Today we received the "Request For Envidence" letter for my mom's I485. It now asked us to answer Q62-68 which was bypassed by filing with old I485 Dec 2022 form version.
I sponsed my mom's GC application with the I864 from my cousion, and she is in her 80s.
I am a bit confused with a few questions needed to be clarified, really appreciate your helps.
Q62: What is your household size?
How to answer this? My mom is only applying GC for herself, are my siblings and myself still be counted as part of her household or just my mom herself? My mom lives with me now, but not other siblings.
-Put "1". If your father passed away already, your mom's household member is only herself.
Q63: Indicate your annual household income:
[ ] $0-$27,000 [ ] $27001-$52,000 [ ] $52,001-$85,000 [ ] $85,001-$141,000 [ ] Over $141,000
My mom is a retiree with about $1k monthly income, will these be looked as too little? Will this create uncertainties?
-Just put her retirement benefit income there no matter how much (convert it to US dollar amount). Because you have filed I-864, your mom low income does not matter.
Q64. Identify the total value of your household assets: [ ] $0-$18,400 [ ] $18,001-$136,000 [ ] $136,001-$321,400 [ ] $321,401- $707,100 [ ] Over $707,100
The first bracket is what my mom has, then again, similar concerns as Q63.
-Put the actual value there. It does not matter.
Q65. Identify the total value of your household liabilities (including both secured and unsecured liabilities) [ ] $0 [ ] $1-$10,100 [ ] $10,101-$57,700 [ ] $57,701- $186,800 [ ] Over $186,8001
My mom doesn;t have any debts, anything else could be considered as value of liabilities?
-Then, choose "0".
Q66. What is the highest degree or level of school you have completed? [ ] Grades 1 through 11 [ ] 12th grade - no diploma [ ] High school diploma, GED, or alternative credential [ ] 1 or more years of college credit, no degree [ ] Associate's degree [ x] Bachelor's degree [ ] Master's degree [ ] Professional degree (JD, MD, DMD, etc.) [ ] Doctorate degree
-Then, choose the education degree your mom has.
Q67. List your certifications, licenses, skills obtained through work experience, and educational certificates:
The only certificate my mom has is her BS degree certificate, do we need to send in the copy of it or just list out. How much details we need to list, to write down "BS obtained on 07/1981 from xxx" is enough? or we actually dont need to answer it at all.
-Just list the degree name, time the degree obtained and the name of the University which issued the degree, e.g., "Bachelor Degree from Beijing University, Bejing, China, in July 1981". Do not need to provide the copy of the degree certificate.
As the notice said we only have this one chance to submit the envidences, we certainly dont want to get anything wrong, hence seeking your help, really thankful and appreciated as always!
