Evidence for use of assets to supplement income in I-864

[sharpie11 6]

I want to use my stock holdings and bank account value (savings + checking) to supplement my income in the I-864, I wanted to know

 

- Do we enter the value of the savings+checking account and stock value on the day we sign the form (Since stock values do change from day to day)?

 

- What kind of evidence do we need to include - 1) Bank statements downloaded from online banking for last 12 months , or a single bank statement from online banking that shows the account balances for the last 12 months ? 2) For stocks - Tax reporting statement from last year + Brokerage monthly statement downloaded for online for each month of this year ?

 

Will this be enough? Is any attestation required?

Current values per latest available statement, so the statements can be the evidence.  If the value is very comfortably over the needed amount, one statement is usually good.  You could show one 3, 6, 9, and 12 months back if you want.

Hi , I had a question on this. Since it has been 17 days since the last bank statement arrived (on August 15) and I have since then also had a salary deposit, can I just put the current value of my bank account, and include a printout of the current bank balance and transactions since the last statement + 12 months prior bank statements as evidence of the latest bank balance, or will it still be better to enter the amount mentioned in the statement from August 15 as my bank balance in part 7 item 1?

I already answered that.  You're just asking in a different way.  A salary deposit is not going to make much difference in your total liquid assets.

Hi, Quick question - my mother is the joint sponsor in my case. Her name only has a first name and last name but I just discovered that her pay stubs are showing a middle initial in addition to her first and last name because her employer erroneously included her maiden last name as middle name in her records way back when.  Her passport, employer letter, domicile proof (driver license, utility bill) all have the correct name (without the middle initial). Will I need to attach a letter explaining the discrepancy along with the pay stubs, or can I wait for if NVC has a question regarding it?

As long as the ssn on her documents match this will be no issue

Hi This may be a silly question but I was wondering who actually should log in to CEAC and upload /  submit the affidavit of support + financial documents of sponsor and DS260 civil documents? Is it the applicant for both  ?

Any of the following may login and upload documents to CEAC -- applicant, petitioner, or 3rd-party representative.  Does not matter whoever of the 3 uploads whichever documents.

Hi, I have obtained a letter from the bank addressed to the consulate that shows : 1) average balance for the last 12 months 2) current balance,  3) the date the account was opened with the bank. Should this be enough to submit with the I-864, or do I still need to submit statements?

I would submit at least a current statement.  Bear in mind this is a judgment call.  Make it easy for them.  It's not about "have to".
