i134 Question Parents support

[xjasperstudentx 0]

Hello, my pay is less than the federal poverty guidelines. I live with my parents, so my parents supports me. I do have a job but its a low paying job. I or my family has never been on welfare or and public charge. How do i go about answering the federal guidelines. There are 4 people living in the household so the minimum is $23,550. I don't make that much per year. Will I be approved? How can i add my parents that they too can support my fiancee. Please help. Thanks.

Everyone you live with is not necessarily in your household count.

How to count household size >

Your household size includes yourself and the following individuals, no matter where they live: any spouse, any dependent children under the age of 21, any other dependents listed on your most recent Federal income tax return, all persons being sponsored in this affidavit of support, and any immigrants previously sponsored with a Form I-864 or Form I-864 EZ

If you do not claim your parents as dependents, then they are not included on your I-134 and in your household size. Do you make enough for just yourself and your fiance(e)?

Your dependents are only those listed on your tax return, not how many people are living under one roof.

For you and your fiancee it would be two and the income requirement is $19,662. If you income does not meet the poverty guidelines you can try using a co-sponsor but the embassy does not always accept a co-sponsor with the K-1 visa, you may only have a 50/50 chance of being approved using a co-sponsor.
