We are wondering if we need a joint sponsor, my husband and I live in chile he quit his 11 years job in 2017 to travel, we met in Chile and got married here, he has some assets in the USA and stocks but no actual salary income annually but he has a job contract for when we get back , is there some way to explain that or we will need a sponsor? we will appreciate your opinions, thanks.

If his assets are sufficient (at least 3x the minimum income level), then he can submit an I-864 using assets alone.

A job contract is not current income.

 

If his assets are not sufficient, he can either get a joint sponsor or he can return to the US first to actually start earning income and then use that.

Previous post was correct.  There is a section on the affidavit of support to declare assets and if they exceed 3x the income requirement they will suffice without a co-sponsor.

No credit for a contract unfortunately.  

As stated, if he returns and starts working before the interview he can add that income to his assets.  Good luck!

Do Social Security earnings count as an asset? I have SS earnings from 2002-2017.  Or do I need to be retired to count those?

Earnings are earnings (taxable or nontaxable)..  not assets

YMMV

Correct, but only if he is receiving Social Security income CURRENTLY does in help in any way for him to qualify as sponsor.  It's really best if the US Citizen is the one having the affidavit of support discussion.

Facts are cheap...knowing how to use them is precious...
Understanding the big picture is priceless. Anonymous
