Submitting I-864 while unemployed

[bubakazouba]

Hello,

I am filling out an I-864 form since I am applying for a greencard for my father. I have a 6 figure income so it?s enough for the 125% of poverty line threshold for my dependents + my father.

There is a question in the form that asks who my current employer is. I just got an offer from another company so I?m taking a 2 months break from work until I start the new work.

Here is my question

1- should I just write unemployed and attach an offer letter with salary and date (2 months from today)
2- should i just write unemployed with no explanation
3- should i wait until I start work so I can just write the name of the new employer
4- any other suggestions?

You are unemployed, so you should write unemployed. However, that means your current income is 0 and it is not enough to meet the required level. Future or past income doesn't count. Once you start work with the new employer, then you can use the new salary as your current income.
