No taxable income, no income from employment, but income of more than $52,000 in 2007 nonetheless, plus a lump sum payment of $25,000 for my equity in a vacation home and income of $48,000 in 2006. And, I have the wire transfers for three years. And an employment contract guaranteeing me a...

I looked it up. It's five times if you're using assets rather than income and three times if you're using assets instead of income and you're sponsoring your spouse or minor child, however, I have the required income for 2007, which was the year we filed our petition and I'll have the required...

Thank you for the help. How does one go about correcting a mistake they made on the I-864? Do you know? And do you know if the assets have to be five times the income or only three times now? (If you don't know offhand, I can look on the USCIS Website. I don't want to impose.) Don't feel...

I think it is the year in which the petition was filed, not the interview year, which would be 2007 in my case. My husband and I filed our petition in August 2007, so I would need to show proof of income for 2007, I think. I have that, and a tax form, but not for 2006, although I did, as the...

The interviewing officer, who didn't see any problem (he even told my husband his GC would arrive in about forty-five days), did not even take the new I-864. I think that's part of the problem. He approved everything, but I think, because he did not take the new I-864, my photcopied tax form...

Yes, I think disclosing the non-taxable income confused more than it helped and I probably should have listed the money as an asset, however since it came monthly for six years, it seemed more like income to me. But I'm no expert, as I've shown. I did feel the need for full disclosure and I...

Thank you for the advice and information. No, I did not work in 2006. No, I did not file taxes in 2006. Yes, my AGI was above the guidelines. No, my husband did not begin working until January 2008. I have assets that make up the difference, though I do think we've found a joint sponsor...

Thank you. Sorry to quote your whole response, but I couldn't remember everything you wrote. The non-taxable income was a gift from my then husband to me and gifts from a husband to a wife aren't taxable according to the IRS. He received absolutely nothing in return for the money. I...

I am an American citizen and resident who is married to a lawfully admitted French citizen. He received his Work Permit with no problems and our AOS Interview on January 28, 2008 went very well and the interviewing officer approved our petition. However, because my income, prior to July...
