Form I-864, Affidavit of Support

[Hotovaga 4]

Hi,

I came to know from someone (with some immigration law background, but not in practice) THAT if someone owns a self employment business such an LLC with no or limited income but has all IRS fillings in good standing (i.e filing annual income tax and other Forms with zero income etc. ) can get an income qualification waiver from the USCIS?

I'm skeptical because it makes no good sense of applying for financial supporting ANYONE without income? Doesn't filing for I-864 require someone to have a CURRENT income and proof such as pay-stubs?

Perhaps a joint-sponsor could be the solution?

Thanks for your help in advance.

No such thing as an income qualification waiver.  The only time that the I-864 is waived is when the beneficiary will automatically become a US citizen upon entry or has the required 40 hours SS work credits.  

 

If the petitioner/primary sponsor does not have the required income or assets, then they need a Joint Sponsor.

Joint sponsor. We see quite a few people whose “zero income” or “very low income” for tax purposes comes back to bite them when it’s time to file an 864.

Stop listening to this someone with some immigration law background.  This person has no idea what they are talking about.  Income waiver - oh please.
