Spouse is retired, what documents can be given for Affidavit of support?

[wangsit 2]

Hi Visa Journey.

 

PD 11 January 2019

Transfer Nebraska 10 December 2019

Approved 20 March 2020

F2A, spouse is LPR

 

Since our I-130 is finally approved,

We are preparing for Affidavit of Support (AOS), and have questions in it.

 

I (benefactor) was confused about AOS,

my spouse (Petitioner) told me that he has consulted with lawyer and he does not need to show his tax transcript for 3 year as he is retired.

 

However, since Petitioner has lot of asset in USA, that he can show them to NVC. and the lawyer thinks that his asset is enough for AOS.

His assets are some cash in bank, house, car and some stock bond. (I dont know if he got money from retirement)
 

We are not hurry to do this because COVID19.

However, what should we prepare for AOS that rely on petitioner's asset?

Greetings!

I think if you read I-864 instructions and even the I-864 form as well It will guide you of what is needed in your case. Best of Luck, NG

Well even if he's retired he'll want to do a tax return to get COVID $$ - so he may want to opt to do that and also use the tax return for I-864.

He will have to submit tax documents for the most recent year (if he filed) or he will have to explain why he wasn't required to file taxes.  If he filed, he WILL have to submit most recent year.
