Agree with Boiler!

Does petitioner, your sister, does not have enough income to support you? if not, she can use her husband’s income to support you. Your sister will fill i864 and her husband will fill i864A, and combine income. After combining if they both still don’t make enough income according to poverty guidelines, they will need a joint sponsor. Your mother can be a joint sponsor if her income is enough to support you. Joint sponsor will fill i864. I hope it helps!

As i shared the link earlier, here is the information from state department “Can the immigrant visa applicant count assets that he or she owns that are outside the United States, such as real estate or personal property? Yes, under the following conditions: The assets must be convertible to cash within 12 months. The applicant must show that the assets can be removed from the country where they are located. Many countries have limits on cash or liquid assets that can removed from the country. The net value of assets must be at least five times the difference between the sponsor's income and 125 percent of the poverty guideline for the household size. The visa applicant needs to file a Form I-864A to have his or her assets included in the minimum income level calculations.” Also….. from instruction of i864 Part 7. Use of Assets to Supplement Income (Optional) Only complete Part 7. if you need to use the value of assets to meet the income requirements. If your Current Annua Household Income (indicated in Part 6., Item Number 15. is equal to or more than needed to meet the income requirement as shown by the current Federal Poverty Guidelines (Form I-864P) for your household size (indicated in Part 5., Item Number 8.), you do not need to complete Part 7. If your total household income does not meet the requirement, you may submit evidence of the value of your assets, the sponsored immigrant's assets, and/or assets of a household member that can be used, if necessary, for the support of the intending immigrants. The value of assets of all of these persons may be combined in order to meet the necessary requirement. Only assets that can be converted into cash within one year and without considerable hardship or financial loss to the owner may be included. The owner of the asset must include a description of the asset, proof of ownership, and the basis for the owner's claim of its net cash value. You may include the net value of your home as an asset. The net value of the home is the appraised value of the home, minus the sum of any and all loans secured by a mortgage, trust deed, or other lien on the home. If you wish to include the net value of your home, then you must include documentation demonstrating that you own it, a recent appraisal by a licensed appraiser, and evidence of the amount of any and all loans secured by a mortgage, trust deed, or other lien on the home. You may not include the net value of an automobile unless you show that you have more than one automobile, and at least one automobile is not included as an asset. Item Numbers 1. - 4. Assets. To use your own assets, you must complete Part 7., Item Numbers 1. - 4. and submit coresponding eviden with this afide it. Supporting evidence must beatached to establish location, ownership, date of Item Numbers 5.a. - 5.b. Household Member's Assets. To use the assets of a relative (spouse, adult son or daughter, parent, or sibling), the relative must reside with you and have completed Form I-864A with accompanying evidence of assets. Form I-864A and accompanying evidence of assets is submitted with Form I-864. You may use the assets of more than one relative who resides with you so long as you submit a complete Form I-864A with evidence of assets for each such relative. 501-8041rucOn2022 Page 9 of 17 Item Numbers 6. - 9. Assets of the Intending Immigrant. You may use the assets of the intending immigrant regardless of where he or she resides. The intending immigrant must provide evidence of such assets with this affidavit. Add together Item Numbers 6. - 8. and type or print the total number in Item Number 9. Form I-864A is not required to document the intending immigrant's assets. Item Number 10. Total Value of Assets. In order to qualify based on the value of your assets, the total value of your assets must equal at least five times the difference between your total household income and the current Federal Poverty Guidelines for your household size. However, if you are a U.S. citizen and you are sponsoring your spouse or child age 18 years of age or older, the total value of your assets must only be equal to at least three times the difference. If the intending immigrant is a foreign national orphan who will be adopted in the United States after he or she acquires legal permanent residence, and who will, as a result, acquire citizenship under section 320 of the INA, the total value of your assets need only equal the difference. Example of How to Use Assets: If you are petitioning for a parent and the poverty line for your household size is $22,062 and your current income is $18,062, the difference between your current income and the poverty line is $4,000. In order for assets to help you qualify, the combination of your assets, plus the assets of any household member who is signing Form I-864A, plus any available assets of the sponsored immigrant, would have to equal five times this difference (5 x $4,000). In this case, you would meet the income requirements if the net value of the assets equaled at least $20,000.

Us citizen petitioning is the petitioner

Principal applicant is the intending immigrant who is suppose to come, above post shows they applied for parents greencard. Means they r principal applicant n can use their assets on i864

Affidavit from family members who can verify their birth.

My mom had the same situation once we were going through the same process. I remember my dad registering her birth in the local office and also stamp paper like a legal paper attested. We also had some relatives write statements about her birth and notarized it.

Did they ask you to update or upload?

According to my knowledge i864 doesn’t expire and you don’t need another one. Correct me if i am wrong.

Agree with milimelo!

Yes, principal applicant can use their assets. Why you didn’t write them when u filled i864?

Sorry, i meant to write documents in the title but misspelled it. @appleblossom

Hello everyone, We have a joint sponsor filing i-864 and i was wondering what documents do we need from joint sponsor to upload online? if they have tax documents from last year and last name on them was different from last name now, what do we do? Naturalization certificate has new name and joint sponsor provided us copy of naturalization certificate to prove name change. What documents do we need to send to avoid confusion and make everything clear?

I recently asked this same question to an expert and According to him, you the petitioner file i-864 and joint sponsor also fill i-864 not i864A because you file taxes separately.

My dad also applied for my sibling over the age of 21 and married have kids. Dad only applied for his own children like my brother and sister. We added derivative applicants, their spouses and kids where case was at NvC. So yes, only 1 petition. Technically you can’t file for grandchildren and daughter in law anyway.

Will do that! Thank you so much!

Someone else in the other post shared their n400 has been rejected due to either incorrect fee or applying before 90 days. we are about to mail our application with fee reduction and now are hesitant.what should we do?

Thank you! Thank you

Hello everyone, if we are applying for fee reduction, for n-400 form. What documents we need to attach with paper application we are sending? Would Only last year tax transcript would be good enough? Do the check we send along with application is $380?

What supporting documents you sent with n-400 if applying based on 5 year residence? Fyi: Paper application as applying for fee reduction

When u sent n-400 what supporting documents you sent with application? Any pics? Also, for fee reduction, what documents you sent to prove you r below poverty guidelines?

Sounds exactly right and my siblings who got married did exactly the same. When they had kids, they aded them as well.

In our case parents applied same category, priority date 2011, application approved 2014, nvc asked for doc sep 2024 and working on affidavit. Hope that helps!
