask that on the I-130. It’s on the I-864

You can find information about the affidavit of support on the official government website.. https://www.uscis.gov/i-864

 

Also, you can check out the VJ guide.

I-130 petition is only the first step of a long process.  The financial sponsorship, via an I-864, is not submitted until the NVC stage, which will be about a year after filing the I-130.  Review the I-864 and instructions on the USCIS website to learn all about it so you will be prepared to submit it a year later.  Good luck!

At the interview stage the CO will also expect u to know the cost of health care insurance in your state and whether u can afford it

so check into this cost along with cost of any medications they may take regularly like for diabetes as insulin in now rather costly (just a sugestion)

Thanks. Will I, the petitioner, also need to give an interview? I thought only the beneficiary needed to give one.

only the beneficiary

knowing the cost of health care is for u to know/  the CO will be looking at your income statements and going by state averages of costs
