I-864

[Jasmin 1]

Hi guys,

we're about to fill out the I-864 and have some last questions:

1. On question 6./22.: currently employed:

My husband is employed by the university during the semester. But since it's summer break right now, he has another job which in the end he'll have had for like 4 weeks (two more weeks starting today). Should we even list this job? Do we have to? The information won't be valid much longer. My husband is not going to meet the 125% requirement anyway either way. So what should we do?

2. I don't understand 24. e.

In the example form, it's the immigrant's name. So I guess my husband will put my name (since I am the immigrand counted in the household of 2)?

27. assets of household member

since I am the only other household member, we'll write N/A, right?

28. immigrant's assets

I don't understand the "times three" rule. Say if my assets in checking and savings account were $4000, I'd write that, right? Where do I multiply by 3?

We will have to use a joint sponsor, my husband's dad. Will we have to indicate anywhere on the main sponsor's form that we are using a joint sponsor?

I would totally appreciate it if you could answer all of my questions Thank you!

Jasmin,

1. Good question.

2. Do you have any income that will be used? If not, there is no reason to enter your name in item 6.24.e because you are not a person "listed above".

3. Enter the actual amount of your assets, the case officer will do the math. (And they will divide by 3, not multiply.)

No.

Okay, I get some of that.

But in 24e.... What's "listed above" anyway?? Listed where? In 24b? We are not listing me because I don't have any income we are listing. We are only listing my assets in 28.

Anybody else wants to comment?

Yes, it's from 24B. If you were using your income, you would list yourself there and then write your name in 24E. As you are NOT using your income, you should leave everything under 24A blank (unless you're using someone else in the household). I hope that's clearer.

[Jasmin 1]

Yes, it's clearer indeed. Thank you!

Anybody any clues on question 1?

[curiousn 0]

Personally I would think not but that's not an expert opinion, of course.

I think it doesn't really matter. That said, if you are unsure, why not enter both, it won't hurt at all and it then truly reflects his current employment status.

I would list any current employment even if he still doesn't meet the poverty requirement. You do not have to enter the information, but I think any form of income would be a help. That's what I would do anyway.

Sounds reasonable. Thanks, guys.
