Sponser eligibility for I-864

[orgcudede]

After having my university education in a foreign country I came back to US on Feb 2011 together with my parents. I'm an USC and my parents are in US as tourists. I will file for them I130 together with I485 as they are my immediate relatives. I rented my house, bought my car and as of April, I have a part time job which I make around $15.000 and I saved money while education and have $20.000 in my savings account. I think these two will work to reach the $23.163 poverty level. I never filed any thing about tax and I don't have a tax background. So my question is: Will this be a problem when I will be filing the I864. Am I eligible enough to sponser my parents an when will I fill the I864. Thanks for the answers.

Your question is not clear at all. When you say $20.000, do you mean $20 or $20 thousand?

$20.000 twenty thousand dollars

Actually, income alone should be atleast 125% of the poverty level. If that doesn't meet the requirement, you can use your assets (savings account in your case), in which case you need to show 5 times the the difference between 125% of poverty level and income. So if $23,163 is the required income and $15,000 is your actual income, you need to show ($23,163-$15,000) x 5 = $40,815 in savings/other assets that can be liquidated in a reasonable time. If your car is new, you can show it's resale value less loan balance.

Hope this helps.

Another option would be finding a co-sponsor to meet the poverty guidelines.

Are you sure your parents can do adjustment of status (I-485) while on tourist visa? That may raise some eyebrows.

Your parents can apply for AOS without any problems. For I-864, you can get anyone willing to be a co-sponsor making enough money. Does NOT have to be a relative....

God Bless!
