Affadavit of Support Question

[jolsen87 0]

So my husband and I are both living in Korea, and as such, we do not have a US income to show that I can support him. My dad is going to sponsor him but I'm confused on a few important parts!

1. Does only my dad fill out the affadavit of support, or do I ALSO fill one out to show my lack of income?

2. Does his income only need to cover my husband, or is he supporting BOTH of us?

Thanks so much! We hope to schedule our interview in Seoul soon!

thanks! lovin' the speedy reply! as for 1. I don't have any tax papers from the last few years [Peace Corps straight to working in Korea] so I guess I just fill it out without them?

Yep- add a short, one paragraph letter with your original signature explaining why you were not required to file taxes.

I gave an explanation about taxes in your previous thread on this same subject. Did you see that? It's kind of important to know if you were required to file or didn't because you thought being out of the country was a valid reason.

P.S. If you filed your US taxes to reflect your Korean teaching income, there's a good chance Seoul will take it. We had an interview at Seoul a couple weeks ago. We're a family of 3 and my teaching income in Korea was just enough to meet the guideline for the last year (although in prior years I didn't earn enough). I had brought a joint sponsor packet but they didn't even look at it. They just glanced at my I-864 and took that, handed back my joint sponsor packet. It's best to be prepared with the full joint sponsor I-864, but if you get all your own info and taxes lined up, you may walk out of the interview without having needed the other I-864. I don't like committing other people if I don't have to, so getting to use my own income was great.
