Joint Sponsor as Living Abroad

[Maverick1990 2]

Hi,

 

Looking to submit the AOS this week for my IR-1 application. My wife, who is the petitioner, currently lives and works with me here in the UK, though has domicile in the US. We're using a joint sponsor who's income more than satisfies the financial requirement. I understand that my wife still has to fill out the I-864 as she is the main sponsor, though since she earns her income here in the UK, her income doesn't qualify (hence, why we have the joint sponsor in the states). What I'm really wondering then, is how she is to fill out Part 6 of the I-864 form? Does she include her current individual, annual income and convert to dollars? Or leave this blank? And does she need to include financial documents like tax returns, bank statements etc?

 

Thanks,

Keith

She’s in one of those situations where the form doesn’t fit. I would put current income as $0 or N/A because UK income has no relevance to what they are trying to determine. Zero will work better because it wants numerical answers.

 

She only has to submit the I-864 form and the most recent tax return (or transcript). Those are required of the petitioner (primary sponsor). No bank statements, employer letter, etc since she isn’t going to qualify and you have a joint sponsor.

So I did submit tax returns, bank statements, just like a normal I864.  Income, as noted, was imputed as zero
