K1 Affidavit of support!!

[amyandrob 0]

Hello all I have a specific question about the affidavit of support. I am the USC and I currently cannot support my UK Fiance 125% above the poverty line, I know I could use a co-sponsor, problem is my immediate family doesn't qualify either. However my fiance has a large amount of funds that are readily available. Would USCIS accept that as adequate proof of support?. Please any information on this would help calm my mind alot. This is the only thing we have worried about, his k1 interview is Tuesday and we are both a bit shaken. We know we can provide proof of our relationship and we are legit it would just help to have some information on this paticular area?

thank you so much

hi, i believe that the only way his salary can be included in the affidavit, he'd have to continue with the same job once he is allowed in the United states.

Unfortunately for you, London really only cares about the Affidavit of Support. They won't look at proof of or discuss your relationship other than a couple of standard questions like "how did you meet?". Did you send an I-134 and proof of your income? For a K1 visa, it's only 100% of the poverty level. A joint sponsor doesn't have to be a relative. London will also allow the beneficiary to self sponsor if he can take good evidence of his funds. there is no set amount, so I can't advise on what they will accept. Please let us know if he does get approved on his funds and how much if that's not too cheeky to ask. It would be helpful to hear an actual amount that was enough.

You bigger problem will be just around the corner when he adjusts status in the US to get his greencard. That requires another Affidavit of Support (I-864) at the 125% level. If you happen to live in the same house with an immediate relative you can pool your monies/incomes. Or you can try to find a non-relative, but they have to make enough to cover their household plus your husband....the whole sum, not added to yours.

The money he has isn't from a job it is from an inheritance. I didn't fill out an I-134 with our petition or his packet 3 we sent his bank statements and a letter from his bank. No worries not cheeky we are here to help eachother. I read some where that he has to be able to prove 125% and mutiply that by three but I've only seen it once and don't know how true it is. So I figured 18,400x3 is 55,200 and he has almost 4 times that when converted into dollars. Thanks for the feedback I guess we will know Tuesday for sure. I know everyone here has either been through it or is currently going through the same thing its just nice to have someone reply and know your not alone. So thank you again for taking the time to write back.

No worries. That amount of cash will do easily. Your math figures are the basic I-864 rules when using assets for AOS and are published. The self-sponsoring for London K1 isn't a printed figure. I've heard of people from years back getting by on less than $10k. But I haven seen any figures given in the last three years. When you said "large amount of funds" I wasn't sure because some people consider $5,000 a large amount. For AOS, get a joint bank account and get enough money transferred into it (into your pot so to speak) so you can qualify on assets.

Please update us to let us fellow VJers know if it was acceptable or not. I'm hoping to qualify for self-sponsoring on considerable less than 4 times over what is required but it is definitely useful to hear others experiences!! Good luck!

Just read a new interview review where $40,000 was accepted from a petitioner with no US job.

True. That was my interview. I had also taken an I-134 prepared by her father though who qualified by income though, not that they wanted it.

They had a cursory glance through the bank statements provided with the I-134 and then just put it into the file.

We were approved!! My fiance said the actual interview was only three minutes they asked a few questions how we met? How much time have we spent together? and nothing else. Awww so happy. He said they didn't even look at any of the stuff he brought.

Congrats on your visa!! That's good to know it really looks like for the K-1 they just want to see something. We are hoping to get through on $56 K which is enough to get us through AOS but not enough to satisfy the initial 100% x 5. Fingers crossed!!
