Questions about the Interview

[AussieYo 0]

Hi all!

Thanks so much for all the wisdom and insights shared. Some of my questions have been asked before but the posts were old so I thought I'd check again to get the most recent information. Here they are:
 

• My husband (petitioner) has started receiving EDD unemployment insurance due to COVID- what should we enter for “My Current Individual Annual Income”?

 

• How to calculate current income in this situation? I read that when self employed you use the income from the last tax return?

 

• Can we combine my income as a contribution to household income?

 

• I was told that because we have a joint sponsor my husband’s i864 is not overly important. Is this true?

 

• Will this contribute negatively on the basis of concerns around becoming a public charge?

 

• Is USCIS understanding regarding COVID’s impact on employment?

 

• The joint sponsor is my Mother In-Law and she is now retired. What are the best documents for her to provide?

 

• Can we just bring a copy of her passport as she lives a 9 hour drive away?

 

• Our interview is February 9th and I’m concerned we may not have sufficient evidence for co-mingling of finances. We don’t have a joint account because I’ve only been working a few months and not earning much plus that’s not how we manage our finances. Is this essential? I’m guessing it’s too late now for that.

 

• The official co-mingling documents we have are three joint leases, shared auto-insurance, AAA, joint filing tax transcript, we could get joint utilities (or try if possible) and we bought a TV together. Is this sufficient?

 

• Do we need to bring all original forms, photos, messages with us or just new ones?
  
  Thank you!

I'm confused by your language "what should be enter". It sounds like you are filling out a form. What form are you filling out that asks you this information? I wasn't aware that there are any forms to be filled out for the interview.
