I-864

[carlos16 0]

Hi All,

Here is a quick one...

My father in law is filling out a I-864 on my behald (Im the immigrant). He was kind enough to provide me with copies of his tax returns for the past three years with W2s. My question is: Does he NEED to provide a letter of employment and/or pay stubs or is that optional but not necessary?

Another question. My wife currently works for the UN here in Geneva part time and I also work. Question: When we move back to the US our employers will change, so do we include our income in a I-864 form eventhough the source of teh income will be different? or do we assume zero income for both of us for the purpose of this form?

Ok so maybe there are three questions...

Last one: My wife and I have about 57K in our joint checking accounts... I also own a property in the US. A couple of questions... 1) If the checking accounts are held jointly, where do we put the assets in her name or mine? does it even matter? 2) if we have zero income, can we use the assets for 100% of the difference, its not clear... and 3) what kind of evidence must I use to show the value of the apartment? Do I need an official appraisal?

THANKS!!!!

Tax info is all that is required. If you believe more information is needed to help your case, then provide it.

Another question. My wife currently works for the UN here in Geneva part time and I also work.

I would use the current income source. Since you are using a co-sponsor, it will not be that critical.

1. Both names can be used. (read this) Yes, under these conditions: (for the immigrants assets)

• The assets must be readily convertible to cash within 12 months
• The applicant must show that he/she can take the money or assets out of the country where they are located. Many countries have strict regulations which limit the amount of cash or liquid assets that can be taken out of the country
• The assets equal at least five times the difference between the sponsor's income and 125 percent of the poverty line for the household size.

2. Sponsors of immediate relative spouses and children of U.S. citizens must only show assets in the amount of three times the difference between the poverty guideline and actual household income. (125% poverty level)

3. In most cases, the sponsor must present evidence establishing location, ownership and value of each asset listed, including liens and liabilities for each asset listed.
