What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? A family of 2 household size main sponsor is filing Form I-864 for a family of 4 since this family's income is below the Poverty Guide line threshold for 6 ( Including 4 Intending immigrants) a joint sponsor Household size 3 plus 4 intending immigrants (Total 7) with income more then threshold for 7 is filing
the Form I 864 as joint sponsor. Is this counting OK
The Main Sponsor has a spouse, equaling a family of 2.
The Sponsored Immigrants total 4.
The total for the Main Sponsor is 6.
The Main Sponsor's income is not sufficient for 6.
The Joint Sponsor has a spouse and one other person included, equaling 3.
The Joint Sponsor will sign for all the Sponsored Immigrants-4
The total for the Joint Sponsor is 7 people.
The Joint Sponsor's income IS sufficient for 7 people.
Yes Sir, You are right. As a matter of fact the ambiguity lies in counting the intending immigrant family of 4 twice and also including the main sponsor family of 2 with the house hold of Joint sponsor, making it 13 which seems illogical.
Since the main sponsor did not meet the income threshold of poverty guideline for
6 he/ she looked for a joint sponsor to bear the responsibility of 4 intending immigrants
counting them with the joint sponsors house hold size making it 7 while the income threshold for 7 is $ 40,000.00 and the joint sponsors income is $ 41,512.00, which
means he/ she fully qualifies to sponsor as a joint sponsor capable of taking the
responsibility of 3 plus 4. The joint sponsor is not taking the responsibility of the main sponsor either whether his income is zero or more. In your expert opinion the counting of 13 is correct or the counting of 7 as per Law .
You never count the Immigrants twice.
You are correct, the Joint Sponsor does NOT need to 'sponsor' the Main Sponsor because he is presumably a US citizen or Permanent Resident himself and does not require sponsorship.
Your assumption is correct all along, please see my example in my first reply.
(it's a horrible form)
