Affidavit of Support showing house hold income from intending immigrant

[srajeevan 5]

Hi,

 

Please see the attached image from Page 5 of I-864.

 

Here petitioner is unemployed and so income is zero, but the intending immigrant did join tax filing for the last three years including the petitioner.

 

The Part6. question 20 shows the Annual Household Income as $70,000.00 ,which is the beneficiary's income.

My question here is ;

 

Whose information has to be filled the 23.a,23.b ,24.a,24.b,24.c and 25.? Petitioner or Beneficiary or the Household in general.

Because Part 6. is Sponsor's Employment and Income info, and 23.a asks have you filed federal income tax returns.

In fact the sponsor's is filed jointly.so it should be yes or no.??

 

Also when filling 24.a,b,c shows household income? or just zero since petitioner is unemployed.

 

Also what about 25 ?because it is confusing as petitioner is included in the intending immigrants tax returns.

 

Any help is appreciated.

 

Thanks

What is the status of intending immigrant?

Also, do you AOS in the US or consular processing?

Please update your timeline.

Intending immigrant is on H1-B work visa and is legally in USA.So AOS was filed.

Ok, the I-864 is all about petitioner. However, since the beneficiary is on H1-B, so the income is combined. Don't forget I-864A for your spouse. Unless you as the petitioner has a valid reason why you don't have income( attend school full time..), there will be some concern about this, and possible they will ask about it at the interview.

okay.

I have valid reason why the petitioner is unemployed and not working.

But i don't think the spouse(intending immigrant) has to file i-864A.

I was looking at the instructions for I-864A instructions and it says the below info: 

 

In my case, the sponsor(petitioner) is only including the intending immigrants(spouse) income in the I-864 ,so no need for separate I-864A for spouse.

Am i correct ??
