Hi everyone,
I am currently looking into the process of applying for a visa to move over to America with my wife. We are currently living together in the UK but want to move to America together.
We have been looking through the process of what we need to do and I have a few questions about the i-864 Affidavit of Support.
From our understanding it seems as if they want my wife to be able to prove that she can support me if we move to the US together, but she is currently living and working part time here in the UK and has no US income. Is there some way of getting around this for a couple in our situation? As it stands I currently have a decent amount of savings and I am the only one with any significant income (it is UK based income but I work offshore 2 weeks on, 3 weeks off, and can live in the US while working in the UK if that's an option).
Are there other couple who have been in this position, where you are both living in the applicant's home country and intend on moving to the US together? We imagine it's a common thing but it is difficult to find any information on it.
Also, we do not have our own house in the USA, and until I get a visa I do not want to buy a property there yet, just in case I end up getting refused for some reason. It could potentially be an option to use my in-laws address as the place we intend to live, as long as they are alright with that, but obviously once we get the visa we would be trying to get our own place as soon as possible.
Overall I'm just looking for some advice on how to complete the i-864 Affidavit of Support from other couples who have moved from the applicant's country together, with no US based income or place to stay.
Thanks in advance,
Dode
