I-485 assets/liabilities and I-864 relation

[hak 0]

I-485 asks for an estimate of total household assets and liabilities. I (US citizen) own a house so both the assets and liability section will be relatively high. I do not want to declare my house as an asset on the I-864 (which I'll send in with the I-485) because I can qualify based on my income and don't want to spend hundreds of dollars to get my house appraised if I don't have to. Even though I don't want to include it on my I-864, I will still need to include an estimate of my assets and liabilities for questions 58-59 for the I-485. Since we must include all assets and liabilities on the I-485 but I don't want to include it on the I-864, will I still need an appraisal? Will I get RFE'd for not proving any proof of my assets or liabilities that went into calculating the totals for the I-485 if I don't include those assets in my I-864?

I don't believe it does. You mean I-864 asks for this information?

If your house is the primary residence, you cannot use it as an asset for I-864

I-485 is for immigrant to complete, I-864 for US citizen sponsor.

No, you don't have to and can't list primary house in I-864 assets. Use your income.

The newest I-485 does

The asset and liability question on the I-485 has ranges and they don't need proof correlated to the I-864 because as long as your income is sufficient to be more than 125% of the poverty guidelines, you do not need to include assets on the I-864. It is an optional section. Just check the appropriate boxes. The I-864 is where you prove your income is enough to sponsor. No need to appraise your house because as others stated above, you can't use it on the I-864 anyway.
