I-184, USC living abroad

[kiwicana 24]

Hey VJers!

 

Quick question - my (USC) husband lives with me in NZ, and has for the past year. He is employed here until his working visa runs out and has plenty of evidence to support domicile in the USA. My question is when filling out the I-184, should he complete with his income here (abroad) because that won't be relevant for supporting me once we move back. I am sure I read somewhere that he should put 0 but should he then also put unemplyed because he's unemployed in the USA, only emplyed in NZ. We have a joint sponsor anyway who has filled out all the forms, we're just confused filling out the I-184 for the petitioner.

 

TIA!

Your thinking that he should put in 0 is correct. The only way that you could count his current NZ income is if it would continue after moving to the US. For example: if he worked for a large company that had offices in both NZ and the US and he was simply transferring offices.

Perfect, that's what I thought. Does that mean he should also put his employment status as unemployed because he's not employed in the USA? Sorry for the questions I just don't want to mess anything up!

It's easier that way.  Otherwise you tend to run into them wanting income evidence when the job wont be continuing.  Your choice
