IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	i-864 & co-sponsors	hello to all, i am the intending immigrant and my wife is the primary sponsor Her current and last 3 years income does not match with the poverty guidelines.so, we used her father as a joint sponsor (who signed I-864) now turned in to deep, her mother and father filling their tax returns jointly and their son is dependent on him. in addition, my wife's father became an additional sponsor (signed i-864) 4 years before for some relatives (number:3) and now they all r LPR. originally primary sponsor was grandfather at that time.   my question is, if we using my wife's father as a joint sponsor bt the house hold size goes to 7  > him >his wife >son >3 family member who were sponsored earlier >ME   her father current and past income would not match with the poverty guidelines for 7 household members ($44,512). we r planing to use their house as a assets. house is owned by him and the recent net value is about $1,35,000 but  they r paying every month installments to bank for the house. There is no loans on home.   SO, how much net price would be counted in this situation ??? how to evaluate the house net price !!!! which type of documents needed by her father.	shivam23	Male	India	2014-02-25 05:23:00

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	i-864 & co-sponsors	Read more carefully.  I already told you what she needs to show current income.   yeah i got u r point but how she has to show !! I mean in form she will write her current income  is this only  kkkk ?? n she is now eligible to fill I-864EZ ????	shivam23	Male	India	2014-02-24 12:41:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	i-864 & co-sponsors	A person qualifies based on their current income, so based on what you write above, your wife qualifies for a household of two without any help from others.  It is a common mistake to think one must have qualifying income for all the past years.  It's also a common mistake to confuse last year's income with current income.   If your wife has a job now, with $23,000 in income, she qualifies for a household of two.  Use her current income where it asks for current income and document that with a current pay stub.  Then correctly indicate her income from the past three years where asked.    Your wife's brother is your brother inlaw, not your son in law. LOL yeah that means she only is qualified to sponsoer me??? which documents she needs from her job to show her current income ?? she has her employment letter. Any kind of written letter from the job is required to ask ??? she is working  in a wells fargo bank	shivam23	Male	India	2014-02-24 12:22:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	i-864 & co-sponsors	Probably won't work.  For using cash assets to qualify, the Consular Officer wants to see several months of bank statements showing the cash has been there for a while.  Six months would be good.  You've got to stop looking at this like meeting the minimum is going be enough.  This is a judgment call for the Consular Officer.   Your petitioner is always the primary sponsor.  If the petitioner qualifies, they are the ONLY sponsor.   sir then what to do ???  As in my case  3 years before ,my father in law sponsored 3 persons also my mother in-law is filling taxes together + their son (my son in-law) is dependent on them  if they become my joint sponsor the total house hold size would be 7 and their 2013 income is $27,000 (jointly feeling) which is under the poverty guidelines for 7 people what is the other options available for me??? advise me please my wife changed her job recently. so,her 2013 tax returns is addition of previous work(5 months)+ current work (7 months) but in this current job her annual earning is 23,000 which is fix and may be above it  Is there any way we can use this things in our case ???	shivam23	Male	India	2014-02-24 11:59:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	i-864 & co-sponsors	Carefully read the I-864 instructions when it comes to using assets, your alternate option is unlikely to be accepted. sorry i read all the instructions carefully  for I-864 my wife's annual income( $13,208) for recent 2013 year + Her Uncle will give her $20,000 to deposit in her savings account so the total income will be counted as $13,208 +$ 6666 (20,000/3) = $19,874 m i right ??? after that my wife will qualify as a principle sponsor for me??? poverty guidelines shows 2 household size income = 19,387   and what type of documents she will needed from the bank. Ex: last few months statements is kk help me guys thank you in advance  Edited by shivam23, 24 February 2014 - 02:57 AM.	shivam23	Male	India	2014-02-24 02:47:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	i-864 & co-sponsors	Yes   Your FIL's household count would be 5 in this scenario, here's the breakdown: him your MIL the two people he already sponsored you   this is a very tough situaion for us bec for 5 house hold members my father in-law  income never meet the poverty guidelines can i choose the other option i want to tell u : my wife annual income for 2013 years is $13,600 and she has cash balance in her account some thing like $10,000  can i use only my wife as a primary sponsor ??? (not including her father and mother ) NVC will count her personal assets to meet poverty guide lines ???(poverty guide lines in our case for 2 house hold member is $19,387 ) Her annual income( $13,600) + personal bank balance ($10,000) assets will be little bit more then the poverty guide line   Edited by shivam23, 24 February 2014 - 12:14 AM.	shivam23	Male	India	2014-02-24 00:09:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	i-864 & co-sponsors	Wrong,   Your father in-law is a joint sponsor.  Second, he needs to also complete an I-8864.  Your mother in-law would complete an I-864A. kkk thx  my wife and father in-law has to write my information in part-2 (intending immigrant) on both of them  i-864 ???? and my father in-law already sponsored their relative (number of people-2) 3 years before and thy all r on LPR so ,how many house hold size will count including me !!!	shivam23	Male	India	2014-02-23 14:45:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	i-864 & co-sponsors	I get that I left of the "in-law" part and wrote part of my answer as if the OP was the petitioner.  However, his wife is the primary sponsor, her father the joint sponsor and her mother is her father's household member.  NOBODY is a co-sponsor on ANY I-864 EVER.   The OP, sadly is not reading the I-864 or it's instructions but is trying to get spoon fed the information on how the three Americans are supposed to complete forms in his behalf.  Read the instructions first. no sir i already filled the i-864 and i-864A but  i am confused now that's y i am posting my situation here u r senior to me in this situation please help me what to do and which forms  have to fill. we don't want any checklist from NVC	shivam23	Male	India	2014-02-23 13:56:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	i-864 & co-sponsors	Your father's household size does not include you.  He is not your household member.  He is the joint sponsor.  His household will include himself, his spouse, any "dependent children" and any immigrants previously sponsored that are NOW green card holders.   You and your parents would only count as part of the same household if you were his dependent on tax returns (most recent) of if you were combining income.  HE does not need to combine income with you, so will not.   You are the immigrant on all forms.   NO.   then ??? my wife has to write my details in the part-2 and what my father in law has to write in part-2 of their i-864 ???	shivam23	Male	India	2014-02-23 13:37:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	i-864 & co-sponsors	You need two I-864 forms.  One from your wife and one from her father, then one I-864a from the mother.  This is the only way the father's household size can accurately and reliably be stated.  I-864 is for combining income or for joint filing spouse.  Your father is not combining income with your wife, so he needs his own I-864 and will serve as joint sponsor, not "household member". thank you for the response  Then how many house hold members we have to count including me???  4 or 3 !!!!   The other question is my father in-law already sponsored some one ( their relative) 3 years before so, they have to mentioned all the previous details in the I-864 form ??? Also, my wife have to write my name and details in part-2 (information of the principle immigrant) and my father in-law as well in the form  i-864  ??? please describe me in detail !!!!	shivam23	Male	India	2014-02-23 13:31:00

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	Refused	It is unfortunate that your fiance was denied his visa. I understand your frustration about ilegal immigrants, people on welfare and so on but it doesn't make it one notch unfair the drug use. I believe that we are in a process where we need to be in our best behavior, aether we are in our country or not. Drug use is drug use no matter what. Unless you have a prescription from a Dr then I would think otherwise. I believe we shouldn't judge not criticize others when drug use no matter what is bad. Drugs are as wrong as those "Ilegal Immigrants" and others are. Just my personal thought.	Samberb0408	Female	El Salvador	2013-09-18 00:49:00
