Question in I-134 Form.

[sdkumar]

I am sponsoring my parents visitors visa, and both me and my wife work.
In I-134 (affidavit of support) form under question # 7 (My Annual Income info), can we put our combined annual incomes, though my wife is not the sponsor?

Thanks.

yes, if your income is not substantial

How much is substantial?

[knowledgeable]

Ah!

There's no specific number for substantial. Basically it's upwards on the poverty line income of average American.

I've known many cases where the annual income was US$36,000 and they were able to sponsor 2 to 3 people easily.

However, in your position, I'd say your income will be definitely much more than US$50,000 so, you're good.

Also, if you want to add your spouse's income, you can do so, it'll add to the 'weight'.

Note that many a time, your information may not even be looked into and your people will get their visas.

Good luck.
