Pink Slip

[Dan Nguyen 3]

Hello,

We went back to HCMC consulate today to submit the requested I-864A. No pink, after waiting almost three hours. Now they want proof of my dad's income. No 221(g) this time, the c/o just came out and said she wants some kind of proof of my dad's income. Like a paystub or something. As if the 1040 is not proof? Why didn't she ask for this at the same time she asked for the I-864A?

The pink slip is still there in our file. I'm a little confused. Who prepares the pink slip? USCIS, NVC, or the consular officer? If consular officer, then why doesn't she just hand it over? If our papers are not in order, why is there a pink slip?

1040 forms are evidence of past income. Pay stubs and current employer letters are evidence of current income. Sounds like a scan or fax of a pay stub showing year to date income will get you that pink slip. They are ready to issue the visa, once they have the needed evidence.

The I-864A instructions do mention supplying proof of income. You must have overlooked that part. The form 1040 does not tell anything about present income. Send in the information and it sounds like the visa is waiting.

My dad receive his payments by electronic ACH payments from Social Security Administration. How about bank statements showing these payments as there are no paystubs?

Yes bank statements and the award letter from Social Security will do nicely.

OK, we went back again yesterday. After another three hours of waiting they gave us a white paper saying my dad does not make enough money and to get a second sponsor.

Can I use my mom as the second sponsor? She lives in the same household. Can I have 2 househould members as sponsors?

If mom's income is enough on her own, then just use mom. If they need to combine income, then have one parent do an 864 and the other to an 864A to combine their incomes.

I thought the petitioner does the I-864 and the household members does the I-864A?

Not always. Do your parents have any other dependents? Or is it just the two of them?

[Dan Nguyen 3]

Just the two of them. I also share the same address, so I guess I have to include myself in household, which makes four including the immigrant.

My father submitted an I-864 as joint sponsor and c/o asked for I864A. We submitted the I-864A. C/O then said not enough income and to get a second joint sponsor. Now I'm going to add my mother as the second household member so I can use their combine income to meet the poverty guildelines.

Problem is I just not sure how to go about doing it.

If it's just your parents, then they need to have enough income for themselves plus your spouse.

If they are adding their incomes to yours then the household is you, your spouse, any children that you may have, plus your parents.

So the better way is to have my dad file an I-864 and include my mom as household member? Which means the household is three instead of adding their incomes to mine, which make the household size of five because we have a daughter.

But like I said before, c/o won't accept an I-864 from my dad.

We have a daughter in Vietnam. She is a USC. Do I have to include her in household?

Yes, you include her in your household count.

Is dad's income is less than $23,162? With mom's income added to dad's does it exceed $23,162?

[Dan Nguyen 3]

Yes, you include her in your household count.

What do you mean my household count? On my I-864?

Is dad's income is less than $23,162? With mom's income added to dad's does it exceed $23,162?

Yes, it does but only enough for a household of four, not five.
