Thanks HelloWorld08. I will have to check my income tax return tonight. Thanks for taking the time to help me. I have one more question for you: It's my understanding that my boyfriend (soon fiance) has to translate some documents to english, can you tell me more or less what are they? does he have to translate them in Ecuador or here?

Most information is already explained in instructions.

For income calculation, you have to check your tax return info.

Adjusted Gross Income (AGI) is the number USCIS or US Consular office use for I-134 or I-864.

Also for the number of household, you have to check your tax return info.

If you have dependents declared from your tax return, you may have to include those dependents.

Documentations may need to translated to English if it is not in his/her home country's language, where Interview will be proceed, or English.

So for safe assumption, I would recommend to translate every documents not in English traslated to English and certified.

Certified means that somebody who translated the documen needs to write and sign for accurate "full" translation with his/her knowledge.

THANKS FOR THE INFORMATION. YOU ARE VERY KIND!

The household number is based on the number of dependents you currently have plus the beneficiary. In your case, it would be a total of 2 people, as DGAB2008 said, so you should be fine.

the consulate may or may not asked for the last 3 years of tax return, so it's probably best to get a co-sponsor. the numbers you posted is this the Adjusted Gross income?

Hello. My boyfriend is from Ecuador. We will soon be engaged and we're planning on getting married here in the States. I live in SC. My annual income for the last three years is as follows:

1. 2007 - 17,241.43

2. 2008 - 19,806.41

3. 2009 - will be between 21,165 & 23,000

I also own a car worth about $4,000 and have savings of about $1,500.

1. What do they take in consideration for the 125% poverty guideline? which year?

2. I live with my step-father, my mother & 2 sisters but I pay rent to them, I support myself. Do they count in my household? or will it just be me & my fiance? how many do I count for the poverty guideline?

3. Is it enough income or do I have to look for a sponsor?

Please help me!!

Thanks,

Candy
