I-864 Line 23

[koolaidman23 0]

My Dad is filling out the I-864 to co-sponsor my wife. Question 23 of the I-864 asks for his "current individual annual income." The thing is, my Dad rents acreage to a farmer who lives near him, and my Dad included this as part of his Total Income on line 22 of his 1040. This adds a few thousand to his annual income, but for the purposes of reaching 125% of the poverty level, his work salary more than suffices. Now here is the dilemma. What amount should he put on line 23 of the I-864?? He has his W-2 which shows his salary, but doesnt have any paperwork to prove that he rents out his land (that he can get to me on time). Should he write only his salary info in this field?

Any help is appreciated.

I only told them what they needed to know, I didn't give them my total income. I have several different sources. I gave them one source of income that placed me above the required amount and I had the documentation to prove it. I didn't have any problems, it was approved. I have other sources of income that I feel is none of their business. They are only looking for proof that the person you are bring to the States won't end up on the dole and become a drain to tax-payers
