I-134 Affidavit of Support - Assets question

[markjo 0]

Hi there,

Just a quick question regarding the use of assets in the affidavit of support. We are using my fiancee's father as a co-sponsor and just want to be up to speed with all the details on what s required before we get into too much detail with him. He has just retired, which pulls his income right back, but has some assets that will assist.

When assets are used to meet help meet the 125% poverty level requirement, what value of assets is required? I have read in some places that 5 times the gap between income and the 125% poverty level, and in other places I have read that it is 3 times the gap between income and the 125% poverty level.

Any help anyone can provide will be much appreciated.

Thanks!

Mark

when it's USC sponsoring wife ( Fiancee ), it's 3 times the difference, otherwise it's 5 times the difference.
