How much does my income need to be the petitioner of an immigrant? I have to prove I can support my husband.?

Question

My husband can only work certain jobs with his working visa and I am a student and graduating in July and now I need to prove I can support us financially. Does anyone know what I should do in this case since I have an income but maybe it is not enough. Does anyone know how much money I need to have or to make for this to happen?

Answer 1

um he need to be able to prove that he can support you 125%, if he does not have the means to do that he can get other family members to sponsor you, and together they can prove that they can support you.

Answer 2

Just you and him?  $17,500 per year.

Answer 3

You have to prove you can support him and make 125% above the poverty level, which is $17500. You will file an I-864, Affidavit of Support & that paperwork will ask you a series of question related to your income & assets. If you do not meet the salary standards, you will need a co-sponsor who does make at least $17500. This sponsor can be anybody but it's best to have a family member do it, maybe one of your parents? You can try doing it yourself. Sometimes they're nice enough to send you a letter requesting a co-sponsor. Good luck.

Answer 4

125% above poverty level for a household of two.if you dont make that much you can use as many co-sponsers as you need.

Answer 5

125% of the federal poverty guideline.  If you are in the military, it can be 100%.  Or, if you have other family members, such as parents or other relatives, willing to say they will help you out, their income can count as well.
