Hello
My wife is a US citizen and lives in the US, and I live in the UK so we are applying through consulate process. We have recently filed the I-130 but I have a question about the I-864
From what I understand, I, as the spouse can use my assets but not income on the form, is this correct? And assets have to be easy to liquidate within a year?
My wife's income conservatively is around $20,000, $26,000, $20,000 for the last three tax years which would leave us slightly under the required amount
I have a property in the UK that I do not intend to sell yet valued at £280,000-£300,000 with no mortgage, I own it outright.
Would I be able to use this to make up the shortfall or do they prefer cash in the bank as proof? If I can use it to make up the shortfall, what would I need to prove the valuation of it? Would I need to include the deeds and show there is no mortgage? I really just want to make sure I put whatever the most watertight thing is.
If cash in savings is better - then how much would they need to see from me to make sure there are no issues?
Thank you!
