What if I Do Not Make Enough Money to Support My Relative in his/her Immigration Petition?

What if I Do Not Make Enough Money to Support My Relative in his/her Immigration Petition?

The I-864 Affidavit of Support must indicate that your income is sufficient to maintain the intending immigrant at 125 percent of the most current annual Federal Poverty Guidelines.

If you have a lower income, here are a few options that may be available to you to assist with reaching the required income amounts:

• Using the Intending Immigrant’s Income
• Combining assets such as real-estate holdings, stocks, bonds, etc with your income
• Using a Joint Sponsor (does not have to be a relative or household member)
• Using income from any household relatives

 Every case is different, and that is why it is critical to seek legal help through this process. Give us a call today!
