My husband (USC) filled for my son, and finally the process is completed and sent to Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
I just received a letter from NVC informing that, and the following warning:

"All beneficiaries that have a sponsor filing the form I-864 Affidavit of Support on their behalf, are advised to bring the most current three years of tax documents and supporting financial proof that is current at the date of the visa interview. "

Our concern is: my husband was laid off 2 months ago, and he is under unemployment compensation, which is not the same money as he used to make. We've just opened a business, but still have no income. What should we take to the interview? We have three years tax documents, but what for support financial proof? Is the unemployment sufficient? He is making 494.00 every two weeks.

Does my husband have to go to the interview because he is the petionary? I was thinking of going with my son as he is only 12 y.old.

Thank you for your help,

Vera

What years of income returns were submitted to NVC? If the most current year wasnt submitted you will need to supply this by the looks of things. If your husband (the sponsor) does not meet the poverty guidelines for household size then you will need a joint sponsor. How many are in the household? Has he filed an I-864 for anyone else?

I few things,

The income level from unemployment is not enough, you may need to get another co-sponsor to get the income level up to 125%

Also did you say Son is 12? I am not sure but I think USCIS takes into consideration the legal marriage age of the state you live in.

We submitted 2003, 2004 and 2005 income tax. He filled the I-864 for me 3 years ago, and now for my son. We will be 3 in the household. Can we take a CPA estimate projection for our new business from our accountant? We used that for our new rental.


I didn't understant what you mean... The USCIS takes into consideration the legal marriage age of the state you live in... could you explain please?

OK now it is clear. Sometimes I read too fast. Your son in immigrating!

You will need to find a way to get the income up, perhaps your husband's parents can be co-sponsors.

Unfortunately my husband's parents live in Brazil, and we have no relatives here. What I'm thinking about is try to prove a self-employment income. We just opened a business, and we still have no income, but could be an estimate projection from an accountant?

If you have invested in the new business it might be considered as an asset? Your assets, like any savings account or your house can be considered I think. Anything you could convert into cash with in a year, I think counts as an asset you can use to prove that you can support the visa applicant. Look into that.
