I-864 question

[BurningInAgony 0]

My uncle has filed for AOS in the US for his wife, but since he is no longer working can he be qualified on his part time income or about $5500/year. He has enough assets to satisfy PL times 5 ( in cash, house, stocks). He has no other dependants?

Only 3 x is now required. Have a read of the New Rule regarding Affidavit of Support - I-864

BurningInAgony,

Your uncle can live on $5,500 per year income? I hope his wife is an ascetic also. Or is she the one who's got the income to keep them alive?

I suspect that there's more to the financial situation that you're not sharing, possibly involving those assets.

Yordak, Thanks for your suspicion, My uncle was working for KPMG ( only if you know the firm) for last 15 years, making significant amout of money and has a house paid for. Yordak, lots of people save money for thier early retirement instead blowing them off. They do not live on the street and depend on social security.

So nxet time before you suspect think of a wise man who is not reqired to work anymore.

BurningInAgony,

I know KPMG well.

I now suspect that my previous suspicion was correct. Are you sure that your uncle's income is only $5,500 per year? (He's quite possibly spending that much on property taxes alone.)

It is not worth to argue with someone who thinks posting on forums and title of some senior member gives them authority to question someone's hard earned money. May be they should question Bill Gates next year after he lives the workforce how is he able to live on $0/year income. The simple fact is people save money and live happy.

My intention was to ask VJ members if someone could qualify based on their assets as a major resource

BurningInAgony,

Now I know for sure that you are missing my point entirely. Bill Gates may be leaving Microsoft next year, but he will not be living on an income of $0 per year.

Let me be a bit more direct - are your uncle's assets going completely untouched? Or are some of them providing an income? An inome not included in the $5,500 you mentioned.
