Income on A of S

[Motropuk 0]

Hi All

Finally got an interview date for IR-1 visa in London. I have filled via DCF.

We have filled in the A of S but now just questioning one thing. My wife who is the US citizen and also the petitioner is currently employed in the UK where we live. We have put down her current income on the A of S. However, she will be leaving that job when we move to the states so her income once we get to the US until we land jobs will be 0.

We have therefore put her Dad down as joint household member (as we are moving in with her folks) and used his income too.

Question is do we put down my wifes current income on the form or put down that she is unemployed and put a future date for this? Only reason is her current income is enough that we would not need to use her Dad's income too but I just think the embassy will turn around and ask what she will be earning once we get to the USA. Or should we leave it as it is with her current income and her Dad's income and then explain at the interview?

Hope that makes sense?

Thanks

Jon

If her Dad is co-sponsoring, his income will be the one providing the coverage, so just prove that.

Your wife will not need to show income (as it will stop anyway when she leaves the UK, it wouldn't count anyway).

She will still need to fill out her own affidavit of support though.

Because your wife IS employed I would suggest you mark the box for "employed" and state that it will not continue after you move to the states. On your wife's I-864 as some folks on this website have done, she could convert her salary from British pounds into US dollars and quote the exchange rate off to the side.

As I understand her father is going to co-sponsor but he is NOT a joint household member as you are filing DCF so he will need to fill out his own I-864 with his income and documentation.

Hi All

Thanks very much for the help. I will put down the conversion rate and state that the job will end and will also change her Dad to a Joint sponsor. Thanks for that we were both very confused as to the difference between a household member and a joint sponsor so thanks for clearing that up.
