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!
