Affidavit of Support (Personal Property)

[hope.andsun 7]

Good day!

My fiance is in the process of filling up the Affidavit of Support and we are kind of clueless of how to answer item #7. See, he is a collector of stuff, and he has watches, guitars, stereos, and other vintage stuff. We are wondering if we need to have this appraised and get an appraiser? We thought that was expensive, but do we really need to do it? Please help us on this.

Thank you so much.

Most individual's ignore this section if they have sufficient annual income

Before answering your question, let me ask you this first. Does your fiancé earn the minimum requirement (for you and his household size) from his/her employment? (I'm assuming their job isn't collecting stuff but I could be wrong.)

The reason I ask is that if his/her income (from working) is sufficient - there is no need to list personal property; the same goes for bank-account info, stocks/bonds, real estate, etc.

Hi Otto,

He earns an average of more or less $30K per annum. Does this mean we can just leave these items blank?

yep, just leave the asset section blank.
