Hi everyone, I am a US citizen who has been residing in Canada for over five years. We just received our I-130 approval and intro letter from the NVC. I have a question regarding the Affidavit of Support requirements, and cannot seem to find any answers or experiences from others. 

 

I am employed by a Canadian company and will continue to be employed with them working remotely when we move to the US. I have been employed with them for year(s) and will have a letter confirming I will continue to be employed remotely and paid X salary while living in the US. I have filed taxes every year since I've lived in Canada.

 

Will my Canadian income be enough for the Affidavit of Support? I am worried that because the income does not come from the US, it will not be enough. 

 

If it isn't enough, does NVC send RFEs for joint sponsors, or immediately refuse the application? I can have a joint sponsor no problem, but it would be easiest to avoid it if we can.. 

 

Does anyone have personal experience with this, and if so, did it happen to be through Montreal? 

 

Thank you in advance!

I am not sure I have seen this with Canada but plenty of others have been OK with continuing income. You have evidence.
