how much income do i need to sponsor my parents in usa

Short answer

To sponsor your parents for a green card in the U.S., you must demonstrate an income of at least 125% of the Federal Poverty Guidelines for your household size. For 2023, this is approximately $22,000 for a household of two. You will need to provide Form I-864 (Affidavit of Support) and proof of income, such as tax returns and pay stubs. Processing times can vary, so check the USCIS website for updates. Verify current rules on official government or embassy sites as requirements change.
