CURIOUS AOS FUNCTION

[Sean86 31]

Hey Guys

This might be ahead of time but i just wanted to check that if it is possible to do AOS form i-864 just based solely on assets ( I.E. BANK SAVINGS ) from overseas fiance. The savings will be in a U.S. Bank account though.

does anyone has any idea in relation to this ???

Regards

Sean

By the time you are using the I=864 form he will be your spouse so they, an immigrating spouse's assets can be used. For the first part (I-134 for the K1 interview) no, usually they cannot be used but some US embassies make exceptions. You may also want to consider putting the savings in joint names, this would be a strong case for the bonafides of the relationship- co-0mingling of assets is important.

Sometimes they will not allow this because the money hasn't been in the account long enough they could think that family is "loaning" you the money to pass requirements. I personally wouldn't count on it and would start looking into co-sponsors in case they reject it.

If that is the case why would they say on the i-864 that the intending immigrants assets could be used towards it ????

Because it is allowed, but you may need to show where it comes from. Ie if the money comes from the immigrant, it being in a joint account helps, to show co-mingling of assets. If it's from a family member, why aree they giving you a substantial amount of money? Have them write a letter of explanation (for example wedding gift from dad, he did the same for your older sister or whatever).

Because sometimes the intending immigrant already lives in the US (student visa, work visa, visitor visa) and has assets there (many situations allow this). Or a job already in the US.. it's not JUST for K1 AOS applicants. Like I said, they MIGHT permit it but just have something lined up just in case.
