Hi all,

If my parents are sponsoring my husband and I and make enough where their income is sufficient, is it necessary that my husband (Chilean/Swiss) or I (USC) include our financial information in our NVC packet?

We are both earning money abroad right now so it's not going to really count in the US anyways. I'm leaning towards not including it, just wanted to make sure that was ok.

Thanks! besos.

As the petitioner, you are required to file the I-864. There are no exceptions. Not including it will delay your case until you file the I-864.

You (the USC) are the primary sponsor regardless of whether you are able to meet the requirements or not. You will have to submit a signed I-864 (which will ask about current income) along with the required documents at NVC.

I would include the current income (converted into USD) if I were you, as the form asks specifically about current income. Whether or not it qualifies is for them to decide.. even though we already know what they will decide. :hehe:

If you are really paranoid, it can't hurt to include a short letter explaining why you fill it out that way.

If you want to go one step further, bring a spare I-864 to the interview in case the IO wants you to fill it out differently.

No problem at all! That's what the VJ community is here for.

I am quite a detail-oriented perfectionist who was "really paranoid" when filling out the paperwork for our CR-1 submission. Drove my husband insane because I made him check and re-check the papers countless times to ensure we didn't miss anything. :whistle:

Good luck on the rest of your journey. :thumbs:
