Also to note, foreign employment that will not be continuing after immigration can not be used towards the I-864. The petitioner will need assets, a US based job, or a joint sponsor.

We have letters of offer of employment for Jess. She is a nurse, has already obtained her NCLEX for licensing. We have a house and property there (was a wedding present) for assets and offers of joint sponsors if needed.

HI all, and thanks for your responses.

We have actually emailed US Embassy in the end for clarification. According to IRS @ Paris Embassy (for foreign enquiries) NONE of Jess' children are listed as dependants in tax returns, as they have no social security number. Again to refresh: All have been born in Australia, none have any interest in claiming US citizenship (they're in their teens so have respected their wishes)

So will wait and see what information the Visa department comes up with.

Thanks

And her step children ? They dont live with us

Hi, we have filed our i-130, looking at the other forms we have a question regarding 1-864. We have listed our children on the i-130 as required. I have children who dont live with me, my wife does too from a previous marriage. We are both (wife USC) living in Australia, Jess having spent the last 17 years here and is now a dual national. Our question is, NONE of our children are migrating. Hers wish to stay here with their dad, mine live with their mother. We are fine with the decision. But, as none of them are migrating (Jess' children do not hold US citizenship having been born here) what figure do we calculate our household size as being ? Will it be 2 ? (Just us) Us and Jess' children? All of us even though it ill physically just the 2 of us. There is about a $30k difference in 125% values.

Thanks

Hi, we are just starting the walk to Mordor immigration process.

Our situation is we have been together 8 years, married for 5, met and living in Western Australia.

Jess is the US citizen (well dual national now), I'm the Australian.

More here for the info at the moment but will post any questions we have along the way.

The paper work looks ok, we may have issues with support documents as Jess has been here since 18 and never filed a US tax return.

Ah the web we weave.

Anyway, back to reading the forums,

Darren & Jess.
