I-864: To add or not to add my savings/checking/401k

[rhenzhen 5]

Question regarding I-864 form.

(OPTIONAL)

Under Part 7: If your income, or total income for you and your household, from line 24c exceeds the Federal Poverty Guidelines for your household size, YOU ARE NOT REQUIRED to complete this part.

Even though your income passed the poverty guidelines,but, still you add your savings/checking and 401K in LINE 26 (ASSETS) on i-864? Is this going to be a problem? My wages is only 36k+. I just want to make sure that it's really enough to support my wife.

Any advice? Should I add my assets or not? Thanks!

You will be better to submit it if you think you are borderline. I submitted them with mine (copy of W2, copy of last year's 1040, letter from employer, and letter from my bank stating savings and checking account balances). If you own real estate or stock/bonds/etc, add proof for those too. I was not close to the poverty line but sent them anyway to be safe. The advice I see on the forum holds true... better to submit too much information than not enough and get a request for information that will slow things up.

My fiancee (hubby now) was/is above the poverty guidelines. But he submitted all his financial stuff(bank, investment, properties, etc...). I never had any problem with my interview.
