More details to this question:
i have 2 children (under 18) that im responsible for and would like to sponsor my fiancée( three person household plus my fiancee makes four). How much money do i need to make a year to show i am financially able to support him when he gets to the US.
Google the 2011 federal poverty guidelines. Look at the 125% chart. Add yourself, all dependents and your fiance. Look up that number and it will tell you the exact amount you need to make! (You can also use a joint sponsor or the asset test if you do not meet the requirements.)
For family of four, you will need to make about $28,000. If you do not have enough, you can always ask other US citizen or permanent resident to be your co-sponsor.
