Affidavit of support for parents AOS

[Slicoo 3]

Hello, my parents came to the USA on tourist visa3-4 months ago. They have decided to stay in the USA now. I just filed their i130 online and now working on paperwork for the Adjusment of status. But I have a question for the affidavit of support. I’m a house wife and do not work. Me and my husband file joint tax returns. All of his income is from self employment meaning no paychecks. How do I file affidavit of support? Do fill out one for me with 0 income and my husband as joint sponsor? Or do I file mine with our total income because we file joint returns?

Was the plan to immigrate all along? What did they tell cbp at Port of entry? It's fraud to adjust status if that was the intention from the beginning. They would have to go back and be petitioned and go through the embassy

You file the I864 with him as a household member. He completes the I 864a. Your income will  be your share of the joint income .. as you stated $0. His will be his income ..follow the instructions for how to determine income for self employed and what documents to file. Self employed is not as easy as payroll but not uncommon. Is there someone who would be willing to be joint sponsor ? Remember,  each parent needs their own I 130 and all AOS forms including affidavit of support

How old are they? Did they decide to stay or someone convinced them? I doubt they decided to stay on their own because they wouldn't know about that path. Someone did tell them something. 

 

Are you a USC? 

 

By the time you file and even get a receipt, elections will be over hence looking at the normal 1.5+ years processing times. And depending on age, Healthcare may be a problem. As well as adjusting or sitting doing nothing for 1.5+ years.

Nothing to do with question, but Plan was visitation. Changed mind after with my newborn.
