Soon Applying

I am wraping up my stuff and getting ready to file this Monday 06/18, but I have a question for you guys regarding the form I-864 affidavit of support.
My wife, who is the American citizen, and I are not emplyed. Both of us are students and we have income that comes from a foreign country. My question is how does my wife prove that we have income that is sufficient for both of us other than the tax return forms? This is becasue we do not have to file a tax return form because we do not receive income from a US source. Do you think a letter from the entity supporting us saying that they sponsor us would be fair enough.

I hope someone can help because I really could not find an answer.

Thanks

you will need a co-sponsor. Co-sponsor must be a Permanent resident/United States Citizen and living here in the USA

Hi Preethav,
Forgive my ignorance, but what is the difference between a 'Biometrics appt' and a 'Fingerpriniting appt'? Until now, I thought they both mean the same. :confused:

BTW, I mailed the application packet today. Had an I-130 approval from the time when spouse was a Permanent Resident. Also, I have an approved I-140 and am now eligible to file through employment as dates are current come July. Anyone else in this same situation? Effects of having 2 I-485s at the same time? Good or Bad?
 
Wrapping up my documents just now. Will be on the way Chicago lock box tomorrow.

Aren't the filling fees changing from July on?
 
Does anyone have any answers for me?? Please look at quted post.......

There is no difference. It is the same thing. Just people call it by different names. :)
 
Did you already file an I-485? I believe many people have found themselves in your situation. Usually they file for AOS based on marriage not employment. But there is nothing bad (it doesn't hurt you process) or good (it will not make it twice as fast or you won't get two GCs).
 
Thanks a lot PraetorianXI. Your answer helped a lot.

amar_md, the employment based I-485 is paid for by my employer, so I dont lose anything :) . Just waiting for my receipt notices and monitoring my bank account
