  1. We got our answer from the GZO consulate. My wife just called to tell me that a guangzhou VO had just called to let her know that my wife's property & funds are of little value when considering her as a joint sponsor. The VO would make the final determination at the time of the interview, but the sponsor & joint sponsor residing in the U.S.A. was GZO's primary concern.

     

    Just passing along what I hope is good info to you guys. Steve

  2. Shenzhen & dnoblett, I can't say thanks enough to you both. dnoblett, you're right, it has been a tricky one. Although the instructions seem straight forward, sometimes I still mistake the meanings or context for which they were meant (Us Texans can be that way ya know? No offense Randy) I've read the 864 & 864A instruction a few times & went with which one I thought was best.

    For what it's worth, her retirement income amounts to little in US $$. It's her property value that we hope will make the difference.

     

    Something I've heard that may interest you. Guangzhou has only recently started accepting the intending immigrant's assets as a means of support. Exactly what they will accept remains to be seen. I will be sure to let you both know what Guangzhou tells my wife. Again, this is what my wife is hearing from sources "in the know" from Guangzhou. Thanks again for your help. I hope I can repay you guys with some good info from GZO soon. Steve

  3. Considered rescheduling the interview? I would think this would be better than having GUZ drop a "blue" on you.

     

     

    Note I-864A is only for use by a household member of sponsor or joint sponsor. If joint sponsor is NOT a household member, the joint provides an I-864. Typically household member means Spouse, Children, or other dependents.

     

    Thanks for that. The way I read the 864A is that it's completed by household member. The intending immigrant can be considered a household member as long as they're the spouse. If I'm wrong on this I would be very gratefull if someone would correct me.

  4. If they ask what you do for a living, she can tell them without any issue. If they want to know who you work for (unlikely), she might answer with who you DID work for, "but he is between jobs now" - it's more likely that they're checking her knowledge of you than running an employment check.

     

    Have her be prepared, answer truthfully exactly what they ask, and be comfortable with the answer.

     

    She'll most likely get through okay.

    Thanks Randy, another Texas boy too, I see. I just hope a Beijinger can get along with the heat.

  5. It could come up if the VO asks her what your job is. She will need to answer "unemployed just recently." Then she should tell the VO about your last job. JMO.

     

     

    Exactly! After pondering that scenario, we both envisioned the V.O. having the blue paper filled out before she had time to finish her sentence. You don't fly the whale, do ya?

  6. Haven't you already submitted an I-864? It would have been true and complete at the time you submitted it, no?

     

    Are they asking for another one?

     

     

    We weren't sure what to do on that one. We already filed an AOS I-864 a month prior but didn't want to risk omitting information to them. That would be a really bad thing. To answer your question, no, they didn't ask for another one.

  7. Considered rescheduling the interview? I would think this would be better than having GUZ drop a "blue" on you.

     

    What is the problem -- either you have 125% (hopefully more) of the poverty line or you have a co-sponser?

     

    Thanks for the quick reply, I just lost my job this month. My hope is that we could find a joint sponsor, or even better, a job soon. I don't know how things work there but thought it would be possible to send in a new AOS after I'm working or have a sponsor. When we send in a new AOS, I'm wondering if my wife will need to return to Guangzhou. We both hate being this close & having to postpone. She has a lot of assests we're trying to use on her new I-864A but not sure if Guangzhou will look favorable on this. So we're going to "chance" that they'll accept her assets.

  8. My wife & I just received our P4 for an interview date of May 4th. With the letter came some instructions. These instructions ask us to bring the correspondence instructions, immigrant visa application & a host of other stuff. I don't know what these corresponence instructions nor immigrant visa application are. I asked my attorney, she didn't know either. Can anyone here shed some light? Thanks in advance for any help, Steve
