Mother-in-law Affidavit of Support

[bunsk2007 0]

A quick question about my mother-in-law's affidavit of support for me-

Who does the notorisation? It is the value of her house that is being used as her assets I guess, can that be done by an American estate agent who has just valued the house for her? Or does it need to be a lawyer as well?

Does her paperwork then get sent in with mine, or seperately?

My husband is out there at the minute visiting, but when I send Packet 3 back in January, he won't have started a job in the States yet; he'll still be living/ working here with me. Will it be sufficient for him to produce a written job offer, with salary listed? Or will he need to show a job contract?

On this basis, is this sufficient for my husband to be joint affidavit of support with his mother? I'm assuming they would they fill in seperate forms?

Thanks everyone

You're DCF, right? You'll be doing the I-864 which does NOT need to be notarised so not an issue for you. I also assume your husband is not living with his mother, so they must both complete separate I-864s; your husband is the main sponsor, and his mother is the joint sponsor. For DCF you bring the I-864s with you to the interview -- do NOT send them to the Embassy!

Don't worry too much about the job offer/contract issue, as London is fairly relaxed about the whole domicile issue. I had no job offer, contract, tenancy, etc (although I did have a US bank account and a letter from my UK boss saying I had resigned contingent on my husband getting the CR1) and this was not an issue. A written job offer is, however, great proof and you should definitely bring it along if you have it.

I know how you feel. Once you make your mind up to make the move, it's like, I want to be there NOW! I don't know about you, but it took us a while to make up our minds to move back. The extra months of waiting were awful, but at least we got to be with each other during the process.

It'll be over soon -- home stretch now!
