Assets only for I-864

[Michael and Ganna 104]

Hello,

I was hoping that I could get some help understanding I-864. I supplied NVC with support of my assets, and this is there reply.

_F - FINANCIAL EVIDENCE:______________________________________

We reviewed the Affidavit of Support documentation you sent to the National Visa Center

(NVC). According to the current poverty guidelines, it does not appear you or any of your

sponsors meet the minimum income requirement to sponsor the intending immigrant(s)

for this petition. To avoid delays, you may have an additional sponsor complete an

Affidavit of Support (Form I-864) and provide it to the intending immigrant to submit at

their interview. At that time, a consular officer will make a decision regarding this

requirement.

On my tax forms I show a negative income on line 22.....

I have a stock account has substantial liquid equity in the US.....

Todays balance:

Total Portfolio Todays value $1,035,512.48 Todays gain $2,983.53 todays percentage 0.289%

We have cd's that mature this year....July that amount to $550,000

We have approximately 70k in two US checking accounts

We own 2 homes in the US that the value exceeds 4.7M and are paid for

We own 2 boats that are paid for

Our cars are new and are paid for

We also have other brokerage accounts that are substantial and some that are smaller....

We owe on nothing and we also have foreign homes and accounts ( but did not use them, or send supporting evidence )

We sent all supporting evidence for the last three years ( account information, Property deeds with appraisals, Values of cars and boats).

I am an indépendant investor and have "no job" per say. Why are they asking for a CO-sponsor for I-864? We meet the criteria for asset approval. My wife is just going to bring "updated" statements to interview and try to explain why my income in negative on my tax schedules.

Can someone give us some information that might help during interview?

That is standard for NVC, they will always ask for a co-sponsor when you use assets. The CO should be fine with it, assuming the assets are well documented and comfortably over the x3 poverty line.

We used only assets too for our I-864. The letter is standard when using assets because approving them is at the discretion of the officer interviewing at the embassy. Make sure you have enough in-depth evidence of the assets going back about a year.

I'm not an expert here, but it sounds like you have more than 50 times the poverty line, so satisfying the 3x the poverty line for assets should be pretty easy.

Honestly the cash assets were more than enough, the rest is overkill.

[mallafri76 1,012]

Honestly, you are wayyyy overdoing it. If it's just you and your wife, bank statements going back a year along with a letter from the bank manager for the $70,000 checking accounts would have been enough. You have to remember that these are COs, not accountants. They're not gonna look through a book of financial data.
