affadavit filed by petitioner despite $0 annual income

[mmjjoy 0]

i am the intending immigrant and my wife must fill out that I-864 as the petitioner.

She never had a tax return though, making maybe $300 in the year of 2007!

Does she HAVE to be filling out that I-864?

Thank you very much!

Yes, she needs to...(I'm in a similar situation). Since she doesn't have any income you will need a joint sponsor.. btw, she has to submit proof that she was not required to file taxes (don't know what is acceptable proof)

probably an affadavit sworn before a notary stating that she did not meet the income requirements for filing, including her SSN and a report of income from the years in question would suffice. did this person receive earned income credit? if so, that should also be noted in the affadavit.

I'd like to live where you guys do.

Me too.

Now, if she has liquid assets that meet the requirements, she may not need a sponsor. If she does not, this sort of scares me.

Liquid? How much would be sufficient?

$5 of assets replaces $1 in income is the rule of thumb

also, I assume that she's now currently employed and earning more. You can include a letter of employment verifying the annual salary/pay rate and maybe the last 6 months pay stubs.
