Another I 864/I864A question

[USCHE 3]

Hi Guys!

We are STILL trying to fill out our I 864/I 864A paperwork. I tried calling the NVC for two weeks (every day at least 20 times a day) and have not been able to get through. The issues we are having are whether or not we still need a joint sponsor (my wonderful brother-in-law). We have been adding up our assets and they come to around US$100K. This INCLUDES both of our 401K's. While I understand this is not considered liquid/income, would the NVC consider us above the poverty line? Without the 401K's we are above the poverty line with our savings but not much.

My brother-in-law needs some time to gather the documents on his side, fill the forms out and then snail mail everything to us here in Argentina. It could take up to another two months whereas we would be ready to file, without his joint sponsorship, now.

We have been waiting since November 2013 just to get back to the US so (as I am sure everyone feels the same) any way we can speed this up, the better.

THANK YOU!!!

Try calling at 7am ( In US ) , i only need to wait around 20 mins to get through.

Yes you can add assets just make sure you have ownership proof and send one to them.

In your situation , you want to save as much time as possible , if you're sure that the total income ( sum everything up ) are more than the require amount in Poverty Guidelines then you may proceed ahead without join sponsor.

Thanks Philip! (I can only call between the hours of noon and four as that is when my 1.5 yr old is in school. Will try to ask my husband to call at the times you suggested instead.)

Do you think that the 401K will count as an asset though??? There are no descriptions of possible assets other than home ownership and bonds.

We would love to have the interview before our second baby is born mid January. Otherwise we will have to wait until she has her vaccinations so I can bring her with us to the interview.

Thanks again!
