My consular interview is in 5 days and my petitioner husband just got laid off (if you don't laugh, you'll cry...), so we're scrambling to sort out a last minute joint sponsor. Thankfully, my husband's mostly-retired parents (the dad the primary joint sponsor, the mum as household income) have agreed to step up to the plate, and they have very good annual income. I'm doing my best to help them with the paperwork.
Their initial pass at filling in the I-864 included SSA deposits and part-time work as the calculation for "current income". That alone brings us decently over the threshold for a household of three. But, looking now at their prior tax returns, they clearly are withdrawing a LOT from an IRA, so I can only imagine this is something that also needs to be included in current income also.
Honestly, I'm CLUELESS about what an IRA may look like, how it's deposited, how frequently, etc. What can I ask from my in-laws to prove they are withdrawing from their IRA, to the point where it can be evidenced as Current Income?
Thanks all.
