Immigration Forum / USA Marriage Base / June 2005Ready to go with OF-230 Part - Need Advice!
Hi all, I finally got the package 3 and we are ready to send it off. I am looking for some expert opinions. I have posted before that since I live in the UK as the sponsor, I don't qualify financially and our house has not been valued yet and my assets are not clearly enough based on vested interests, a diverse, confusing group of assets that I could stretch to cover the $80,000 I need, here is my question: My dad has sent me his joint sponsor I-864 and he earns well over $100,000 a year. Should I send in my required but tiny sponsor form with my paltry $4,000 in income based on 2004 tax year, and send dad's in as well, and just let it all take its course, or delay my filing and create a complex asset document? We really want to travel as soon as we can, as my husband has a job waiting? Thank you for your opinions Shannon > Hi all, > [quoted text clipped - 16 lines] > > Shannon Yes, yours is needed as well as your co/joint sponsor's.

So are you saying it is better to take the time to add my finances and only use my dad as backup? It would slow the process down.

You said that you don't have enough to be financial sponsor and that your father was going to be your co/joint sponsor. I was explaining to you how the system works in regards to reimbursement of means tested funds. And you were thinking that you only to submit your father's and not your own.

Sorry I was unclear - I know I have to submit mine, I just want to make sure it does not hurt that mine sucks - and that we are depending on my dad's. We really want to get this moving, and since my dad's 864 is ready and waiting, i am sending it with my poor little one - on the grounds they can't deny you if you have a joint sponsor. It is much easier this way.

Hi: On "sufficiency" grounds, only ONE I-864 needs to be sufficient. The fact that the "petitioner's" I-864 "sucks" does not detract from that. That said, even with a "sufficient" I-864, the ConOff could deny on general "public charge" grounds. However, you said you husband has a job waiting. I think evidence of that waiting job will deal with any concern that the consular officer may have with the general "public charge" grounds. SignatureCertified Specialist Immigration & Nat. Law Cal.

That is a good point - we both will have jobs with my family's company and we have a house to live in basically free. We have plenty of money now and will have plenty in the states. Should I attach the job offer for my husband? The checklist says don't send anything unless it is asked for.

Since it is a family owned business have someone in the family with a position of authority write you a formal employment letter on company stationery and list the start dates, annual salary, and type of position you and you wife will be performing. Also if the house is company owned somewhere in the letter this can be addressed as relocation to company realty property and perhaps a lease of some type. SignatureI'm not an attorney.

Your dad, who is your joint sponsor, will submit the one that will count towards getting the visa application accepted. You don't have to go through the hassle of totalling your assets.
