affidavit of support question

[afparks 0]

me again, can anyone tell me if is it possible that my husband can include all the asset we have here in my country. we buy a couple land here and he is seemed to be thinking we could include it on the affidavit of support as an asset. of course the land is just register on my name because he is a foreigner. Guys is he right to be thinking that we could use the land as one of the asset when its not name on him but on my name?

is the land located where the immigration will be u.s.a? are you the sponser?cause that makes a difference i think, but i do believe it can be used as an asset

He cannot use it as an asset on his I-864 or I-131 as he does not have title to it... he may have provided you the money to buy it, but he does not own it... In this case, it would have been better if he still had the cash that he used to buy it...

However, you could use it as your asset if the consulate would allow you to self-sponsor yourself...

afparks,

How fast could you sell the land, or borrow against it? For how much money? Both now and once you re-locate to the USA?

Land does not pay the bills, unless one is collecting rent from someone else's use of it. It needs to be converted into cash.

zyggy,

He can use it on his I-864 come adjustment time, since she is his Household Member. If they can get their money back out of it.

I agree that having the cash would be better.

Thanks everyone for the reply now were messed up because im the beneficiary and the land is named on me but of course my husband who is the petitioner is my beneficiary on the land. We spend so much money for that land because he was thinking we could add it as an asset for the affidavit of support. OH boy!!! if we save the cash then its more good than having that land. but anyway thanks everyone.

The land as an asset is probrably not going to help you anyway. They really are looking at the most recent years tax return anyway and any saving that has been in the bank for the past year.

that is what is confusing me....is an Affidavit of Support even required for the K3?

My husband reiceved his packet and it just states for him to bring my proof of employment. I only make 9 bucks an hour. so how would it work for me? any one have any idea???

I dunno bout that, we qualified based solely on the estimated profit from the sale of our house, i.e an asset. Our income didn't even count, neither of us.

Rob and Melinda,

Not true. Most important is current income, which may be different from last year's income. And if income is marginal or deficient, assets that are easily liquidated can be considered to compensate.

Hdz,

Use of I-134 is at the discretion of the consular officer processing the visa application. That being said, when a sponsor is required a consular officer is sure to want an I-134, along with other supporting documentation.
