Hm, that was just my impression from a while ago. So I just found the instruction of I-864 that "Expires 07/31/2017". here is some quote from Page 7:

 

2. If you included the income of the intending immigrant who is your spouse (he or she would be counted in Part 5., Item Number 1.), you must provide evidence that his/her income will continue from the current source after obtaining lawful permanent resident status, and the intending immigrant must provide evidence that he or she is living in your residence.

 

In addition, the immigrant's assets can also be used, and this is quoted form Page 9:

 

Item Numbers 6. - 9. Assets of the Intending Immigrant. You may use the assets of the intending immigrant regardless of where he or she resides. The intending immigrant must provide evidence of such assets with this affidavit. Add together Item Numbers 6. - 8. and enter the total number in Item Number 9. Form I-864A is not required to document the intending immigrant’s assets.

 

Hopefully I am not missing or misunderstanding something.

I have no idea what i just read........ but a small part of me is panicking.... btw i have ADHD its sooo hard for me to get all these acronyms... and forms.... income this... spouse that... assets... form h329d3iie3...then fill out form292973jso. what you just typed....

Welcome to VN, too. I had been staying in Ho Chi Minh city for 9.5 years and it happens to me every single day... I want to travel to Philiipines too, but I can't arrange my work schedule as well as my budget 

Whoooooooa!

A Washington State Federal judge in Seattle just agreed to a nationwide temporary halt to the immigration ban, holy #######!

"The order will remain in place until U.S. District Court Senior Judge James L. Robart considers a lawsuit challenging key provisions of the president’s order as illegal and unconstitutional. If the lawsuit prevails, President Trump's executive order would be permanently invalidated nationwide.

Robart was nominated to the court by President George W. Bush in 2003.

Robart ruled against government lawyers' claims that the states of Washington and Minnesota did not have the standing to challenge Trump's order and said they showed their case was likely to succeed.

"The state has met its burden in demonstrating immediate and irreparable injury," Robart said.

He said the ruling means Trump's executive order cannot be carried out and that people in the seven affected countries can now come to the United States.

"This decision shuts down the executive order immediately."

Let me try to clarify....

 

1) The first point refers to the income of the intending immigrant. Generally, for somebody filing AOS from a K-1 visa, beneficiary has no incoming income to qualifies (because they are not allowed to work in the US yet). Note this refers to income, not assets.

2) Yes, the assets may be used. Asset-based qualification is generally not used because it requires at least 3x the level of income required (125% of the federal poverty level). It can only include assets which can be liquid within 1 year (i.e. no retirement plans or long-term bonds at full value).

 

So yes, there are circumstances where the assets of the intending immigrant can be used. It's just generally not the case.

Wow, spot-on!

 

...psssst! Can you see what I'm typing too?

 

Edit: Scan is still running, but the majority of cases expected to be touched have been so by now. It was a slower day compared to the rest of the week, but still decent progress.

Cool. Thanks for clarifying!

They should be pretty accurate. The numbers are coming straight from USCIS. Unless they are doing some magic in their reporting.
