I-864 Part 6 Question

[Chanel H. 41]

Hello, I am working on filling out the I-864. I am the USC petitioning for my husband, we are both overseas. I am planning to use assets not income to qualify, and I have (hopefully) sufficient documents to prove "intent to re-establish domicile". My question is, since my income is foreign and can't be used for the I-864, which box do I tick in Part 6, if any? There are boxes next to items 1, 4, 5, and 6.

 

I am thinking I should tick none of the boxes (I am employed, so I shouldn't tick "unemployed" even though my income will not be counted for the I-864) and then write a 0 for item 7. Or should I tick the box for item #1 and also write a 0 for item 7?

 

The options are:

1. Employed as a/an....

2. Name of Employer 1

3. Name of Employer 2 (if applicable)

4. Self employed as a/an (Occupation)

5. Retired since (mm/dd/yyyy)

6. Unemployed Since (mm/dd/yyyy)

7. My current individual income is:

 

Thank you very much for your help!

You are employed and have an occupation and employer, but you will enter ZERO as your income.  I understand this is counterintuitive, but read carefully the question about current income and you will see the additional words "that you are using to qualify...."  Each question gets it's own truthful answer.

Thank you so much. It's really obvious to me now when you put it that way.
