Financial requirement .
Most of the time, there is no income criterion to sponsor your husband, partner, or dependent kid. You only need to demonstrate that you have enough money to meet the income requirements if and only if:
You're supporting a dependent child who has one or more dependent children, or you're sponsoring a spouse or partner who has a dependent child and their dependent child has one or more children.
The directions for the Financial Evaluation form describe how much money you'll need and how to fill out the form.
