I-864 Affidavit of Support

[c3847 0]

I am a USC and have filed I-130 for my wife. Just to get ahead and get prepared for the next step, I am reviewing several forms.

One of them is Affidavit of Support. I have been working on my own business for the last two years. The business has yet to generate significant amount of income. As such, I am going to end up using assets to supplement the income to show the ability to support my wife.

In looking at the form, here are the 3 types of assets the form asks for:

1. Enter the balance of all savings and checking accounts

2. Enter the net cash value of real-estate holdings. (Net means current assessed value minus mortgage debt.)

3. Enter the net cash value of all stocks, bonds, certificates of deposit, and any other assets not already included in lines 26(a) or (b).

I have no problem meeting the guidelines (as anyone here either). The question is, do I really have to show ALL assets? I mean, that would add up to be quite a lot and I don't know that I want to show that much. It would end up being many times the required amount.

My question is, should I show more than sufficient amount of assets and that's good enough, or should I show EVERYTHING? I don't actually mind that much, but is it necessary to show everything?

Well, I am just going to show everything... Not really a big deal. Just find it a bit strange that they ask for everything instead of showing sufficient ability to support.
