I-864 list assets if have joint sponsor?

[alejandro60610 3]

We are filling out the I-864. The primary sponsor does not meet the income requirements. We have plenty of assets, but understand that USCIS will almost certainly request/require a joint sponsor. So, we have joint sponsor.

 

Since we have a joint sponsor, do we still need to list our assets on I-864? Is there any benefit to doing so?

 

I don't mind listing them, but then we'd have to supply another mountain of paperwork for supporting evidence of said assets.

 

Thanks in advance.

You are going to need to prove that the petitioner is able to financially support the beneficiary, and the better you look financially the more likely you are to get approved. Being able to show that you have these assets, and then also having a joint sponsor, looks so much better than completely relying on a joint sponsor. I would definitely put in the effort to put the paperwork together to include your assets.

Makes sense. That's what we'll do. Thank you.

Nice! But i've read far too many accounts of USCIS demanding a joint sponsor, so we got one. It sucks that you can't rely on them to be consistent and follow their own rules.
