Interview two Thursdays away in Auckland

Hi Team

After filing in March 2014, we now have an interview in two weeks time, just a few questions:

Firstly, we will have a sponsor for myself as once my wife and I move to USA we wont have any jobs straight away - the sponsor will be her dad. Part of the prep for the interview they are asking for proof of my funds to support myself whilst in America - i know there are the poverty guidelines which with sponsorship we will exceed so that's fine - but I dont know if there is an amount they are looking for when asking proof of my funds (I am the immigrant). By the time of the interview we hope to provide evidence of savings for USA of about $12,000 and also proof of assets of a car worth about $7000. I hope this will suffice.

Also, my wife (USA citizen and joint sponsor) has been asked to supply her latest tax transcript for the most recent tax year - but as we are both in New Zealand this is difficult because the irs online option is not active at the moment.....any thoughts with this? I bring this up because they had some minor issues with the way we interpreted and filled in the i864 - affidavit of support.

I hope when we present everything at the interview, any formality related issues we can fix on the day.

Are you self sponsoring? CO's usually aren't interested in the intending immigrant's funds since sponsorship is the petitioner's responsibility. If the petitioner cannot meet the poverty guideline's on their own, then a joint sponsor who does is required.
