Use Of Assets
Use of Assets to Meet the Affidavit of Support Requirement for Permanent Resident Status-Green Card.
An Affidavit of Support sponsor may show the required income by using their own assets or those of the intending immigrant. These assets must be available to support the intending immigrant. You may use various asset types to qualify.These options include assets such as savings accounts, stocks, bonds, certificates of deposit, real estate, and, furthermore, other property types.
Anyone who signed an I-864A affidavit may also use their assets to meet income requirements. To qualify, the total cash value of assets, minus any liabilities, must exceed the required amount.
- If the intending immigrant is the spouse or child of a United States citizen, three times the difference between the sponsor’s household income and the Affidavit of Support Poverty Guideline for the sponsor’s household size.
- If the intending immigrant is an orphan to be adopted in the U.S., calculate financial eligibility. Compare the sponsor’s household income to the Federal poverty line for their household size.
- In other cases, multiply the difference between household income and the Federal poverty line by five. Adjust this amount according to the sponsor’s household size.
