We have studied the I-864 instruction. But it doesn't mention anything about whether the sponsor's assets can be foreign or not. It does mention that the intend immigrant 's assets don't have to be somewhere he/she resides. He probably will have to study abroad around 6 months when we need to deal with this issue. We have filed I-130 recently and are waiting for the result. It'll probably take him around 10 -12 months to graduate from now. Hope I understood your question properly.

Thank you so much for your answer! It's very helpful to me!

Hello all, My husband is U.S citizen, and is currently studying abroad. I currently reside in the same country with him. He is filing I130 petition and later need to file I864 application to show that he can financially support me when I go to the U.S. However, as a graduate student, he doesn't have income. He only has savings in foreign currency (wnot USD) where we currently reside. I have some savings in foreign currency where we currently reside as well. My questions are: 1. If my husband doesn't have any income, can he solely rely on his savings as the proof of financial support? 2. I know that the foreign spouse( beneficiary) can use foreign assets as supplement to meet USCIS poverty guideline. Can the sponsor (U.S citizen) use foreign assets as well? Or are they only allowed to use their U.S assets? Thank you!

Lol that's a mistake.. I do have another question tho. In the online I130 form there's a question "Where in the United States does the beneficiary intend to live?" But since my husband and I have left the States for few years cuz his education and we don't own a property in the US, is it okay if we put my relative's address?

I asked this question before I saw your answer. Sorry for the confusion~ really appreciate your help!

Thank you! I read it somewhere saying that USCIS never sends correspondences to a foreign address... my husband and I live outside the US now, so should we provide a US mailing address?

Thank you. I was also wondering if CR1 visa was issued but the date I enter the US passes 2 year anniversary, will the government send me permanent green card or conditional green card?

Thank you so much! That's very helpful!

Thank you so much! Your answer is really helpful. Thank you!

Hi all, I'm a bit confused about the "2 years marriage" criteria for IR1/CR1. Is it calculated based on the date you receives USCIS Notice of Approval, the date NVC receives the case or the date you actually conduct the visa interview? Or some other date? Please help.. Thanks!

Ohh sorry to make you feel confused. I'm the beneficiary. I meant the petitioner is planning to file it online. We are just preparing it together cuz we live together.

That's a lot useful information ! Really appreciate your detailed answer. Thank you!

Yea that could be a problem that we need to solve.. he might have a US bank account not sure if that's enough..

Okay got it! Thank you for your answer! Do you know what kind of documents the USCIS would send me except the green card itself? I'm applying the petition online btw.

Well I thought it'd be faster to receive the mail if the address is in the US. Do you happen to know what kind of documents the USCIS would mail? I plan to file everything online.
