[Hilde 381]

Can the intending immigrant be the financial sponsor in the I-864 form if the petitioner does not earn enough?

Petitioner must file an I-864.  Intending immigrant can file I-864a.

Yes, although they must show that the income will continue from the same source upon coming to the US.

No I-864A needed if the intending immigrant has no derivatives. Since this is a CR-1/IR-1 case, that applies.

Just check the box that says "One or more of the people listed in Item Numbers 8., 11., 14., and 17. do not need to complete Form I-864A because he or she is the intending immigrant and has no accompanying dependents."

The beneficiary currently has a job (overseas) that ears above the poverty line and also has assets. But when he moves to the US he will have another job from another source than the current. So he can't be the sponsor,  correct?

The beneficiary's income from the current job will end when he immigrates, so his income can not be used.  He can't use income from a future job either.  

The only time that the beneficiary can use the income from the current job is when the income will continue after he immigrates to the US.

His income cannot be counted, correct. His assets can be included.
