i-864 affidavit of support using immigrant's income

[Eggs 0]

Hi,

I am about to file for my Adjustment of Status. My wife doesn't make enough money to be above the 125% of the poverty line. However, in the instructions of the I-864 it states:

Income from the intending immigrant, if that income will continue from the same source after immigration, and if the intending immigrant is currently living in your residence. If the intending immigrant is your spouse, his or her income can be counted regardless of current residence, but it must continue from the same source after he or she becomes a lawful permanent resident.

Now I was self employed in the Netherlands and I have figured out that I can just keep my company there while living in the US. This means that I will be getting income through my Dutch company (same source) while I'm living here. We could also ask her father to be a co-sponsor, but I would like to do it without him if that is possible. My question is however, what kind of proof do they need from me?

I have signed letters of intent from three of my customers stating that they continue to want to do business with me. The total amount of these statements is for about $50.000. I could also show them a list of invoices that I have sent out and have been paid by these companies in 2009, showing that it is a long term relationship. Finally, I also have Dutch tax forms from 2009 and 2008 which show my annual income for those years.

Has anyone had experience with this? Would this be proof enough? Do I need to have the Dutch tax documents translated if I'm going to use them? The letters of intent are already in English.

And what if they don't consider this to be good for the affidavit of support? Will I get a chance to bring in my father in-law as a co-sponsor then?

Thanks for you help.
