I-864 form

[Boringwaiting]

I'm choosing I-864 form to help my daughter in law. My son got his visa two years ago, he hasn't worked in U.S yet. I am the only one financial sponsor. My income meets the requirement. I wonder which form should I fill out. Please help, thanks !

Since son is the petitioner (He filed the I-130 for his spouse) he will provide an I-864 as primary sponsor, and you will also provide an I-864 as Joint sponsor.

 

So two I-864 forms will be provided.

Since he never worked in U.S. , he has no asset either , in the form 1-864 part 6 and part 7 will be empty. Is that ok? Does he need write a statement or explanation ?

Part 6 #2 asks about his current (i.e. right now) income, i.e. the current salary of his current job. If he is currently unemployed, this would be 0. He won't be using the income of any household members (Part 6 #3-14), so his current household income (Part 6 #15) will also be 0.

 

Part 6 #19a-c asks for the number from the "total income" line from his federal tax returns from the last 3 years. A US citizen or permanent resident is subject to US tax on their worldwide income no matter where they live. The only legitimate reason for him to not need to file a US tax return is if his income that year was below the minimum threshold for needing to file. This threshold can be found in the relevant year's Form 1040 instructions, in a section near the beginning called Do You Have to File?. If he didn't file for some or all of those 3 years because his income was below the threshold, then per the I-864 instructions, he would put "N/A" for the blank for total income for those years, and then attach a statement stating why he was not required to file (citing the threshold for each relevant year and stating his income and that it was below the threshold).

 

He will not be using assets so Part 7 should be blank.
