Urgent - Please help with I-864A

[besthopes 9]

I did not receive any response so I am posting back. I need help filling up I-864A along with I-864:

My spouse is not working and only income is from bank interest. We file taxes as Married Filing Joint.

While filling up, I-864, I entered my income in Current annual income. Under, income you are using from any other person who was counted in your household size part, I entered my Spouse name and entered the bank interest income (from last years) in Current annual income.

My spouse filled up I-864A because we file taxes jointly. In I-864A, "Unemployed" is selected and bank interest income (from previous year) is entered in "My current individual annual income"

My question is: Is entering previous years bank interest income in Current individual annual income ok or not ? or Should we enter "0" instead of bank interest income in Current individual annual income.

Will there be any issues ?

Please guide.

Will the bank income be the same this year?

Thank you for response. It is difficult to predict that the interest income will remain the same this year. It can be less or slightly more than 2014 interest income.

That is difficult then. I would say if it is part of your declared tax income, add it, maybe with a short explanation letter, so that the tax papers you show add up to the same amount as the affadavit of support. If the bank interest is not declared as income, but as something else on your tax filings, then I would not add it,unles you absolutely need it to make the poverty line.

I am only adding my spouse I-864A because of married filing joint. My income is well above poverty guideline. So is it ok to put $0.00 in spouse's Current Individual annual income ? (spouse only income is from bank interest)
