Filling AOS for petitioners with foreign income

[TomHank 4]

Hi All,

This is one area with very scanty any no particular trend for. We need people how have actually gone through the process up to the interview stage to clear some gray areas.

1. Is it okay to fill 0 as your current income because your income will not continue when you move to US?

2. Is there any advantage of include what you have in your savings account in the USA as part of your access even when your joint sponsor has adequate income?

3. When you use the foreign income tax exemption, line 22 of your IRS form 1040a will be $0. Is that the correct information to enter in the Part 6 ...13a, b and c of the AOS?

4. Do you have to have a job in the USA to proof domicile successfully?

Please share your experience through the NVC stage and at the interview.

Thank you.

Tom

1. Yes- Because the income will not carry over to the US you will have no current income to support your spouse on the income you are on now. Foreign income doesn't count. $0 is acceptable.

2. Only advantage I can see is if you need savings for when you move back home, as it's good to have savings just in case for any emergencies, or to get back on your feet.

3. Yes, you put what it says on your federal tax transcript for the total income you made, adjusted income if you filed an 1040ez.

4. No you don't have to have a job in the US to provide sufficient US domicile, there's a list of documents you could to provide you have maintained US domicile or are re-establishing your domicile. This can be found in Saylin's NVC thread in her Wiki. The job does hold a lot of weight, but it really depends what satisfies the CO at interview.
