Income from intending immigrant - What does same source of income mean?

[Andew_YeeHa 0]

Hello

 

My wife and I, wife (US citizen) she looks after our 1 year old son and currently has an income of 0. We are exploring using my income for the I-894 (I am here on a L-1 visa). Wanted to gain some clarity on what the same source of income means, see below:

 

Quote

2. Income from the intending immigrant, if that income will continue from the same source after immigration, and if the intending immigrant is currently living in your residence. If the intending immigrant is your spouse, his or her income can be counted regardless of current residence, but it must continue from the same source after he or she becomes a lawful permanent resident;

If we choose this option, does that mean that I need to stay with the same employer the full time? What happens if I voluntary leave or I want to take a new job etc? Does it mean I am tied to that employer, or is it more loosely stated, meaning: stay in the same line of work (I work in the oil field.) I seem to understand the statement meaning more for foreign income, and that an individual would work for a sister company in the US after obtaining residence, but not sure of the context of the above statement means with regards to already working the the US on a L-1 visa. 

 

Looking for some clarification on this meaning, any help is appreciated. 

 

Thanks

I understand that you both currently live in the US, and that you (the immigrant) have a US employer? Then it's fine. They're asking about the immediate time period after immigration, will you still be in the same job (or will it be possible that you are in the same job). The limitation is mainly aimed at immigrants who will leave their job in their home/foreign country.

How long does the immediate interval mean? 

 

Yes US company. What would happen if after I received my EAD, I left my current company to work for another one? Is there any breach in the visa?

It's a little abstract/irrelevant in your scenario. For a CR1/IR1 immigrant it would mean that, his/her employment situation was the same the last day in their home country and the first day in the US.

No, because you would have another US employer - still fulfilling the requirement.

 

I haven't had my coffee yet, not so good at articulating a response ;-)
