affidavit of support

[nialljc32 0]

when filing the i-864a affidavit, can i use my us citizen relatives income who lives abroad (ireland) ?

i know it states that the relative must reside in the us, but are there ever exemptions made?

he files his us tax returns every year and would certainly be able to support us financially if needed.

thanks for any responses:)

I-864A sponsor must share the same household as the petitioner/sponsor. They could use form I-864 but their residence abroad must be temporary. See page 6 of the I-864 instructions.

I doubt that exceptions would be made, as it would be more difficult for the US government to go after someone's money if they do not live here in the US, and the instructions are quite clear. That being said, I never read of anyone asking for an exception.

thanks for the reply penguin, we may have hit a speed bump here. asking my friend that we will stay with to sign the i-864a might strain the friendship.....grrrr delays, delays!
