I 864A

[alth 0]

I have a question to ask you guys . if anyone knows about this please help. I am the principal immigrant. I am unemployed but I want to help my husband's income to meet the requirement by using my savings account. Do I need to file I 864A? Thanks

I don't think that would be allowed, unless you transfer your money from your account to your husband's account. Petitioner is the one who is the main sponsor and he can take help of any joint sponsor who needs to have a United states domicile.

A few countries do allow the immigrant to be the sponsor but I doubt Thailand does that.

Are you the only beneficiary or you have any child/ren too?

Read carefully 864 instructions. It does say somewhere there that principal immigrant's (beneficiary's) assets can be used to meet the requirements.

I did not have to, but still my wife got a bank verified statement of her savings acct, and we included, just in case the more the better. I just put it on the 864 where assets are listed, there is a even a space provided for that.

Thank you very much for your reply. My husband is going to use his asset and the value of his asset is enough to meet requirements but I am just afraid that the support documents of his asset might be not perfect and if it's like that . the consular can use mine. I put mine just in case.

Oh and I have another question. Must I need the bank statements covering the last 12 months?

Hi Silent Thank you for your reply. No I don't have any children.Infact I e mailed the Embassy and they told me that my husband can submit financial documents that demonstrate that his finances are three times the amount of poverty guidelines such as stocks and bonds, bank accounts with savings . I am not sure if they are gonna accept my asset or not in Bangkok but I saw in theI 864 form that intending immigrant can add the value of his/her asset.I's like to try. I just hope that they will.

I would think that the more statements you have the better, or they can put in a statement date opened, or for the last 12 months. The more the better. I do not think it has to be 12 months, but they will look at how long it was.

I got a statement from my bank in US with date account opened, and average amount. My wife got similar statement from her bank, with date opened and amount.

Just make sure it's in English

Thanks Fedup but let me ask you last question about this. As my husband is USC so the value of his asset is reduced to 3 times. What about mine, mine is reduced too or must be 5 times? Thank you very much

Since he is the petitioner, USC husband, and you are the only beneficiary, it is being calculated together, as 1 requirement for 1 864 form.

So it should be 3 times the difference between poverty level and total assets+income, combined, both of your assets that you will put on 864.

So for example poverty level is 18,000, last year proven income is 10,000. so you will need 8,000 X 3 = 24,000 TOTAL, his assets + your assets, as long and it can be documented and proven.

Make sure you can provide valid proof that you had the assets for a while, they will be looking at how long, so it can not be a short term loan or something like that... so statements would help.
