ok i am confused i hope someone can help me... on my knees begging lol

I will give you a quick scenerio..

i am the usc and my husband is german. I am currently living here with him in Germany and we are sending in our I130 on tuesday .. We are doing DCF.

i was looking over the I864 and am getting nervous.. I currently do not work. I have been living in germany for 7 months and havent worked here. I did file taxes last year and had an income but not enough to meet the requirements for this form. and now obviously i am not working until i get back to the states . I do have 3 years of taxes to show but two of the years was with my ex husband with his income so i think i cant use that???

and my dad is retired but has alot of property assets.. he is willing to use his assets to help me but can he? after reading this all with co sponsers . i heard the only assets you can use is the petitioners assets and only family members who reside with you .. so i cant use my dad then right with his assets?? i own a home .. maybe that will help? i am scared i wont be able to show enough for this poverty level thing. can someone clear this all up for me?

Owning a home is a huge help. The main sponsor (you) or the joint sponsor (your dad) can show assets to prove ability to support the immigrant. The different is that you would only have to show three times the necessary income and your dad would have to show five times the necessary income. The joint sponsor can be any USC domiciled in the US - so your dad can be the joint sponsor.

If it is just you and your husband, and the equity in your home is more than $52,500 USD, then you do not actually need a joint sponsor. You need to show proof of the equity with a recent home evaluation (as in, would need to set up a new one now) and either proof that you own the home outright or proof that the difference between the value of the home and the remaining mortgage is sufficient. If the equity in your home isn't as much as $52,500 or is really cutting it close, I would have your dad fill out the I-864 as the joint sponsor.

As joint sponsor, your dad needs to show enough assets to support himself, his wife if he has one, any dependents, and the immigrant. If he is unmarried and has no dependents, then he would need to show assets of $87,500 USD. Assets need to be able to be made into cash within one year. Savings, checking accounts, and equity in a home are all good ones.

ok so.. my father has assets estimated at half a million dollars. but he has no income as he is retired. so he could just use his assets without having an income right? and for me my house is estimated worth of 80 thousand if i sold it. however i owe the bank 50 thousand still. so they would have to use the 30 thousand because that is what i have after i sold it correct? and i have a stepchild i will also be getting a visa for.. so the total of dependents would be Me, hubby, stepdaughter and i have two children too. so a total of 5 people.

The equity in your house isn't enough, but your dad can be the joint sponsor. You still fill out the I-864 as the main sponsor and your household total is still five. Your dad would fill out a second I-864, but you and your USC children do not count in his household total. His household total, assuming he is unmarried and does not have dependents, would be three - himself, your husband, and your stepdaughter. His assets are more than enough to show sufficient support. If it's property, he needs to get a recent valuation and show proof of his equity. It's just a matter of filling out the forms and getting the supporting documents though so no need to feel nervous!
