Affidavit of support worries

[garnet80 1]

Hello,

I am only at the very start of my K-1 journey, sending in the first packet in a few weeks.

Was thinking about the affidavit of support though.

I don't make enough to sponsor my fiance. Not even close.

After my separation / divorce from my first marriage I am now living with my mother to save money.

Right now, she makes around 30k a year, give or take. I know that right NOW that would be enough for her to be co-sponsor. But it will be several months before I need the affidavit... poverty limits will likely go up right? And her wages will not. We only have our paid off cars, and are just ten years into her mortgage.

I suppose my income can't be counted with hers. I really have no one else that could do this. I am wondering if I am out of luck.

I will still try... I'm just worried that we are going to be putting all of this money into this, and then at the very end, be out of options. :l

Moving this question to the Consular Forum, where the issue applies.

Garnet -

The POV guidelines are adjusted annually, but only by a few hundred dollars. There is no need to worry about them taking a great leap.

I was in a similar situation as yourself from just getting out of paying my way through school. Your mothers salary is more than enough to co-sponsor for your fiancee.
