Ok... looking over last year - the combination of my family investment property and my personal income is well over the poverty level. I assume since both are in my tac return I can count both... right?

sorry... one more thing I also live with and take care of my elderly father. I don't pay for rent or food... most of the time. I live here for free and cook for him... etc. My life is so complicated

Thank you everyone for answering. It's great to know all these things before the interview. I'm little concerned. Would it be a problem if we got married during my first visit? Does anyone know a case like that?

To Ralph: in the foreseeable future, 90 days after her arrival, will you be making enough money to support her? Will you have a steady income to support yourself and her? If you say yes, then it's fine! The financial support piece of this process is to make sure SHE won't get on welfare once she gets here, if she does, you will be liable!

Huanyen: It happens! Say, if you always knew her way back when..., just waited to be old enough to get married... then on your first chance coming back to the motherland, you marry your dream girl! It happens!

On the other hand, you never knew her before, it's an arranged marriage, you return to VN to marry a girl as a favor to her family (of course, we won't tell the C.O. that). Then the C.O. would raise the redflag and review the case further! It happens!

Or, a friend of an uncle introduce her to you, you want to marry her, love at first sight. It happens!

Any of these scenarios would usually raise redflags! Expect a tough fight @ HCMC. IMHO!

Good deal... thanks for the info. No chance either of us will need government assistance.. if she was here now or 90 after she gets here. Thanks again.

If that were the case they could find out you're lying and give her either a 3 or 10 year ban!!!!!! That happens too.
