Just starting the process - Current Concern

[michaelofiuka]

Hello to all willing to help,

I am a disabled US veteran (100%), my VA compesation is 100% non-taxabe, I also draw SSI Disability, along with a US Posal service annuity (medically separated). The latter 2 are taxable and I pay my taxes.

I married my wife in China this month and am now starting the process of bringing her home. Between the three incomes listed above I make more than enough to provide 125% of the mean poverty level.

My concern is "Will the fact that my VA pension being non-taxable have an impact on my I-864 Affidavit of Support, since it is the bulk of my income". I was intending on sending a letter from VA stating my disability rating and monthly income with my paperwork, but would like to know if this is advisable also could any of this cause a problem for my wife and myself during our application process.

For the I-864 income requirement, they only care that it is 1.) from a legal source and 2.) that it is of a sufficient amount. NOTHING ELSE MATTERS.

Thank you so very much. I was so very concerned and this news brings a grand smile to my face.

Next question,
My wife works two jobs currently. Should I include her financial information on I-864, it says it is optional, but I honestly do not want any delays. If the info will help the process then we will include it.
