I am preparing for my interview coming up soon, and I was not asked to submit a DS-5540 before.
However, today, I found it on the NVC website stating that it needs to be filled out, and multiple people saying it's best to fill it out before the interview in case they ask for it. I had no idea this was a thing that needed to be filled out, and wouldn't have found out until the interview had I not been triple checking everything.
I have a couple questions:
Can I list my bank account (spouse of the intending immigrant) under her assets? We are married, so these should be considered shared, right? It's not a joint bank account, as this country does not offer joint bank accounts. My wife is a homemaker and I earn all the income (we both live abroad).
Do we need proof for our statements? It never asks for proof, and in the instruction form for the DS-5440, it never refers to any documentation needing to substantiate what is written in the form. For instance, my wife graduated from high school and college. We can only really find her college degree. Do we even need to provide it?
Is there a general asset 'amount' needed? We have a very strong joint sponsor that makes over 200K USD per year, I wouldn't think this would be an issue. And I also bought very good US health insurance for my wife at the beginning of 2020.
Thank you for your help!
