I would delay filing your I-864 until after you start your new job and have a pay stub in hand for a full pay period.  Then, take the gross pay and multiply it by the number of pay periods is a full year.  X52, 26, 24, or 12 as applicable.  That is your current income.

 

Right now, your income is zero and you are unemployed.  Answer present tense questions in the present tense.  Presently, you are unemployed with no income.

I wish that was an option, I need my husband to go back together to help with the baby. Now I'm a bit worried that I'm in a sticky situation. Is it possible he can be denied because I as the primary sponsor don't have money coming in yet? We already have a joint sponsor as extra precaution.

1.  You can submit the offer letter with the contract.  An offer letter by itself is not proof of employment.

 

2.  You can add your spouse's income if his/her work will continue after they immigrate to the US.  If the income is strictly for his/her current employment that he/she has to terminate when they move, you cannot include it.

 

3a.  The decision is based on current income.  What you make now: weekly x 52, or monthly x12, or biweekly x 26, hourly x 2080, etc.

 

3b.  You will need to explain why you were not required to file taxes for the previous 3 years.  State what you wrote here.

Thank you! My spouses income will stop once he move to the USA, so I'll leave him out.

1. Your current income is zero because you are not working. If you need to file I-864 now, get a joint sponsor. Otherwise file  I-864 when your job starts.

 

 

 

Okay, would that mean that I check the unemployed box instead?

also should he still bring my employment contract to his interview to show I have income coming soon?

Who is your partner?  Your spouse?  Your business partner?

My spouse

Hi everyone. I’m filling out the affidavit of support and I have 3 questions regarding Part 6.

1. I was just currently employed, but I have not been paid yet as my start date is in a couple of weeks. Where it ask about my income and position do I input what is on my offer letter and contract even though I haven’t received any money yet? 
 

2. it says “income you are using from any other person who was counted in your household size”

would I add my partners income when he is the beneficiary? Technically he is a part of my household, but I’m not sure if I leave his income out or not. 

3. Will they be going based off of what I'm earning in the future? Or what I have earned in the past? I didn't work for a couple of years due to having a baby so I didn't have to file taxes, I'm not sure if this will mess things up or not? I'm using a joint sponsor, but I just wanted to ask for caution.

TIA! 

Thank you both for your help.

What is her CURRENT household size?

She currently lives alone.

so on the form would that mean it would only be her and my partner?

Hi everyone,

I am using my mom as a joint sponsor but I am having some trouble calculating her household size for the income requirement.

I lived with my mom for half the year last year before I moved to the UK and so she claimed me on her 2022 taxes. Because she has done this does this mean I am considered apart of her household when determining the income level?

Why do they want you to wait 12 weeks.

I'm not sure why we have to wait 12 weeks, I did DCF under exceptional circumstances. When we had the interview in London, the agent informed me that I should be contacted after 12 weeks to book my husband’s interview. 

It's going to be 12 weeks soon so just wanted to know, what sort of documents will be required for his interview so we can start preparing and getting things together. 
 

Also, wanted to know if it'll be OK to go ahead and do the police report in advance as I heard it may a while to complete?

There is no set procedure for DCF.  You need to keep in contact with the embassy and follow their instructions.

My question is more along the lines of do you know what paper work we need to get together for my husbands interview?  

Hello all, I was wondering if anyone could help us understand what the next steps are after filing the petition through the consular? The I-130 was approved on the spot after the interview and I was told to wait 12 weeks. We just don’t know what to do next. What paper work should we be getting together? Is my husband able to do the medical exam now or do we have to wait until we are contacted? Also, can he start getting his police report now as well? 

Thank you for your helpful information

Just make sure you have the formal offer in writing, and the job offer has to be genuine, obviously.  London seems quite generous in accepting DCF requests.  Even if London doesn't accept, it won't ruin your husband's immigration to go through the normal process filing through USCIS.

 

Thank you! I think that was scaring me off from the dcf choice. One last question, do you think I should tell them it’s a family members business or should I keep that information to myself. It’s a small business but they started it about a year ago.

Generally they will accept it as long as it is Bona Fide.  Fill our the request on the contact form for the consulate and start the process.

That’s great thank you! Does that generally mean I should have the employment contract as well as my employment letter to show proof?

That is what DCF is for!  Go for it! 

You don’t think they will deny us based on a job offer from a family member? I don’t want it to ruin our chances for him to immigrate to the states. 

Hi all, I am a U.S. citizen living in London with my husband who  is British. We were looking into moving to America as we have no family, and I miss my family.
Is it possible to use dcf job related exceptional circumstances instead of the standard 2-year process?
I have a family member who owns their own business and is willing to hire me and give me a letter of employment to start work in March 2023.
Would the embassy accept my circumstances and letter of employment for dcf if they know it's family hiring me?
