Anyone done the I 864 with Assets?

[Steph0814 1]

Hi All.

First, I am asking for other peoples experience with using Assets (IE: Houses) with the I 864 (and this would be a main form of the USC's Support of Affidavit).

I have read and re read the directions, I consulted with an attorney and I am not trying to be rude here but I don't need links for me to "read the guides" and or "counseling" on this matter.

I just would like to hear some other's experience in this specific case? Which is using assets for the I 864?

Thanks all

Assets are important. Predictable, steady annual income at 125% of the poverty level is much more important to the USCIS. Having a mortgage-free house is a wonderful asset, and should be included in the I 864, but how will it support a couple day in and day out? That's the evidence they want to have.

I understand that, but it clearly states the following:

Assets may supplement income if the consular or immigration officer is convinced that the monetary value of the asset couldreasonably be made available to support the sponsoredimmigrant and converted to cash within one year withoutundue harm to the sponsor or his or her family members.

With Owning 8 houses this could be done easily

We won't need to do AoS, but we filed the I-864 for my IR-1 at the embassy with assets only (a mortgage free house in the USA in both our names and a bank account in the US in the USC's name only). It was approved no problem.

Ok, so I spoke with 2 lawyers this morning (just to be double sure) as i started to get concerned becuase so many people on here were telling me I couldn't use my husbands assets for the I864 RFE!

WRONG! I am quite able to and after looking at my paperwork they both said it would more than satisfy the USCIS. (Assets in the 300, 000's should do it)

So let's all stay positive and keep the negative thoughts away and off I go with the rest of the journey.

And I really feel for all of you that have received RFE's, you are in my thoughts.

Elight income-producing houses should do it!
