Hi
I need help to sort out a problem of my friend. My friend has married to a US citizen. His wif is US born Citizen. Actully her parent came to US in 60s and then spend almost 20 years in US. Then they came back to Pakistan and start their business. But they got Citizenship. For the time being they are now in Pakistan and use to go US every year or twice in a Year. Now they are sattled in Pakistan and a very rich family. So think is that they are US citizen but they don't pay any tax or don't work in US. Bottom of line they only have citizenship. But in Pakistan they pay all tax and everything. Now my friend's wife filled I-130 and it was approved. my friend told me that he got Packet-3 and then they submit all other documents. Case was sent to US Embassy in Islamabad (Pakistan) and he was called for an interview. When counsler asked his wife tax document he was enable to give. Now in this situation what should he do.
Any advise will be highly appritiated,.

They could show assets whose value should cover the amount required to meet/exceed the minimum requirements. Look at instructions on the I-864
 
I also remember reading that when you use assets instead of the income on tax returns, those assets need to be available in the US, no abroad!

If you look closely at the instructions on the I-864, it asks you to list only assets that can be readily converted into cash within one year. It is not a mandatory requirement that you need to have all assets converted into cash at the time of filing.

Also, i dont see anywhere specifically mentioned that assets (esp real estate) need to be only in the US. Can you point me to a link that mentions this? Did you see it in a CFR?
 
Thanks for reply.

Thanks for reply. I shall see I-864 and will see what will happend. But in my point of view, sponser must show an income more than 125% of poverty line so by that you can sponser or take care of your petitioner for 5 years. I saw these instruction on I-864. But may be there would be some other chance for luck. Well thanks again. And if you get anything more pls. feel free to post here.

The obligation does not end in 5 years as you mentioned. A sponsor's obligation continues until the sponsored immigrant becomes a U.S. citizen, can be credited with 40 qualifying quarters of work, departs the United States permanently, or dies. Divorce does not terminate the obligation.
 
Thanks

Thanks ari4u. I wasn't unaware of this information.
Thnaks again. Ok. what do you think if my friend's wife open a bank account and if she will deposite some money. May be a couple of 100 thousand. or if she made an invesment somewhere in US.
