I-864 supporting Documents

[CallaLilly 0]

I am putting together my husband's AOS and filling in out the I-864. Trying to add all eveidnece they may want but dont want to waste time and paper with over load of info.

If I list an amount in Part 7 line 3, stock, bonds, certificates and other assets not already included, I listed the amount from my 401k and stock options from work. Do I need to include statements of those accounts??

I did with the I-134 for his K-1 visa but it said to and this form doesn't say to.

thank you!!

Do you meet the 125% poverty guideline on income alone? If you do, then I would just put that on the I-864.

I personally would avoid adding assets like 401K, investments, and etc. unless you have to (in which case you should include statements/document as proof of such assets).

Your 401k is not a liquid asset and stock options may or may not be depending if they are vested or not.

If you do have a 401k and stock options though you must easily exceed the 125% of the poverty level so just leave it at your taxable income via your tax transcript for last year.

Check here for the poverty guidelines: http://www.uscis.gov/sites/default/files/files/form/i-864p.pdf

If your gross income is well and above the 125% of your household size, you don't need to fill-out Part 7 of I-864. Gross income is line 22 of your 1040.

You are going to need a co-sponsor. Qualifying on assets is shaking at best at Lagos and rarely if ever accepted unless you a rich person and can show that money is flowing constantly in.

And you know its 3 times the amount of what you need for your household size? (just asking). But I would line up a co-sponsor. NVC will accept but Embassy highly doubt it.

I think the OP is just trying to list too much information, if she has a job that has a 401k and gives her stock options then I am pretty sure her income would be well above the required 125% of the poverty line.

LOL, no problem. So many posts and info that your eyes can get buggy. I am above the 125%, I have enough I can also sponsor his daughter just on my wages. My stocks are fully vested and my 401K is vested at about $7,000 with a total account balance of about $12,000. (I started late in life).

So opinion is I dont need to even list it? just send my last 3 tax returns? or just the last year like the form says?

No need to list the assets at all as you meet the requirements with your income.

No to the assets, as mentioned above. But you can still include your 2011 and 2012 1040 + W2 (or IRS transcripts, which you can get online), and don't forget to tick the box below that item when you do so. Some people (including me) submit these to provide a harder evidence of continuous good income of my spouse.

If your income is enough on its own, skip the assets. Provide a copy of your most recent transcript and then also a letter from employer and/or most recent pay stub(s) to prove your current income.

Thank you every one, I went back and saw where it said right on the form to skip if the income was enough, lol. Just reasing too fst I guess. Amyways Sealled it all up and mailed it off yesterday.
