US Immigration from England

Hi. Hopefully this is the last time I need to make a thread about this.

I have a few questions about the i864 form and reading the instructions is not helping. For the background, we filed a joint tax return for 2020 so we do not know how this affects the answers.

I864 - PART 6 - Line 20 - My current HOUSEHOLD income is...

So, for the tax return we included both of our income for the 2020 tax year. Does this mean we need to combine income again for the current houshold income or do we continue to put the income of the people living in the household and NOT INCLUDE the spouse's (applicants) income?

I864 - PART 6 - Line 24a - My total income (adjusted gross income on Internal Revenue Service (IRS) Form 1040EZ) as reported on my Federal income tax returns for the most recent three years was:

Pretty much the same question as above, do we include the total gross income of both the USC and the NRA (Spouse/Applicant) for this section?

And finally, a question about a section a little earlier. For the sponsors household size, I have attached an image to show what we think is the right answers. The USC CURRENTLY lives alone and they are the sponsor to the spouse and nobody else. No kids or other household members. Does the screenshot look correct for our circumstances? I know it says add 1-7 together but it has autofilled in the PDF when entering. Does it stay as 1 or do we have to change it to 2? Thanks

Hi all! I am filing the I-129f for the K-1 soon and trying to budget/plan out life on the other side.
Can I volunteer while waiting for my work permit/green card? I don t want to be sat around for months waiting for work (I will go mad and it may look bad on my resume, I will need to be working).
I have googled it and read a few things but not got a solid answer.

thanks!!

Hi all. We are coming to the stage to submit the affidavit of support for a UK beneficiary under a I130 stand-alone visa. We are looking into the federal poverty guidelines and just needed a bit more clarity on the situation.

Where it says people/family in household.... for the applicant being a single person living by themselves, does it mean they must earn $21,775 BEFORE tax do be eligible to sponsor the beneficiary under the I130 application as the petitioner in our case lives alone. (Even though on the usvis.gov website it mentions 2 people in the household and does not mention 1)

For a joint sponsor with 1 adult, 2 children in their household, they must earn money $27,450 BEFORE tax to be eligible to be a joint sponsor. It cannot be combined with the earnings of the petitioner in another household? Would you completely leave out the tax return and only attach recent payslips (if so, over how many months would you attach these payslips)

Getting into a bit more details now. If the latest 2020 tax return showed they earned less but in fact this calendar year they would sufficiently earn enough, what would we attach to prove this?

If we have a joint sponsor, do we still have to submit an affidavit of support from the petitioner if they earn below the threshold? And does the joint sponsor also need to attach a tax return and/or recent payslips, if so, how many payslips would suffice.

All information is taken from this website https://www.uscis.gov/i-864p but we have also noticed the information from the HHS website is a lot different https://aspe.hhs.gov/2021-poverty-guidelines

Hi all. We are expecting our application to be received by the NVC this week and we just wanted to know what documents are needed for this process.

The beneficiary is from the UK and we are expecting to be in the US in the next few weeks and we wanted to know what documents we should bring with us in preparation for the NVC stage.

Does anyone have a full list of documents required for this stage and when they are due. We want to know if we should apply for the police document now as we will be away when it is received to the home address.

Hi there. We will be filing next month for the ROC and we have most of our documents together already from the last two years.

Tax Transcripts

Bank Statements

Lease Agreements

Electricity Bills

Phone Bills

Car Insurance

Renters Insurance

Health Insurance

Pictures of us and family

Are we required to also do the affidavits of support?

Has anyone recently filed ROC in the last year without them and been approved?

We have plenty of people who can do it but we are getting close to when I want to send it off and I'm wondering if its a requirement or not?

Thank you.
