Will this be an issue on getting health insurance out in the states?

No. Full stop.

It was a very interesting read and went all the way back to birth which will help with showing vaccinations etc.

Also, it says on there I had Asthma as a child but I haven't had an inhaler for years and can't remember the last time I had any problem with it.

I still have asthma and still use an inhaler occasionally. It wasn't an issue at the medical (the chest X-ray is what they're going to be looking at). Neither is it an issue here in the US for the insurance. Don't worry about it.

How odd, considering it's completely un-noteworthy! :)

Wow very fancy I got a thick wedge of scanned paperwork! Certainly did make interesting reading, I never realized I got in so many scrapes, and sustained injuries, but then the haze of alcohol numbed them away at the time!

You might want to start getting into the habit of using US format for dates.

Re: Here we are again.

Haha, none of those for me, just a broken ankle from athletics when I was about 13.

I have a question about the I864 for people who know it well.

We are going to use the asset of the equity in our house. The form seems to cater to having another person support so i'm finding it difficult to navigate the form and fill out the relevant sections without leaving anything out.

Has anyone filled it out specifically just with assets, do you have any advice or tips.

Thanks as always

Chris

Unless you're the USC, you shouldn't be filling it out at all.

Can you be more specific about the sections you're having difficulty with? The form seems pretty straight forward. If you're using income, provide income information. If you're using assets, provide asset information.

I think its more the confusion maybe that no one is sponsoring me to go there as my wife doesnt live there or earn money there.

Is she technically the sponsor and when they ask all the questions about employer and income etc just leave that blank and only fill in the bit about assets?

Re: Here we are again.

Someone is sponsoring you...your wife.

The assets are hers, too, and that's what she's using to sponsor you.

If she is working and earning income, put that in the income section. If she's not earning any income, it will be zero. Put the property information in the asset section.

Thanks for the clarification. Because we live here in the UK and will be giving up her job when we move should I put that she wont have any income? We are both living and working here full time at the moment but when we move we will both be starting out a fresh.

Thanks

Your wife is the USC spouse. She is your sponsor whether she qualifies financially or not.

Nor is she required to!

No. She is actually the sponsor.

If she has income, she must list it - regardless of whether it's used for financial sponsorship.

If she currently has income, it must be listed - regardless of whether it's used for financial sponsorship. It doesn't matter that she'll have no income in the US... that's why you're using assets to qualify.

No. She should just answer each question on the I-864 as it applies on the day she's filing it out.

Re: Here we are again.

Thanks for the replies ladies and gents.

I have another question.

I have been reading and seen people here sending off evidence of cohabitation when submitting i130. I didn't send and any proof of cohabiting like mortgage statements or bank statements etc as my wife has a UK Passport so we photocopied that as proof of UK residency but didn't see it say anyway about showing proof of cohabiting or anything.

Should I have?

Thanks as always
