Unemployed, living abroad. Need help with I-864.

We will have a joint sponsor if necessary!

How do we fill out I-864 if sponsor is unemployed and spouse (beneficiary) makes income that will not continue once we move to the US? We are living in Canada and have already submitted I-130.

1. Are spouses' assets able to be used if they are the beneficiary?

2. We already have a joint sponsor set up, but when looking at the form, I am confused about Part 7 specifically. Do I enter the joint sponsors information in Part 6 and then skip Part 7 (Use of assets to supplement)? Part 7 says if your income or total household income meets requirement, then skip this part. I am unable to use my household income though, correct? Based on the requirements for I-864A, we can't use his income due to the fact that it won't continue once he gains PR status.

 

3. In this scenario, is the joint sponsors' income considered my household income for Part 6 and I just skip Part 7 because it's not applicable?

If I can use the household income (Canadian income from beneficiary), then I wouldn't need a joint sponsor.

Assets not needed if you have a qualifying joint sponsor.

 

Assets are routinely ignored.

 

Here's few examples on Visa Journey:
