Interview Friday...one last thing! (Hopefully)

[michael_jones86 0]

Hi everyone,

Got my visa interview on Friday (so nervous!).

My wife (US citizen) is just filling in her Affidavit of Support (i864 form) now. As she has lived in the UK for the past 4 years, she doesn't earn any US income. Therefore, should she leave the section blank that asks for her annual income? Or should she fill in her UK income?

I have a joint sponsor in the US who has also filled in an i864 form and included all the relevant details of his US income.

Thanks!

I did my visa in South Korea but I put my foreign income on the I-864. My foreign income was considered sufficient enough for them not to need my co-signer's information but this seems to vary with different consulates.

But yes, she would put her foreign income on the I-864. They will know where it was earned by looking at the tax forms and other information.

Has she been filing US taxes for the past 4 years? When I filed DCF, I put that I was employed but my annual income was 0. They asked me about it and I said that the job would not be following me to the US and therefore, in terms of support in the US, I had 0 income. They said ok and did not look at anything else on my I864 and just moved on to check my co-sponsor.

Mine was also complicated as I have been out of the US for 5 years, but have never had income high enough that required me to file taxes so I had no tax returns from the US.

Good luck! Everything will be fine!

You have everything to show proof off the I864 form, correct?

Bank Statements, Tax Forms, Assets, birth certificate of the joint sponsor in america and of your wife?

Funnily enough some of the most forgotten items are the most obvious, for example:

Passport

Birth Certificate

I864 Form

Marriage Certificate

Remember not to bring anything with you that's electronic (phones, car keys -the kind that you press the button and lock with-) You will also have to remove any coins,rings, belts, coats and put them through an airport type security

Most importantly, be yourselves and you'll do fine!
