Hello everyone,
I have a question and I hope you guys can help me out... My wife (petitioner, sponsor) and I (principal immigrant) are working on the I-864 form (Affidavit of support).
Our situation is as follows:
1. My wife is living with her two little children in the USA. I am outside of the USA.
2. My wife is getting child support
3. My wife started to work two weeks ago, but she is not making a lot of money
4. My wife can't meet the requirements of the poverty guidlines
5. Therefore we are using a joint sponsor
My two questions are:
A) My wife is planning to stop working in 2-3 months (because of her small kids). So it's just a job for a short period of time to help out a little bit financially. Is my wife obliged to mention in Part 6 (Sponsor's income and employment) that she is working now or can we state that she is unemployed since she's gonna stop soon anyway.
I am asking because even with my wife's child support, her income from the current work and our assets we are not able to meet the financial requirements. That's why we are using the joint sponsor. Since my wife will not meet the requirements anyway why are trying to avoid making things more complicated - So why handing in a pay stub for two weeks (as I said, she just started), prove assets etc. if it doesn't affect the question if requirements are being met or not (cause the answer is no anyway). Saying that my wife is unemployed would not be for our advantage so it is not about fooling the NVC - but we are afraid that it still be considered as a fraud, although the joint sponsor will be the one in the end who will make the difference and incluence the decission. We just want to avoid that my wife stps working after filing the I-864 and we would have to inform the NVC then about the changes - this would be more complicated so it would be just easier to state that she is unemployed.
B) We have some assets. Are we obliged to mention them even though we are using a joint sponsor?
Thank you in advance!
Kind regards,
Rafa
