Affidavit of support questions

[Codrin 5]

Hi everyone ! I created another topic regarding the affidavit of support about a month ago, however I still have some questions about it.

I am a US citizen, and filled a I-130 for my wife on October 18,2013. I am currently waiting for my NOA2, but I'd like to prepare in advance for the next steps.

My story goes like this: I am both US and Romanian citizen. I was born in Romania and naturalized in the US after living there for 6 years with a green card (lottery visa). One year after getting my US Citizenship I met my Romanian wife on the internet, so I came back to Romania to meet her. After two years we married, and now we are two years married and four years together. Since then I've been living in Romania, finishing my studies and getting different certifications for a future IT job. While residing in Romania, my parents supported me financially. While in the US, I had two jobs, one for two months as a pizza cook, and one as a web developer for six months. However I earned around 2000 $ as cook and around 9500 as web developer.

So my questions are:

1. How will I complete the I-864 if I am unemployed and if I have 0 income. I didn't file any tax returns as my income didn't require it.

2. Do my assets count? I have 300k $ worth of assets, as wedding presents from my family.

3. Do I need a co-sponsor? My mother and my uncle are currently in the US, both US-citizens.

4. I am only 23. Do I need to write a cover letter stating that I was unemployed due to the fact that I needed to finish my studies and get certificated ?

5. Do you have any estimate on when I should get my NOA2? It's been almost 8 weeks now.

6. Anyone else in my situation?

I appreciate any advice you can give me. Thanks a lot !

1. You need to support your nwife on assets, or move back to the USA before her and get a job, or find a US based co-sponsor

2. Yes, though most embassies only take US based assets.

3. That would probably be easiest

4. No, this will be shown in your biographical forms

5. The process takes about a year from filing to interview, so you have a long time to wait.
