Ok, here is the situation. My wife (USC) is sponsoring my green card and we have filed all the forms in Chicago lock box. Now I got a RFE for I-485 requesting "Affidavit of support" form I-864. I was under the impression that as I am already living in US and working full time (H1B), we didn't need to file I-864. I guess we were wrong.
My question is, does my wife have to make $16K + for last three tax years or currently she needs to make $16K +? She graduated from college last year and started working full time in january, 2004. So in 2004 she made way above $16K, but in 2003 and 2002 she barely made any money as she was in college.
I called USCIS customer service, the lady rudely told me that my wife (sponsor) needs to make $16K + for all three (2002, 2003, 2004) tax years. Now we don't want our family get involve as joynt sponsor unless we absolutely don't have to.
Your comments/suggestions are greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
