It's interesting to know there are consular differences. Thanks for bringing this matter to attention.(especially for newer members such as myself, who were unaware of it)

Kim, many thanks for the information, it is very helpful indeed!

The poverty guidelines are the minimum he has to make in order to qualify.

That's good to know! Thank you!

Howdy all!

I am a little ahead of myself as we will be resending our 1-129f forms off in a few weeks (the first ones got sent back due to our incompetence with the G325's forms etc) Anyway, I was looking over posts about poverty guidelines and am totally confused about ratios and percentages etc, so wondered if anyone could simplify it for me.

The poverty guide line for household of 2 (that would be my partner and I) is $17,500. Is that how much he has to earn in a year? or does he need more? If so, exactly how much does his income have to be a year? (this will be for the upcoming 1-134 form and later the 1-864(?) one?). Many thanks in advance for any help!

Thank you Kathryn41 and pushbrk for your replies. There has been an update since i last posted. My partner received our package back today, which included our money order. There was a letter that said the package was incomplete. In a way I am relieved it has come back, so now we can assemble everything properly and do it right this time. I want to thank visa journey/members, for giving us the information that we needed to know on sending the right documents etc.

We will send the package in a few weeks time and hopefully, we will get it right this time.. fingers crossed!

I wish we had found this site before we sent in the 1-129f form, as i didn't realise that one had to send in four copies each of the G325A forms (yes, i feel very silly about this). What i would like to know, is what will happen now? It has been maybe a month since we sent them in and have not heard anything at all.( No noa1... nothing) I assume they will reject the application, so do we just wait and see if they notify us at all or will we have to contact them about it? If we wait, does anyone know roughly how long it will take to hear from them? Any information would be greatly appreciated from this newbie.
