I-864 employment/asset question

[chubuwest 1]

Hello again,

Good news! We got our NOA2 only 36 days after receiving NOA1. I will be calling the NVC (despite hearing stories of how busy they are) pretty soon to get the case number, but before I do I have a quick question regarding the I-864.

We both live in Japan and will be moving to the States at the same time, although I plan on continuing most of my current work after the move (Japanese-English translation.) What do I put in for income in that case?

I have US tax returns for the last three years to send with the I-864, and the amount of assets we have is enough to cover the poverty line requirement.

Thanks in advance!

If the income will be continuing from the same source (employer) then you can list your current income. If not, it will be zero.

Assets held outside the US are valued at a 5:1 ratio. Assets held inside the US are considered at a 3:1 ratio. You must supply proof of value and ownership for the assets being presented. See page 8 of the I-864 instructions for what is acceptable as far as valuation.

Thank you! The assets in question are held inside the US, and the total amount is over the 3:1 ratio. As for the employment, it is impossible to say how many of the clients will continue work at this point (and the amount of income they provide varies from month to month), so I will probably put down zero in that category. That being said, I will still provide my tax returns from the last three years.

Do I need to provide a printed statement from the company or would a printed PDF file from each institution suffice? I ask because all 3 institutions provide online statements, and those would be much easier to access. In addition, they have all of the required information.

Thanks again!

For assets you want to prove the value and if cash/cash equivalent, how long you've held the asset.

Thank you - it sounds like a simple statement obtained online will suffice! One final question regarding these documents...

Do the tax returns need to be official documents or can they be PDF files from previous returns? I have the necessary returns ready to go if the latter is the case...
