Ah ok, gotcha! Well I put our numbers into the portal and it didn't say anything like that. Good luck with getting hold of them again

Thanks! Just got off the phone now. Got a nice guy this time. He gave me the IIN and the Beneficiary ID. I have no idea what the latter is for, but since he offered, I was more than happy to take it down.

Now time to enter this info into the system and see what happens.

So, looks like the representative wasn't lying. I got a message that looks terrifying-ish, but with proper foreknowledge of the situation isn't so concerning (see attached image).

I guess I'll have to wait for further instructions.

Hello everyone.

I've enjoyed a brief vacation from this immigration process! It's been 4 weeks since NOA2 so it's time to start working on the affidavit of support...

A popular advice on VJ is to leave nothing blank on the I864 and enter "N/A" instead. I'm tempted to ignore this advice and go with the form instructions which state to leave these spaces blank. What are people's thoughts on this?

The current individual annual income on part 6 line 5 of the I864 is a bit tricky: Should this be inclusive or exclusive of any 401k deferral contributions? I ask because the "total income" figures on line 13 are exclusive of 401k contributions and therefore lower than my actual individual income for those years.

I'm the USC petitioner. My wife is British (now a USC!!!), generally awesome, and amazingly patient.

I hope you enjoyed your break! :D

An NVC operator advised me to write "N/A" on items that don't apply to me.

Are you on the NVC thread? If not, I recommend joining us over there (I believe that same question was recently asked and answered in there) :)

Thanks. It's been great not thinking about this for one month.

I looked back and googled the April NVC thread and didn't really find any specific answers re: 401k and where specifically people received checklists for not putting in an "N/A". In the wiki, Saylin specifically mentions the residential address but that's it.

Are you receiving disbursements of your 401K? If not, I don't think you need to list it..... I do recommend asking this question in that thread, as the people active in there are at various stages of NVC and may have an answer for you. Saylin still responds to questions when she logs in if she sees it hasn't been answered. If the difference is not going to make-or-break whether or not you meet the income guidelines I don't think it makes a difference, but I suggest asking in that thread as this process is still fresh for those of us in here who recently got approved :)

Someone else had a question about Part 6 Line 5 specifically I believe.... but I think it might have been about whether to include property assets.
