DCF in France......affidavit of support

[Chamonix-Dallas 0]

HELLO !!!

I would like to know about everyone's experiences at the embassy in Paris.

I'm French, my husband is a USC. We got married in Texas and came back to France. He has is "carte de séjour". We plan to move back to Texas soon (maybe 1 or 2 years).

I've been married before and have 3 children, but 2 of them don't want to move with us now (maybe later !).

I think a DCF is the easiest way, but im worried about the affidavit of support. My husband is in France with me, so he has no income in US !! and his familly doesn't qualifie to support us, regarding to the poverty guideline.

And i've been reading that some couples didn't need this AOS, that nobody at the embassy asked for it !!!

So i would like to know how it was for you.....

Thanks for your help !!!!!

Hello! DCF is definitely the best option in your situation. Where did you read that some couples didn't have to provide the I-864 (affidavit of support) at the embassy in France? Was it definitely for immigrant visas? I really can't imagine that happening.

Are you sure no one in his family qualifies to support? Income and assets can be used and only the immigrants, not any USCs, would be in the joint sponsor's household size. For example, if you only bring one child with you and the joint sponsor is married but has no dependents, the sponsor's household size is 4 and they need an annual income of $26,500 USD or if they have no income, then assets of about $133,000 USD. Assets can be savings, short-term CDs, home equity, etc - basically anything that can be turned into cash within one year. The sponsor can also use a combination of income and assets to meet the requirements.

Hello MargotDarko !

Thanks for your fast reply !!

I've been reading this on some forums, but it wasn't at the embassy in Paris, but in Moroco, Egypt,.... and yes, it was for immigrant visas, through marriage or dv lottery.

I'm sure no one in his family qualifies to support ...... maybe if its possible to have more than one joint sponsor like a combination of incomes from different sponsors !!
