Question by Guy in New York: Questions about bringing my wife from the Dominican Republic?
This is a repost, organized questions for easier reading :).
(I saved the previous responses to overview, thanks!)

I’m a US citizen that met a girl in the Dominican Republic around 3 years ago, married her this summer (July) and want to bring her to New York where I reside.

I filed for the i130 document and received an approval notice (preliminary), the person helping us in this matter filed recently an i129f document which would help my spouse arrive here while we wait for the process.

I am a 23 year old, make around $ 16,000 a year on free lance computer repairs. However I have never reported taxes and am sure that will be an issue.
I rent a room in a house, have a vehicle, pay all my bills on time, have good credit.
My sister can write up a letter from her company stating that my wife is assured a job there once she arrives.

Person I had in mind as a co-signer is a close cousin who makes around 60K a year. However he co-signed for his wife’s brother a few years ago (now her brother is here) and he recently co-signed for another family member that wants to come here.

My questions are the following:
-How would my tax issue affect this?
(Should I pay now, or tax season?)
-I would have to declare a bit more than what I make to meet requirements and pay the adjusted tax right? (
believe its $ 18,000 or so)
-Is my cousin an option as a co-signer? Or should I find someone else with less obligation?

Well that’s about it, I really appreciate your time, Thank you very much.

you should always pay taxes when due, never in advance.
If you declare more then you pay more,, kinda stupid in paying more taxes… they take enough…..
If your cousin will sign and it goes through then there is no problem…
