I-864 AOS current individual annual income when living/working overseas

[EastMeetsWest2018 9]

Hello Community Experts,

 

For Part 6, Question 7 about annual income, do I put $0.00 here as my income since my job will not continue when I move back to the USA and therefore this source of income will disappear? Or do I put my current annual salary converted to USD? Looking at the question at face value, I would lean towards putting my current salary. However, when looking at the instructions, it says the annual income that you are using to meet the requirement. Since my salary will expire when I move back to the USA, this leads me to believe that I should put $0.00. If it is the latter (putting $0.00), is there any need to include an Employment letter or 6 months of pay stubs?

 

We will qualify with assets, combined assets (including my IRAs and my wife's IRA-equivalent from Singapore that she can cash out and take with her penalty/tax-free) is over 10x 125% of poverty level for a household size of 3. Is an I-864A needed from my wife (the principal sponsored immigrant)? How many monthly statements do we need for each account to submit to the NVC? Or do we just take with us to the interview?

 

Bonus question: My wife is 6 months pregnant. For household calculation for the I-864 form, do include our unborn child as part of the number of members in the household calculation? Or do I somehow provide an update after the birth of our child (or indicate during the interview)?

 

Thank you for your help/advice!

That is what you will write.

Bring an updated form to the interview.

Thanks for the answers. I would still like to know:

 

1. Do I need to include pay stubs or an employment letter in my packet to return to the NVC if I put my current income is $0.00?

2. For using assets, what is the best method of showing the value? X amount of months of monthly statements? If so, how many months? I will be using the value of cash savings, brokerage account, my IRAs, and my wife's Singapore CPF (which she will be eligible to take with her/cash out penalty/tax-free when she gives up her Singapore PR).

 

Thanks in advance for advice.
