I-864 current income vs net savings/assets [merged threads]

Hi all,

Before I ask let me just say - I have read the i-864 instructions! But I can't find anything specifically addressing this.

So I'm sponsoring my spouse and currently employed full time in New Zealand. After my husband is granted his visa we both plan on resigning, therefore planning on using assets to supplement income. That being said, we will still be employed in NZ by the time of the interview as we don't want to resign & lose our income until we have his visa approved and know we can move over together. Sooo, do I still state my current income on the i-864 (obviously in USD equivalent) for my overseas employment? Should I include some kind of letter explaining this or just wait to explain at the interview?

 

Cheers

Hi,

 

Your NZ income does not count for the I-864 since it would end upon your return to the US.  You can only income income and assets that you would have when returning to the US.  

You will probably need a qualified Joint Sponsor who can submit a second I-864.

@aaron2020 I'm aware which is why I said we are planning on using assets to supplement income - I'm just wondering if I still fill out Part 6, the employment and income section. I won't be unemployed at the time of the interview so I don't want to put that. So do I just leave that section blank and only fill out the Part 7 or do I still fill out Part 6 with my current income.

 

Planning on bringing a second i-864 from a joint sponsor to the interview as a back up plan but pretty confident our assets should suffice. 

 

Cheers

But...have you read the actual question on the form regarding current income.  It has the words "you are using to qualify....".  Since you can't use your NZ income to qualify, you enter $0.  One knows this by reading BOTH the instructions and the actual question.  Read carefully, interpret literally, then answer accurately.

 

You seem to be either not readying carefully, or you are interpreting "conveniently" instead of "literally".

It doesn't matter if you haven't quit your job before or after the interview because the NZ income does not count for the I-864.  You list your income as $0.  You absolutely can not count your current income for the I-864 since it will end upon your return to reside in the US.
