Affidavit of Support

[Heba Matar 0]

I am a U.S. citizen petitioning the I-130  for my husband and got approved just recently. I now have a Case number from the NVC. Furthermore, my problem is that I am temporary living abroad in Saudi Arabia with my husband and I am 20 years old but, I can't show any income for the Affidavit of Support because I have no job and neither did I while living in the states in high school. My husband is only employed with a salary. How can we prove that we will be financially stable in the states for the Affidavit of Support? 

- He has house property that we can show as an asset 

- Money in US bank account ( How much is needed?)

Any Help with be greatly appreciated!!

Can I also show my assets to help show that I will be financially stable while I live in the states?

Will I need 1 joint sponsor or 2 if my household includes 1 infant and 2 adults? 

Also, will it help if my husband shows his income from his job in Saudi Arabia?

If you do a search for "assets" and "I-134" it brings up many articles on VJ. Generally it seems that you need about 3 times as much value in assets as you do in income to count the assets only. If your husband (or someone else) had a substantial amount of money that was suddenly deposited into your account I think that it would look suspicious. 

 

It seems odd, I know, that even if your overseas spouse made a million $$ a year you would still need a joint sponsor for them, but that's the way things just are unfortunately.

Yes that makes sense. What if my husband has house property under his name and shows how much its worth , and its over 3 times its value?

Would that help us with also having a joint sponsor?
