Using foriegn assets to meet the income level.

[SrilankanstoUS 11]

Hello guyss!! have a good day. Can me and my sponsoring US spouse use my foreign assets to supplement the minimum income? ( We can't find a joint sponsor ) has anyone else got approved previously using assets of intending immigrant? ( Assets are just real estate worth way above the required amount )

Accoding to i-864 one can use assets of the intending immigrant. Make sure you file proof of ownership and appraisal of the value. A lot may and will depend on local adjudicator, how they deal with this locally, how familar they are with local property market (keep in mind that assets need to be convertible to cash within a year). They will also look at sponsor's overall situation as well as yours (including education, work history etc).

I tried this and am not so sure it worked... I got documentarily qualified but they also sent a message that I don´t meet the minimum income requirement. I don´t want to risk it... so I am getting a joint sponsor and will bring the paperwork with me to the interview.

You can give it a shot... but be prepared to possibly have a backup plan of a joint sponsor.
