not meeting financial support requirement??

[GJen 9]

Hello everyone

So I have been reading all the requirements for the K1, so it said my fiance has to have an income above 125% poverty line? right? and that she would have to send them proof of a steady job and income, and taxes for the past three years, but the thing is that she just finished school last year so she's had a steady job only for a year now and she has never paid taxes before since she was in a school, She will pay taxes this coming January though. So my question is: Is that going to affect the whole process? she said she could send them a letter showing them that she was in a school for the past 2 years and that's why she didn't pay taxes but I'm not sure if that's gonna work. Do you think it'd be a better idea if we find a co-sponsor?

thanks for your help

Recent college graduates with current full time jobs usually have no problem qualifying. With a full year of the new job, he'll be fine. He needs no letter explaining he was in college, since he's already indicated that on the petition and G325a.

Many Embassies will require only 1 years tax return although some do still ask for 3.

It's very likely that they will care only about the income she is making now and proof that the income she is making will continue. She can do this with paystubs and with a letter from her employer. Explaining that she was in school at the time is easy enough to do on the forms themselves and, if needed, with a letter along with the affidavit.

If there is any question about her income then it's possible that a co-sponsor could be used.

Since your timeline is not filled in I have no idea how close you are to your interview. But if you're just starting the process, the interview is a way off and she will have several months by the time you need this proof anyway.

good luck
