I-864 Support

[pak 0]

Hello again!

Questions about I-864...

1. Question 1 - "a" I am petitioner, right? Just double checking...

2. Our assets here few thousand dollars smaller than our assets in my wife's homecountry (because we have easier access to them here... sigh) - would that look strange? Should we even list our assets in my wife's home country?

3. Form had Employment Eligibility Verification papers attached... why? Do we need to fill them out as well?

Thank you, thank you!

US Citizen is filling this out. If US Citizen's income exceeds 125% when counting self, immigrant and any dependents, then no assets are needed to be listed.

USCIS even provides a version of I-864 for simple cases called I-864EZ (Good Income (No Assets), No joint sponsor, single immigrant).

We used the I-864EZ.

1 A is US citizen doing the sponsoring.

2 Assets must be in the USA

3 US Citizen should be employed.

Thank you for the suggestion, but I am a little bit confused. I-864EZ says it is only for filing I-130 petition.

As far as my original questions - we are not relying on assets outside of US, but my wife believes that "the more - the better". So she wants to list it. We do plan to provide tax returns for the past years because in 2006 I was below 125% poverty due to being in wife's home country for the whole year. 2005 and 2004 way above poverty; 2007 is too - but unfortunately it can't be used yet...

I-864EZ is for Green-Card (I-485) or can be used for NVC in CR-1/IR-1 cases in place of I-864.

"2007" can be used by providing copies of pay stubs, and a letter from employer stating job description, salary amount, if job is FT or PT, permanent or temporary.

Ok.

Yep, definitely we'll be putting my latest stubs and letter from the employer. Thanks!

And one more please...

Do we need to notarize the form? I didn't see it in instructions, but many people mention it here...

Yea, but I have employer letter for that. Why "Employment Eligibility Verification" is there?

Thanks!
