Interview on the 30th

[Laura_and_IanM 0]

Hiya everyone! Ian and I are getting all the paperwork together for his interview on Monday. I am a bit confused about how to use Ian's assets for the affadavit of support. Also, because I haven't been working for the past two years apart from the job I have had since being here in the UK, would I be able to use that still as income, or should I even bother with it at all since Ian's assets amount to at least triple the amount required for all three years?? Also, since he has not transfered the funds yet into US dollars, but has already opened a bank account over in Buffalo NY so he can transfer the money fro,m his account over here to there, what should he have to prove this? Will a statement from the bank be enough?

Sorry for so many questions, but really want to know the best way around this. Thanks in advance.

Have you filed your US taxes?

Capital has to be 10x the Income equivalent, not sure whether your numbers add up.

I have my tax transcripts for 2001-2004, but they were from when I was still married to my ex husband. As far as the 10x the Income equivalent, where do you see this at? If you read the affidavit of support, it says you have to show assets 3 times the amount. Which is equivalent to 3 years years. Our poverty guideline is for a family of 2 which is 16,500 a year. Ian's assets total to a little over $200,000 dollars. Surely that is enough? Plus he has annuities that will reach their maturity within 2 years that are an additional $45,000 dollars.

I must have had a typo brain block with 10x, I meant 5x.

As they are his I assume 5x would be the case but it does not matter as either way you are over.

What about your tax return for last year?

I don't understand--what's the question?

Your UK job doesn't 'count' on the I-864, but it counts in your totality of circumstances. Attach a letter explaining what you've been doing and what you plan on doing once in the US.

We lobbed a bunch of the UKC's assets on the I-864; the assets were kept in the UK.

I used photocopies of investment statements & copies of bank passbooks for the UK accounts. I used a print out from xe.com to make the pounds to dollar conversion.

You will need a letter explaining where your last 2 years' returns are.

Hiya Meauxna...we dont fill out the I-864. We fill out the I-134. Will that make a difference?

Yes, it will. Write your info on a form I-134 not I-864.

I think yoiu still need to document everything just as carefully. Add any evidence that London specifically asks for for a K case.

Best wishes for a great interview!
