The projected annual income can be used.  It does not have to be exact.  

 

Per the above example, 11 hrs driving with max 70 hrs per 8 days maxes out at 61.25 hrs per 7 days.  The theoretical maximum hrs is 61.25 x 52 = 3185.  Average 55 miles per hr equals 175k miles.  Realistically the actual miles worked per year would be less.  A low estimate would be 1/2, at 87k miles.  At 30 cents per mile (for new drivers) that is about $26k per year.

 

So the salary range of the above example is $26k to $52k.  @Michael&Karen, have your husband estimate the miles he will be working, by talking to his employer or fellow drivers, multiplied by his pay rate.  Use that for his current income.

Thank you very much for the help, I don’t know anything about miles or how much he’ll be driving cause he just started the training but I’ll make sure to give him this example.

You are being given ideas for how to list current income and you are rejecting all of them.  
 

The I-864 is a serious document, and failure to provide a number that exceeds the 125 percent poverty threshold backed with sone evidence is going to lead to a denial.  
 

USCIS and the Department of State don’t care that apparently the consensus among the trucking industry is that no such number can be provided.  
 

So then, if you are paid by the

 

* mile: estimate how many miles you will drive per year 

* hours of work: estimate how many hours you will work per year 

 

* hours of driving; estimate how many hours you will drive per year 

 

If you are paid by a combination of the above, combine the estimates. 
 

Provide employer documentation of the base rates of pay.  
 

Will your spouse stay at home while you drive long hauls? Provide affidavits from full time  long haulers with stay at home spouses on the hours of work and drive and the miles.  

Will your spouse ride with you while you drive long hauls? Provide affidavits from full time  long haulers with ride along  spouses on the hours of work and drive and the miles.  
 

If you two have decided if your spouse will ride along or stay at home, use the lower estimate.  
 

The more documentation of current income the better. Current income is the most important aspect of the I-864.  

Sir, no one is rejecting ideas I just don’t wanna get into an argument because I clearly don’t know much about this topic so we decided to get that letter from the employer stating the estimated annual salary. I didn’t know I had to let the forum know our decision. Thank you for your response.

We never know how many miles per week we will do it goes along with our log book, we are allowed 70hrs in 8 days 14 hr work day and only 11 hrs driving per day

Exactly

No, do NOT leave that field blank.  Your husband must have the salary info.  If he doesn't have a paystub yet, ask for an employment letter from his employer.  Or did he really accept a job offer without knowing how much he will be paid?!

 

The thing is that the amount they make a week depends on the miles they drive and like I said he will just start the training so we don’t really know. I’ll let him know this info, thank you very much!

No need to wait for tax filing season.  Current annual income is calculated from a recent paystub -- as in, salary for the pay period multiplied by the number of pay periods per year.  Or it can be taken from an employment letter listing the annual salary.

 

Right. But he’s about to start the training and we don’t have that info yet. So do I leave that on blank?🤔

Hello everyone.

My interview will be in a couple of weeks so we’re updating AOS. My husband just got a new job and I’m wondering what do we put on “ my current individual income” if we basically don’t know cause is not time to fill out 2021 taxes please help, TIA!

Hi everyone.

My category is CR1, 1st submission was on May 30th and second on June 19th. I'm still waiting on my DQ and getting insane... Any thoughts? Is this abut luck o somehting? Hubby is USC, thanks.

It's pretty much impossible to give you an estimate of when you'll receive your DQ. "Officially" they are currently working on cases from March. However, they are now prioritizing cases for the visa types not affected by the EO extension, which includes the CR1. Some people have received a DQ within hours of submitting, others in days or weeks. Hopefully yours will be soon!

Thank you so much!!

Hello everyone!

So I'm CR1, submitted docs first on May 30th and AOS on June 19th, for how long do you all think do I have to wait to get my DQ? Thanks!!

I submitted the first and last page of my divorce decree. All of my documents have been accepted. 

Thanks🎉

Hello everyone!

basically I want to know from you all past experiences... my husbands divorce decree is 37 pages so we tried to compress it as much as we could but the app could not compress it more so we just submitted 5 pages where states the names of them, their kids, where it states that they’re legally divorced, the final signatures of them, the judge and finally the official seal of the certificated copy. All this was submitted to the NVC. Help would be appreciated, thank you. 
 

@pushbrk tagging you cause you’re always very helpful! Thanks

I had the same thing. But I hadn't yet uploaded the rest of my documents. I ended up calling, being on hold for an hour, just for them to tell me that they can't process my application until they receive the rest of our documents. Your best bet is probably to call them. 

Mmmm i submitted my civil documents already could be that my husband haven’t submitted AOS yet cause the payment is still in process 

Can someone help me please? I’m getting crazy.

I got a message on ceac and it says “ ds-260 review note” but it won’t let me open the message. I got the confirmation number with the bar code and all that so what could it be? Thank you!

Oh please someone help me!! I have the same issue but it says ds-260 review note. I got the confirmation email with the bar code when I filed it out and all that so what could it be? Thanks

Yes you need to send submit original document with translation in one file.

How do you do that? Sorry and thanks.

THANK YOU!

 So they asked you to submit all your docs even when they approved your expedite request?

You should ask for the expedite right away.   Most recently they will still have you complete everything before sending it to the consulate.

Thank you very much.

The answer is no.  If you were denied entry, you didn't enter, so could not have been removed.

Thank you so much!!
