I-864 Foreign Income Question

[jj_154 0]

I put my UK income down converted to US dollars on my I-864 and it was accepted as perfectly fine at my husband's interview. I had also brough a back up version of the I-864 with 0's in those lines. The stupid thing is that it depends on the person reviewing your file it seems! So I would recommend filling it out with UK income converted to USD and bring a back up copy with 0's for income.

I think this statement is the correct answer to the question. It really depends on who is reviewing your file. Based on what I read in this forum, I did not include my foreign income on my I864 when I submitted it in Tokyo (last week), and the clerk asked me why I didn't. He said I should have. After that, my feeling was that each consulate and maybe even within the consulate each clerk might look at the form differently. I talked with two clerks during my I130 submission and on a couple of issues got different answers (all in less than an hour). I think whoever said they took two sets of forms, one with and one without the income, is a good example. However, if your assets are insufficient to cover in the case that the income is not accepted, I would try to get a joint sponsor lined up before you submit.
