Recent Naturalized Citizen Sponsoring Parents that own US Property

[bkromka 0]

Hi,

I've recently became a US Citizen and now I am in the process of sponsoring my parents for their Green Card / Employment Authorization document. My parents have lived here for over 20 years, originally coming here on a work visa which has since expired (and was never renewed).

I just received an RFE saying: "Based on the documents submitted with Form I-864, Affidavit of Support, for the petitioner/sponsor, the income did not meet 125% of the poverty guideline for the petitioner/sponsor's household size.

Subtmit evidence of assets that meet the standards listed below or obtain a join sponsor......."

My question is, can my parents be their own sponsor? They own their own home (which could be used as an asset) - plus they have money in their bank accounts. All in US, of course. Or does the sponsor need to be an outside party that is a legal resident of this country?

Legal Resident or a USC.

US domiciled.

hi

no, it has to be a second home, they cannot be homeless if immigration needed to liquidate their home

so you will need a joint sponsor

you are always the primary sponsor as the petitioner, you will need to get a joint sponsor

They have a second home - a summer house. Should I simply send two deeds indicating their ownership of two properties? Should I also include their bank statements?

And just to confirm they are not legal residents - but they are US domiciled for over 22 years.

Then they do not qualify

What about this part?:

"You may use the assets of the intending immigrant regardlessof where he or she resides. The intending immigrant mustprovide evidence of such assets with this form. Form I-864Ais not required to document the intending immigrant's assets."
