I am filling out Form I-864 and in order to be a sole sponsor for my wife, do I have to show income at 125% of Poverty Level for ALL THREE of the past three tax years to qualify, or only for the past one year?
I was in graduate school three tax years ago and therefore my income was below poverty level. Two tax years ago I started my own business and it was also below poverty level. However last tax year, I generated above 125% of Poverty Level. Therefore can I be a sole sponsor based on my 2008 Tax Year income, or will I need to get a joint sponsor because my 2006/7 tax years were below poverty level?
