Dear Vj'ers

You guys have helped me throughout this whole process ALOT

and I want to thank you guys, this website is the best-helping website when it comes to information gathering.

y'all know my situation already .. some say it's weird some say it's Normal but hey ! at the end of the day we all humans and we all can end up in

bad situations . I have my interview Monday in Brussel Embassy AT 2pm

I have everything DONE, passport, phot's,medical exam,birth cert. , all form's needed, police register, paid the fee already, etc etc ...

The only thing that's missing is my Sponsor, because we had one, but He changed his mind .. what I will have with me is :

all translated in english :

a savings account statement ( official ) that states I have 10 thousand euro's .

an official broker statement that states, my house has a value of 150 thousand euro's ( Minimum )

and also an official bank mortgage statement that says I have a mortage running in total of 72 thousand Euro's

and my house at the moment is on sale , so that would mean if it's sold I would have app. 75 thousand euro's left in cash .

But I know this is not a big thing because its a future thing and it is not yet sold, But i'll try to explain my situation and I hope they will give me a chance, that's really my only option! so sad , but I will have to stay positive and just Try ! pffffff !!!!

any comments ( positive pleassseeee ) or suggestions is always welcome my fellow Vj'ers

Perhaps I'm wrong about this, but I don't think the beneficiary's income and assets matter, right? I thought the I-134 was all about the USC's income and assets (and any US-based sponsors). If you don't have that, I'm not sure how that's going to work out, but I wish you the best and hope things work out OK.

If you are intending to convince them that you have enough personal assets, you need to complete the I-134 detailing what these assets are. So make sure you do that.

Each embassy has a different tolerance when it comes to this form - I know London is very flexible, for example. You can discuss what you have out on the I-134 at the embassy and they will advise if what you have produced is enough. The house value might work - make sure you can prove that you own it, that you're selling it, and what the value is. I think that's definitely worth a shot!

Unfortunately, it is likely you'll be denied if you have insufficient funds and no other sponsor and the house thing doesn't work out. You should prepare for this outcome.

As discussed in your previous thread, your partner should be making plans to move back to the US to seek employment to satisfy the financial requirements. Those assets won't last forever when you sell the house, and the I-864 is a much stricter form.

It is possible for the beneficiary to self sponsor if they have an income that will continue once in the US or adequate personal assets (5 x the poverty guideline amount for their household size if no income, or the difference if also salaried).

I stand corrected then - learn something new everyday!

Here, I found some other threads of people using a house as an asset, have a read of them (note the mention of mortgage vs value - you'll need the difference to show the actual cash value you'd have left over once paying off the mortgage - sounds like you've thought of that already):

You won't be the first to try using a house value. smile.png I'm worried you're going to be just shy of the required amount though, still. I think it really depends on whether they will insist on 5 x $19387 or 3 x (some embassies will take the lower, also, some embassies will take 100% instead of 125%, so 3 x $15510 or 5 x $15510).

I think safest to always assume and try to match the highest amount. Here's a reminder of the guidelines: http://www.uscis.gov/files/form/i-864p.pdf

I stand corrected then - learn something new everyday!

They just want to see money. It really doesn't matter where it comes from, so long as it'll exist in the USA.
