Unmarried son of USC has to support himself?
- Thread starter rbakker
- Start date
No. The sponsor (US Citizen parents) has to proove that they can support their son/daughter and won't be public charge.rbakker said:Hello All,
If you apply for a GC via the route of a US Citizen parent sponsoring you, does the persone being sponsored (unmarried son over 21) have to prove that they can support themselves? The form is, I believe, I-130.
many thanks
They have to have income above 125% of poverty line( http://www.avlawoffice.com/March_2005_POVERTY_GUIDELINES.pdf) according to household size. If they are retired then they can show their assets. Form I864 which needs to be filed along with form I485 has all information. Visit here http://uscis.gov/graphics/howdoi/child.htm for more information.rbakker said:Thanks Amishah,
That would make sense - they are called the "sponsor". Does anyone know how the parent proves that they can support the candidate? Is there a certain amount of money they need to have in the bank?
thanks again
Thanks again Amishah.
In my case the US Citizen is retired. Do you have any idea (I couldn't find it on the forms) what value of assets the USC has to show for each unmarried adult son or daughter? Also, if the son or daughter themselves can show assets to help their chances.
merci

De rien!
If your income is above 125% poverty level, you can show your salary as total household income. You will have to sign I-864A (contract between sponsor and household member), show evidence of employment (job letter, pay stub), tax return for past 3 years plus evidence of sharing domicle atleast past 6 months.

hi
The income requirement isn't determined on a "per-immigrant" basis. It is determined by total household size, including the number of immigrants you intend to sponsor. see this:
http://uscis.gov/graphics/formsfee/forms/files/I-864p.pdf
When the sponsor doesn't meet the income reqirements for his household size, he takes the difference between his income and the requirement and multiplies that by 5. (so if you are 10,000 short of the income requirement, you can show 50,000 in assets to still qualify)
The income of the sponsored immigrant can be included if he has been in your household for 6 months and fills out the 864a
a good faq about this is here:

good luck
