Hi All,

I applied intent to sponsor my mom and similarly, my wife showed intent to sponsor her mom.
Both of us got the invite to sponsor our parent yesterday . So I need to show income for 4 people.

We both have good salaries now and get a combined income of $135000/yr now, which is way above the expected LICO. But only in 2019, the income is less by required 4000$(See in RED).

In there any way my application for mom & mother-in-law, with my wife as co-signer be accepted.

I didn't expect both of them to get the invite at the same time. Kindly help with your suggestions!!

Thanks in advance!

My partner himself didn’t have the required income in 2018 for not much and we missed it. They sent us a letter saying he didn’t meet the requirements and asked us to resubmit the form as me being a co-signer or wait for a final decision from the officer and then appeal on humanitarian grounds. If you don’t have the requirements for all of the 3 years, they will inform you of the rejection and redirect your application to another office for a final decision. Then you can appeal.

You meet LICO or you don't. There are no exceptions so your application will be refused if you apply for both parents.

So need to get some clarification.
Both you and your wife each only have a mother that's alive and you want to sponsor. Is that correct?
And each mother do not have any spouse or dependent?

So you met income for 3 in family size for all 3 years but not 4.

That's correct!! But mine and my wife's income is less and I need to have my wife as co-signer and similarly for her if she applies, I need to be the cosigner.

Then you need a family meeting. Only 1 of the mothers can be sponsored this time.
If you submit both, both applications will be refused since your income do not meet that for family of 4.

And we have seen ppl posting here for refusal because they are less than $1000 below the required incomet. Some got lucky and went thru appeal and some file H&C with lawyers. I don't know the out come of those.

You need to make a decision on which parent to sponsor. You can only sponsor one parent. You don’t meet LICO for 4 people.

If your husband go selected he can sponsor his parents. If the application where you were the primary applicant had been selected then you could apply for your parents. Did you and your husband both apply to sponsor parents?
No just for my parents, my husband parents are already citizens here.
