Question"s about G-325-A

[nwendricks 0]

I am just starting my petition process. My question is this. I have been working for my parents for the last six years at their bar for room and board. Technically I am classified as unemployed. I know that I can file a second affidavit of support and my parents are willing to do this. My question is there a good chance the petition will be denied if I write unemployed on the G-325-A? Also during what step in the petition process will I have to file the affidavit of support form? Or can I attach a signed and notarized letter from my parents that I indeed work for them I just don't make enough money to file for taxes to the G-325-A. Please help I am really worried about this.

You have to file the last 3 years of tax returns so notwithstanding the support affidavit from your parents not sure how you will navigate around this.

So long as your parents have enough money to file the affidavit of support then there is no problem. Immigration don't care who has the money, just so long as someone does The affidavit of support comes into play at the interview stage of the process. For the initial petition they are not concerned about support.

I don't personally know if you should've filed taxes or not. I thought if you had no money you didn't have to. But make double sure that you are exempt just to be sure. (And if you find you should've filed in the past three years, then do it now.) People have to file if they're receiving certain grants or unemployment benefits.

Start here and answer the questions:

Generally, for the tax year 2009, if your gross income was less than $9350 then you would not be required to file a return. The exceptions are listed on the first page of the Q&A I provided the link to above.

Your petition will not be denied if you're unemployed. At this point in the process, it's USCIS job to determine if you meet the requirements to file a petition, and there are no income requirements to file a petition. Your income, and that of your co-sponsor, will need to be documented when the consulate determines if your fiancee is eligible to receive a visa. You and your co-sponsor will need to submit an affidavit of support, which your fiancee will bring to the visa interview.
