Legal Question in Immigration Law in California

Re: Affidavit of Support

It depends on location and family size and you can use a co sponsor,

Re: Affidavit of Support

At least 125% of the 2009 Poverty Level, depending on the size of the family. That's $18,212.50 per year gross income for a family of two (husband and wife), $22,887.50 for a family of three, and $4,675 more for each person above that.

Re: Affidavit of Support

This depends on the number of dependents and your household size plus where you live. Check out the poverty guidelines of HHS for a chart of the figures. If he doesn't meet the guideline, he can in other ways, including having a co-signer (called joint or co-sponsor). But even if he doesn't meet the figure by his income, if he has assets three times that amount in net value, then that's another way of meeting it. If your husband is not the U.S. citizen in the family, there are new rules that allow counting his income if he had a work permit at the time.
