IR1 interview

[ShreebhagyaK9 321]

Hello guys,

My CC is March 7, 2019 and I am waiting for an interview date. So my husband will be buying a home in April. The closing is on April 14th and all his savings will go for the initial deposit. With barely any savings left, will we have issues at the interview? He does have a stable job and makes good income, but money's tight right now. I have read that it's advisable to carry an Affidavit of Support for the interview. Will it be an issue if he barely has any savings in the bank?

They look at the annual gross Income on the tax documents..dont send any bank statements..that will open up a bigger can of worms when it isn't even necessary..give what they only ask for

You are REQUIRED to take a current I-864, Affidavit of Support to the interview (per the pre-interview checklist).  If he is using his current income as financial support on the I-864, the amount of his savings is irrelevant.  The I-864 should be accurate as of the time it is submitted to the Consulate Officer.

With income sufficient, he should just leave all asset related questions blank, or just use the I-864EZ, if applicable.  It has no asset questions.

I understand that the assets part is optional. His gross income for 2017 was $92,683. 2016 was half of that amount and 2015 was almost the same as 2017. He does have some stocks and bonds. We already filed all that in the I-864 that we submitted to NVC. So the new copy that we take for the interview can we just leave those parts blank?
