Frequently Asked Questions
- How much income do I need to sponsor a family member for a green card?
- I-864 sponsors must show income at 125% of the federal poverty guideline for their household size (including the immigrant being sponsored). For a 2-person household in 2024, the minimum is approximately $24,650 annually. Export 12 months of bank statements to Excel to supplement your most recent tax return. USCIS considers bank statement income patterns when tax return income is insufficient — self-employed sponsors with a recent increase in business income can use current bank statements to show income growth beyond what last year's return shows.
- Can self-employed sponsors use bank statements when tax returns show low income?
- Yes. Self-employed I-864 sponsors often show low net income on tax returns due to business deductions, even when gross income is sufficient. Export 12 months of business bank statements to Excel to show gross business deposits, and provide an accountant letter explaining the difference between gross deposits and Schedule C net income. USCIS may accept a combination of: the most recent tax return, current bank statements showing ongoing income deposits, and a support letter from the accountant explaining the tax return income treatment. Joint sponsors with higher documented income can also be added to ensure the 125% threshold is met.
