Hello, I am updating the I-864 in behalf of my mother for my upcoming interview this May. Can anyone tell me how to determine or calculate the 'Current Individual Annual Income'? The petitioner does not have fixed working hours. I m confused. Some say it should be based on last year s AGI from the tax return (2024), while others say it should be based on the last six months of pay stubs which I do not have the slightest idea how to do that. If its any help her AGI for 2022-43k, 2023-32k and 2024-35k

Also, Can I submit the 2024 Wage and Income Transcript to the CEAC portal even though it says, 'No Record of Return Filed'? I already have the 2024 Tax Return Transcript. For W-2s, I only have the ones shown in the attached image

Hello, I m a naturalized citizen since June 2024. My 17-year old son immigrated shortly after and received his Permanent Resident card in December 2024. Given the current political climate, is it a sound idea to apply for his N600? He will turn 18 in January 2026. Thanks in advance!

According to USCIS, my wife has about a 4 month window before her N-400 interview. She's worried about the citizenship quiz.

I gave her applications to go through the questions, but now she's asking me for resources to study that information (as opposed to just learning the answers).

Does anyone know of a resource I can give her?

Thanks in advance.

How to respond to a 221g joint sponsor when using assets.

As the petitioner, my spouse s visa was approved after responding to a 221(g) request for a joint sponsor. However, a joint sponsor was not provided because we qualified based on assets, as originally submitted. All supporting documents including bank statements, brokerage account details, and the house deed (with no mortgage) were uploaded alongside the I-864 Affidavit of Support.

In our response to the 221(g), we included a cover letter with a clear and concise explanation of the total asset value. It is important to note that consular officers are not accountants; they do not typically analyze bank or brokerage statements in detail. Instead, they primarily focus on income as reported on tax returns, as it provides a straightforward way to assess financial eligibility.

During the visa interview, the Filipino consular officer at Window 60 refused to discuss assets. He was dismissive and told my spouse to leave, stating that he was too busy to review the asset documentation.

ADVICE FOR PETITIONERS QUALIFYING ON ASSETS:

If you are using assets instead of income to meet the financial requirements, clearly explain your assets in simple terms. Use Part 11 (Additional Information) on the I-864 to provide a direct breakdown of your asset values. Additionally, cite the relevant sections of the guidelines that explain how assets can be used to qualify. This ensures clarity and reduces the chances of a misunderstanding or dismissal by the reviewing officer. Interview: Jan 22, 2025 Qualifying on assets. Refused 221g Joint Sponsor.
