125% of poverty line? I134
 

hi there! i have a question...
i will be having my mother as my joint sponsor for my hubbys K3 petition because i am unemployed.
I am fixing up the Affidavit of Support documents for my mother and I. I will be submitting my ITR 2000 and my moms ITRs in the last 3 years.
I dont understand the 125% of poverty line....are those numbers ...salary in a month or salary in a year? my mom has a household size of 7 once my hubby arrives...how much should her salary be in a month or in a year to be at the 125% of poverty line?

thanks for any info!

You are kidding, right?
Do you really think the poverty level is possibly $28000 per month???(80
percent of 125 percent is 100 percent and 80 percent of 35000 is 28000)

Re: 125% of poverty line? I134
 

Not kidding - 125% poverty level for family of 7 is $34,175.

Damn but if it were a month, few people would be able to sponsor an alien !!!!

Its annual = yearly.

Rete

Rete, don't give these idiots any ideas....

poverty line
 

my dad is having to co sponsor my husband and he will have to show income to meet the requirements for a household of 6.

BTW, don't the sponsor AND the co-sponsor have to have the last 3 years tax returns to date?

It depends on what the consulate wants.
Not all consulates want tax returns. Some want w-2s.
Moscow, as I read here, doesn't even want the I-134 form.
Have whatever the consulate wants.
