Assets (cash) only for I864

[marymon 15]

Hi,

We are using only assets for i864

We are 3 household , property guideline for 2016 is 25200 for 3. We need 3:1 so $75,600 to meet that guide line. We have 110,000 in our saving and current account. We print out the statements for one year to prove that the money is ours. is that amount ok for NVC and embassy?

That should be fine. Is the money in a US account or an Irish one?

When I went through this we used assets too (the home we had already bought in the USA, and savings moved over), and the CO mentioned it was good the assets were US based. But that was 8 years ago....

Some are in Irish account and some are in US account. I will transfer most of them to US account very soon.

We used assets too, all were held in accounts and a stock portfolio in Sweden and that was approved. We had a letter from the bank manager stating how long I had been a customer and that the money had been in the accounts/stock portfolio for at least a year.

The embassy also required a signed letter from me explaining the assets, including what made up the different asset boxes on the I-864.

I've been wondering about this myself as my husband and I will be in a situation where I'll have a newborn and he'll be working part time ... therefore our savings will be our main "support" proof. May I ask where you found out how much you need to show? And are you able to use this as proof of support instead of a job?

It's in the instructions for the I-864.

Update: In case of anyone is looking for a recent information about Assets only for I864

Before we submit I864, we transferred US$ 80,000 to our US bank account(a few thousands over 3 times over 125% poverty guideline).

We sent out the US bank statements, Irish bank statements, home valuation from Auctioneer, Land deed , car title and car valuation from dealer.

After case close at NVC, we got a checklist like that.....

" The NVC has received the information you have submitted in reference to

the Affidavit of Support. Please be advised that the Affidavit of Support

information you have provided does not appear to meet the minimum

income requirement according to the current poverty guidelines to sponsor

the intending immigrant(s) for this petition. The consular officer will make

a decision regarding this requirement at the time of your interview. In

order to avoid delays, you may wish to submit an additional Affidavit of

Support (Form I-864) for a/another Joint Sponsor to the National Visa

Center to assist in sponsoring the intending immigrants."

We were panic and called NVC. They said it was a suggestion only, not a real checklist. Final decision was on CO from your embassy.

We continued visa process without a joint sponsor. CO looked all the documents related to assets but took only US bank statement.

It took a week to get issued visa. It was a real very long week in my life. Then another a week to get tracking number to collect my visa package.

Anyway .....We did it..... Visa in had.
