Income Requirement.. Question

[Chris-n-Veronica 0]

Hi

Ok With my current job I make almost double the $16500.00 requirement.. but I didn't start working this year until the end of March..and I just got my W2's and I made $16400.43 Do you think the Less then $100 Difference would make a big difference if I included pay stubs...proving I make well over the amount and also include a explanation letter on why I didn't make over the $16400.00 ...(I was in school till March) plus of course a Employment Letter stating it's a permanent job and my wages...

God I can't beleive my W2's said $16400.43

I don't know that much about the consulate you will go through.

The I-134 has no set rule for income. All the instructions say is 'adequate'.

Most consulates use the poverty guideline itself, not 125% as used when filing I-864.

Which in your case is $13,200.00.

I am puzzled as to why your income figure is that low if you worked 9 months of the year with this new job.

Ahhh the first job I had till Aug... was low in pay... and I took a month off total to go to Moldova.. This current Job pays over $30,000 per year..

I think for two people it's $16500.00 125% level

[rebeccajo 14]

Does the I-134 ask for 125% poverty level?

Well you know it's a gray area... but they usually go by the I-864 requirements..

Dear Mr. Dayhoff:

At the time of her visa interview, your fiancée will have to present from you financial documents showing that you are able to support her in the U.S. You may send proof of your current employment, a recent bank statement, an affidavit of support, Form I-134. In adjudicating fiancée visa cases, we use the 100% of the Poverty Guidelines that is for a family of two individuals the annual income for 2005 should be $ 13,200.

We hope this information is helpful to you.

Eh, even if it had been the requirement, you could have made that up easily with a few hundred bucks in the bank.

Chris-n-Veronica,

It's your current income that is of primary importance, which should be substantiated with recent pay statements and a letter from your employer.

I know its a few weeks late and you have probably already resolved th problem but to be more specific I actually asked the embassy here in Buchurest because I'm a Peace Corps Volunteer so my income definitely wont cover it. Anyhow what they look for is if you dont meet the 125% minimum poverty level is that you have 3 times whatever amount it is that lack. For instance if you are missing the level by 10k U will need to have 30k in the bank.

In your case you will need to have 300 USD in the bank.

They had a set rule for me, and the I-134 is 100% of poverty line, I-864 is 125%.
