I-864: Joint Sponsor vs Gifted Assets?

(CR1 from Canada, moved to NVC last week)

My potential joint sponsor is hesitant around possible lifetime commitment to the government and is instead considering gifting me enough assets that I could stand on my own. I have dug through the sub for some specifics on this, but my main questions are:

  1. Will this seem shady? Or is my money is my money and USCIS/NVC won’t care how I got it (legally)?

  2. Could I transfer this sponsor my money back once we’re approved or will that mess us up at the ROC stage? The only reason I don’t make enough now is bc I’ve been in grad school so I anticipate making enough in the coming years (starting with 2021).

  3. Am I correct that I would need 3x the difference between my most recent annual income and that 125% poverty level amount (21,500 ish?) in order for it to work?

  4. If we go this route, should I look into a lawyer just to make sure everything looks good? Joint sponsor is also willing to fund this.

NVC Case FE Review note

Hi everyone, my family and I are under the F3 category and we just received a notice from NVC that our documents have been approved and that we are Documentarily Qualified.

The consular officer will make a decision regarding this requirement at the time of the interview. For more information, please visit https://www.uscis.gov/i-864p . To avoid delays, an additional Affidavit of Support Form I-864 for a joint sponsor may be submitted." ​ We already have a petitioner and a household sponsor (the household sponsor's income is above the required level), but still unsure why we received this. Has anyone else received this message? All of our documents say "Approved" on NVC. Does this mean we have to find another sponsor? Can we show the consular officer our ...

DS-260 Have you ever attended any educational institutions at a secondary level or above?

Ok so I’m not sure what to put down here, I have a high school diploma and currently attending college! So for the occupation part for a previous question I put down the school I go to and address, however I am uncertain what to put down here, I put my high school start and end date but do I also include the college? Because it says highest level of education COMPLETED but also in the drop down menu there is an option that says UNIVERSITY,NO DEGREE which if I do choose then I will have to fill out the school information and then a start date and an end date which I still do not know this is the only question I’m struggling will and have looked into it but no straightforward answer! I hope you guys can help submitted by /u/AlarmingUmpire3 [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/immigration/comments/j2eni9/ds260_have_you_ever_attended_any_educational/
