Yes. They didn't ask for any more evidence, so it must have been fine.

Yes! We got CC on July 12th and our interview was August 24th. The interview went well but the embassy wanted an more recent copy of our marriage document. Once he got it turned in they officially approved him and he picked up his visa on September 6th.  Hope everything is going well for you!

 your Income was sufficient since you  were  working from Aug

I don't think there is a specific time frame. The only thing I have read is that if you go more than a year without activity the NVC will terminate the case, but otherwise I think you can take as long as you need/want. I only waited because my husband's police certificate took longer to get than we expected. 

Any update on your case

Filed for the CR1 visa recently.  They require 6 months of paystubs.  The last time I had a job was more than a while ago.  But if I have a close friend/relative who co signs will that pass the income requirement?

Intialy, How many months paystubs you sent to NVC . you did not send employment letter with paystubs?

Hi,

 

I am applying for my mother to come to USA as I am an American citizen. 

 

I do not make enough money to "financially support" her.

 

My wife and I file taxes jointly. My wife makes more than enough to support my mom to come here. 

 

Do I fill out form i-864 and my wife fills out I-864-a?

 

or do we both fill out I-864 each and my additionally my wife fills out I-864-a?

 

or can my wife just fill out I-864 and I fill nothing out?

 

what is the simplest method to prove financial support?

 

I'm a little confused so I need your help guys!

You fill out I-864 and  my wife fills out I-864-a

Approved!!

Congrats! Chamma 

On I-864  Affidavit of Support  - Version Expires on 07/31/2017, WE cannot use this form after  08/01/2017 ?

When USCIS releases new I-864 Forms? Any body has any idea.

Appreciate your thoughts .

My husbands visa got approved!! He said it was a smooth process. The CO asked him about 4-5 questions. Didn't look at any pictures or evidence of relationship. And surprisingly did not even ask for the updated AOS and 2016 W2 that we had received a checklist for. Will post a detailed review shortly.

Congrats! KaurN

Correct..English is not the first language

Since the post you quoted, clearly states the MOM's salary as only $17,500 your post only adds to the clutter. 

@pushbrk I thought till date Her earnings  $17,500

1. Yes. She just need to show proof of re-establishing domicile in the US.

 

2. Your wife will still fill out the I-864 and then your MIL fills out another I-864. Your MIL have a household size of four when you include the intended immigrant. That means she needs a salary of $30,750 to be the joint sponsor or if she wants to supplement her income with assets, she needs five times the difference. So in your case, the MIL need at least $66,250 in assets plus some change for good measure. So yes, sounds like she can but please be aware that assets are not always accepted. She needs to prove that the assets have been in her possession for at least a year.

Hi guys,

 

I have some quires regarding CR-1 Spouse Visa can you please give me some suggestions.

 

1-  my wife is US citizen and we lives together in UAE can she still apply CR-1 Spouse Petition.

2- As she is a house wife and never had any job her mom want to sponsor but she does not have 3 years tax returns she recently got a job from 4 months ago and she is earning $17,500 also she has $70,000 cash in her account her house hold members are 3 (husband, son and her) can she still sponsor us as a co sponsor or do we need some one else for co sponsor.

 

thanks.

 

If her MOM Yearly Salary is more than  $31,000...It should be fine i guess

So, you have a one track mind???  Totality of circumstances, with current income as the key.

Yes current Income plays a major role on our cases...Your answers are useful for everyone ..Thanks Pushbrk

So I understand, Even Petitioner does not make any Income in Last 3  or Years he should be fine.
Only matters Current Pay stub while applying AOS & During Interview current Paystubs Thanks @pushbrk

NO.  It is not correct.  Not only is it not correct, it is actual nonsense.  There are no questions about year to date income on the affidavit.

Let us take this Scenario: 

Petitioner Submitted AOS & All Docs to NVC in Jan 2017 with current Pay stub He last Job in Feb 

He Got job in June , Spouse Interview Scheduled this month Last week .What would be the CO decision? 

9 hours ago, pushbrk said:

In a visa case there is never an actual RFE regarding an affidavit of support, because RFE is something USCIS does.   It would be interesting to know then, what you actually mean by RFE.  NVC sends what often looks like an RFE but isn't.  They're just saying they can't make the determination and it will be up to the Consular Officer.  In my experience, if the requirements have been met and it's reasonable for the Consular officer to make a positive decision regarding public charge, then they will.

