Re: annual incomes

You might know this already, but your income has to be at least 125% of the poverty guidelines to meet the requirements of affidavit of support. However, I�ve had cases when the petitioner�s income was less then the amount mentioned above, but the petitions were still approved. The reason these petitions were approved because I suggested to my clients to either have a member of their family �sponsor� them or provide the information on their or beneficiary�s savings, trust finds, inheritance, real estate ownership and so forth. It is a good idea to have an immigration attorney help you get this paperwork ready. If you decide to consult one, I would be happy to help you.
