Part 5: Sponsor’s Household Size
When filling out Form I-864, the Sponsor’s Household Size is a key factor to consider. This household size includes the Sponsor, the sponsored immigrant, as well as any dependents of the Sponsor. If the Sponsor is married, the Sponsor’s spouse must also be included in the household size. In addition, all individuals who will be immigrating to the US as part of the sponsored immigrant must also be included in the household size.
It is important to note that dependents are defined as children under 21 years of age, or older children who are financially dependent on the Sponsor. If a person is a legal dependent of the Sponsor claimed on the federal tax return, he or she should be included in the household size. By taking the time to properly complete Form I-864 and accurately calculate the Sponsor’s Household Size, the Sponsor can ensure that their application is correctly submitted and quickly reviewed.
Part 6: Sponsor’s Employment and Income
Filling out Form I-864 can seem like a daunting task, but with the right information and a few tips, you can make the process much easier.
Part 6 of the form is where you, as the Sponsor, provide your current employment and income information. You must complete all fields of Part 6; this includes providing evidence of employment and income from the last three consecutive years. If you are self-employed, you must provide evidence of your company ownership and a letter from CPA. If your income is from a pension, you must provide evidence of your pension account statement. Additionally, if you are unemployed, you must provide evidence of other financial resources.
When it comes to providing evidence of income, you must provide evidence of any other sources of income, such as Social Security, investments, or other benefits. You must also provide evidence of any other individuals who are contributing to your household income. Finally, you must provide evidence of your assets, such as bank statements, investments, or real estate.
By gathering all of the necessary documents and information, you can make sure that Part 6 of the Form I-864 is completed accurately and correctly. Doing so will make the entire process much smoother and ensure that your application is accepted.
Part 7: Use of Assets to Supplement Income
Part 7 of the form requires sponsors to provide proof that their assets can supplement their income and reach the poverty level guidelines. If you are the sponsor of an individual immigrating to the United States, here are the steps you should follow when filling out Part 7 of the form.
First, you will need to provide information about all of your assets, including cash, bank accounts, real estate, stocks, bonds, and other investments. You will need to provide documents to validate the value of each asset, such as bank statements, proof of ownership, and appraisals. You should also specify how much of each asset is available, and how much will be used for support.
Next, you will need to calculate the total value of all your assets. This amount should be included in the total income listed in Part 6. You should also include a statement of intent to use assets to supplement income.
Finally, you will need to sign and date Form I-864 and include it as part of the sponsorship package when submitting it to the USCIS. By following these steps, you can ensure that your Form I-864 is filled out correctly.
Part 8: Sponsor’s Contact Information, Certification, and Signature
The form I-864 requires the sponsor’s contact information, certification, and signature in order to submit it. The sponsor must provide their name, address, phone number, and email address in the “Sponsor’s Contact Information” section. This information is necessary for the sponsor to be contacted regarding the application. In the “Certification” section, the sponsor must certify that all the information they have provided is accurate and complete, as well as certify that they understand that any false statements they make can result in fines or imprisonment. This is an important section to read carefully.
The last step is to sign and date the form. By gathering the information necessary for Form I-864 and reading the instructions carefully, this form can be filled out quickly and accurately. Filling out the form correctly is an important step in the immigration process and should not be taken lightly.
Part 9: Interpreter’s Contact Information, Certification, and Signature
Part 9 of the form requires the interpreter’s contact information, certification, and signature. It’s important to make sure the interpreter has provided all the necessary information, including their full name, mailing address, telephone number, and email address. Additionally, the interpreter must sign the form and certify that they are fluent in both English and the language used by the sponsor. They must also include the date they signed the form, and must include a statement that the translation was made to the best of their abilities. If the interpreter is a professional, they must also include their credentials, such as a certification or license number. It’s important to ensure that the interpreter has included all the necessary information and certified the form, or the form may be rejected and you will have to start the process over.