Because this is a public discussion, it is not necessarily appropriate to think responses that quote you are directed, in full at you.  While what you wrote, prompted my response, my response is directed to "the reader(s)" of the thread, for THEIR benefit.  It is not a personal discussion between you and me.

 

An earlier poster, clearly had no clue about the current income issue.  Whether other "readers" will benefit from my explanation is something we may or may not ever know and it doesn't matter.  Consular Officers receive fairly consistent training on these issues, but policies of evaluation definitely vary with different IV Units, and tend to change somewhat when a new Unit Chief rotates in.

Bottom line is Petitioner Year to date Income should  be above Poverty Line during Interview time ( CO makes the decision ).

Is it correct @pushbrk

Hi, what if the petitioner is making income from overseas? Do we still need to list it on the I-864 if we submitted it during tax season?

 

another question, how likely would it be that they call the joint sponsor to verify? Thanks!

I think they don't consider overseas Income..unless its military or any US Gov Projects

You only use AGI if you are self-employed or if you will file a 1040ez. If you have will file a reg 1040 you will put what you anticipate will be your total income end of 2017, ie what you believe you will put on this year's 1040 line 22 (total income).

I explained this to you already in another thread.

Now , I understood what you are saying and checked my previous year's tax returns.Thanks, Suss&Camm.

8 hours ago, Suss&Camm said:

It's not your AGI that you need to compare to the requirement. It is the anticipated total income. Your filing status doesn't matter - but why are you filing single? If you are married you should be filing MFJ, MFS or in some special circumstances HOH.

Employment letter can document that there are no forseable changes in the current employment or salary. Even with paystubs this can be beneficial for a newly established income.

Also it should be the ANTICIPATED income for the year. Which is the current uncome only for an already established job. So no, if you start a new job today paying 50k you would not make 50k this year. There have been MANY rfe's for ppl in that specific situation.

In 7 months I make $29,400..this Amount is not sufficient after filing 2017 taxes as a SINGLE. Adjust Gross Income would be around $24,000 this Amount is below the poverty line for only 3 People...I am correct @Suss&Camm

2 hours ago, pushbrk said:

Are you making a statement or asking a question?  Anyway, no.  Current income has nothing to do with year to date income being over the poverty line by the time it's sent in.  Current income is the gross per pay period times the number of pay periods in a year.

 

If you lost your job today, your current income is $0.  If you start a new job today making $50k a year, your current income is $50k a year, which can be documented fully with one pay stub showing a full pay period's earnings.  There are no questions about YTD income on the affidavit of support because it's irrelevant.

 

The reason I mentioned year to date income is to illustrate why only one pay stub is needed.  Decades ago, before computers and pay stubs showing YTD income, is when USCIS recommended multiple pay stubs.  It's a decades out of date recommendation.  In the old days six months of pay stubs would show you had the job for six months or more.  Today, the YTD income on ONE pay stub show how much of the year you've had the job.  If it was January or February, it would be good to send the year end pay stub along with the most current one.

@pushbrk If I  start a new job from June 1,2017 making $50k a year, my current income is $50k a year,                      which can be documented fully with one pay stub $4200. In July i will send All Docs to NVC .

The supervisor from  NVC will Schedule Interview? this type of case.Average, I would get Interview after 5 months ( May be in Dec 2017) . In Interview, I can show All 7 months paystubs from June to Dec 2017.CO accept this ? What are your thoughts ? Thanks for you time and help  Pushbrk.

@pushbrk Current Paystub should show (Year to date Income  ) above Poverty Line at NVC Stage                          or During  Interview time ?  Please clarify.thks

Hello ,

I have filed my tax for the last 3 years. but last year (2016) is the only year that I made above 125% poverty line. which is around $ 31000 . In  2015 I made $15000 and 2014 $12000 , both below the requirement.

 

So, Should I just send in the transcript from last year (2016) alone ? or do I send all 3 years ?

 

I make about $36000 a year right now and I have an employer letter stating that,    Should I find a co-sponsor or for my case is not necessary ?

Anyway, you will fill 2014,2015 & 2106 tax returns info in Affidavit .Even if you don't have Enough Income for those years its fine.

No need co-sponsor for you.. Current Paystubs shows Year to date Income and Employment letter..
