Answer 2

It depends on your income tax returns. If you do not claim anyone, you can make less money.. but you have to make 125% of the Poeverty Line. Here is 125% of the poverty line for 2008:

Sponsors household size: ( you = 1 person, immigrant = 1 person)

2 people - $17, 500

3 people - $22,000

4 people - $26,500

5 people - $31,000

6 people - $35,500

7 people - $40,000

Answer 3

If you as an individual are going to sponsor someone you have to have an annual income that is above the current poverty level. That figure changes so you would need to look it up or contact USCIS. You can go to the USCIS web page and look up the different forms that apply to the different types of visas. The fees for each visa will be indicated beside each form. You haven't indicated whether this person is your spouse, fiance, or a family member. There are different forms for each. There are also forms for business or companies to sponsor a potential employee. You have to read the instructions very carefully. If you leave anything undone your form will be sent back to you.

Answer 4

125% above Federal Poverty Line
