I have just a quick question, and I apologize if this has been asked before...

In order to have the fiance visa (K1) approved, does the foreign fiance have to be currently employed? What job/employment/financial requirements does the invited fiance need to have?

Any and all advise is much appreciated!

Thanks!

As of:


June 26, 2012 - The Hubbs received his 10-year Permanent Residency Card (aka THE Greencard) in the mail today!




At long last, this highly stressful leg of our journey has come to a close - for now - and we couldn't be more grateful and appreciative for all the tremendous help and support here on VJ! Without VisaJourney I doubt we would be where my husband and I are today! Thanks to all!

Yes, that's true. Doesn't matter is the fiance in the foreign country is employed or not.

Life's just a crazy ride on a run away train

So make it count, hold on tight find a way to make it right

You only get one trip

So make it good, make it last 'cause it all flies by so fast

You only get one trip

To answer your question, no the foreign fiance does not need to be employed.

It is on the US fiance to prove and provide support. (affidavit of support form I-134...this comes into play later when the petition is sent to the US embassy in the foreign fiance's country after USCIS approves it).

3/5/11 sent LOC paperwork

It doesn't matter if you or the beneficiary work or not as long as you can prove adequate funds at interview time. If you do not have have that, you will need a co- sponsor. They want to see if you can meet or exceed the poverty level guidelines and support the beneficiary without having him / her become a public charge.

Don't just open your mouth and prove yourself a fool....put it in writing.

It gets harder the more you know. Because the more you find out, the uglier everything seems.

That's right! The petitioner has to follow poverty guidelines to find out if he/she needs to a co-sponsor or not. If your household is going to be only two people (husband and wife,) your annual income has to be $17,112 or more. A beneficiary, on the other hand, does not need to work and is not asked to show his/her income. (I'm not working now and haven't been working for a year - I'm a beneficiary; our I-129F petition was approved last week and I'm waiting for my visa interview in Ukraine now.)

So, these guidelines are for 2007. I don't think they've publish a new doc for 2008.

At this point, 100% no. Financial responsible is all on the USC. Now later in the game, it can change, if you want. The beneficiary's employment and income can be used as part of the 125% income requirement when you get to AOS.

Hmmm... good point! Thanks!

My fiance does have a job presently (don't worry---I'm not really into marrying unemployed slacker guys from overseas! Lol :)))) ), however, due to some circumstances w/ the company he works for, he wants to quit and find new work. Therefore, it probably would be simpler to just to write it in as "unemployed" ...(???)

At this point, 100% no. Financial responsible is all on the USC. Now later in the game, it can change, if you want. The beneficiary's employment and income can be used as part of the 125% income requirement when you get to AOS.

Right... As everyone else has stated, the financial aspect is all on the citizen's shoulders.. Quite a burden, especially if the immigrant is female and loves shoes...
