I-864 Affidavit of Support question for I-130

[buffyisveryfuzzy 3]

I'm just curious if the Spousal Visa involves the I-864 or not. If it does, I work as an IT contractor. I do pretty good but my jobs are sometimes 3 months, and sometimes 3 years. I usually intentionally take a month off in between jobs. If USCIS asks for the I-864 during one of my off periods, will that be an issue?

Yes, a spousal visa will require you to submit an I864 at the NVC stage.  I assume you have 1099's from your contracting work, if you make enough and have the recent tax returns to show it, you should be fine.

 

Good Luck!

Probably not.  You are considered self employed, so even if you are between revenue streams, you're STILL self employed.  Your "current income" will be stated using the line of your 1040 labeled "total income".  Essentially, that's total revenue minus business expenses you deduct.
