My spouse is petitioning for me, and she didnt meet the porverty guidelines. I asked my brother whos in the military to be a joint sponsor for me, but he is now petitioning for our mom and is also married making his household size 3 currently. I know that when he fills out form i-864 for me he will have to increase that household size to 4, so his income won’t cover for me. The option we have is to include the housing allowance that he receives which is $1050 a month, so that his income would increase. I talked to a lawyer today and she recommended not to do that and get another joint sponsor, but as you may know that’s now so easy.
His income for 2021 as it is stated on his tax transcripts is 30k
When we added up the amount of allowance he gets in a year that income went to 46k
But that $1050 amount is only reflected on his LES (leave and earnings statement)
How would i go about proving to the immigration that he can meet the guidelines on the forms? should i get a letter from his employer?
And also add together his montlhy income+LES and multiply by 12 so that would be his current income?
