K1 advice please

[Bradan 1]

Hello everyone. thanks for reading. I want to file K1 for my gf to come to the US from VN. but I got one big problem that is I'm currently a full time college student WITH NO job yet. I will earn my B.S degree this december. I know when we file k1 we have to provide 3 yrs of tax return which I don't have any. so is that mean I have to wait till I got a job and 3 yrs later send out K1 application ? any advice what I have to do. really appreciated. Have a nice day everyone.

You provide income data at the time of VISA interview, NOT when you file the I-129F.

It takes several months from I-129F filing to Visa interview, your income situation will change during that period, and you should also be able to use a Joint-Sponsor for K-1 interview.

Thanks for reply YuAndYan. what about the tax return that they required. and i see on the G-325A they ask for employment information. if my sister Sponsor for me do they require me to have a job. or it can be all on my sister. thanks. please give me advice on how to do this. thanks alot everyone.

Last I looked, it is only the last TAX return, not 3 years worth any more.

I am in the same situation. I'm in medical school, so obviously I can't work. We used my mother, showed proof of her making over the 125% poverty line (K1, and now for AOS as well) and have had no problems. I had worked a bit during the summer etc, so I submitted those, but my mom's info was what we primarily used. You both need to fill in the financial info sheets etc. You just provide as much info as you can. There are lots of students on here and we haven't had too many problems with co-sponsors. You absolutely DON'T have to have a job as long as you can show a cosponsor willing to sign the forms that makes enough.

In order to file the I-129F you don't need to provide financial information (other than the check for 455.00$ ). Like YuAndDan said, the sponsorship stuff isn't until the interview much later in the process.

If your sister can sponsor you, you do not need to have a job. You just need to prove that if your fiance was allowed to enter the U.S., s/he would not become a burden of the state. As to the tax returns... if you read the instructions on the I-134 form, it doesn't require you to send in the last 3 years tax returns. I-134, Affidavit of Support (.pdf)

Good Luck!
