I-864 Affidavit of Support - No income, assets only

[cherrypeanut 8]

My husband is currently a student so he is not making any income at this time.

In order for him to be my sole sponsor, we would have to have cash/assets worth at least 3 times the poverty guidelines amount for our household size. Is this correct?

 

For example, for our household of 2, we would have to have assets worth 3 x $21,550 = $64,650

 

Can I combine my husbands assets with my assets (from Canada, converted to USD) in order to meet that amount?

 

Thanks!

Yes, liquid assets can be used in lieu of income. Yes, your assets can be included in the household on the I-864.

Yes, it's at least 3x for a spouse of a USC. Below = no green card. Above = judgement call.

They will look income for recent year. I would recommend to find joint sponsor, preferred family member from same state, who will make enough for him his family and you 2, guys.
