i864 - calculations of using assets to meet requirement

[Baba+7917 0]

My husband (USC) and I (immigrant) are preparing docs for marriage green card aos. My husband earns around $10000 in 2020. According to poverty guideline 125%, his annual income needs to be $21550 to meet i864 requirements. So we are planning to use assets to be qualified. I know that to use assets, the amount has to be three times the difference between the 125%of poverty guideline for two people and the sponsor's annual income if he's only sponsoring me (his spouse).

So based on this, below is my calculation:

We will need ($21550 - $10000)*3, which is $34650 worth of assets if we want to use assets to meet the i864 requirement.

Please let me know if my calculations and understanding are correct on this.

Thank you!

That appears correct to meet the minimum requirement, but keep in mind that number is just a guidance for USCIS and consulates.  I would suggest your husband look into finding a co-sponsor to assist.

 

Good Luck!

We would if we can but we can't find anyone to be the co sponsor. We do have my income to use as well but in case that doesn't work, I am thinking to include the assets just in case
