Self Sponsorship - Evidence without cash assets

[isbjorn 4]

Hello,

We are thinking about self-sponsoring in London, the petitioner isn't currently working, however the beneficiary is a keyman in a role, their current employer will allow them to work in America - working remotely, on present salary. The beneficiary earns annually after UK taxes about $9k over the minimum poverty guidelines for 2.

The kicker is the beneficiary has no savings, nor property portfolio - rented always, no stocks, etc, etc. However the beneficiary has no debt too. Aged 26.

Will the embassy be looking for savings mainly, or will a guaranteed monthly income suffice, and a letter from their current employer?

Thanks

Prove your income will continue in the US and how much it will be. Most people do not have a job that will continue, hence the emphasis on assets.

Can you legally work in the US before you have EAD which takes 2-3 months, even if you are working remotely? I am not sure but it's worth looking in to before you go down that route.

Good question, to be honest I have no idea, we have looked at the document i765

and the options are:

• Permission to accept employment
• Replacement
• Renewal

The latter two don't apply, and the first... well the beneficiary isn't "accepting" employment it's just not been terminated...

The petitioner has called the USCIS they couldn't give a yes or no answer and said goto document i765.

FYI, beneficiary went to the interview with bank statements, letter from employer and paystubs.

Only the letter from employer was looked at. Visa Application Approved.
