I-864 Form filling question.

[Duffbeer 0]

Hi,

I had some really good news on the weekend, we received the Packet with the DS-230 etc. I have filled it all in but now we are having trouble with the I-864 form.

The problem is:

1) My wife is a student and has been living in England for over 2 years, when she was in the states she was also a student.

Does she still fill in one of these forms? or do we just write a letter explaining why my wife has not worked.

2) She has worked part time in England but has not earned a great deal.

Her dad is going to be the joint sponsor and i already have his form.

Do you think we can send the DS-230 with the form stating we are ready to have the interview now, we have everything other than my wifes I-864 form.

Also, I have checked my passport and I have been to the states over 10 times to visit my wife...I have no proof other than the stamps in my passport...will the embassy except this?

Thanks again for all your help.

Andy

The petitioner (the US citizen who files the application) is required to fill in an I-864 even if their income is not sufficient to be a sponsor. So...the answer to question #1 is YES. It does not matter that your wife has not earned much, or that she's a student. She's petitioning for you, hence she has to fill in an I-864 too.
