I am a U.S. citizen who would like to petition a
for my fiance who is a Venezuelan National.

For the K1 Fiance Visa: I, being the U.S. citizen, am the
petitioner
. I will fill out the
I-129F
packet and send it off to
USCIS
, then wait to hear back from then. Once we have an interview scheduled, I will need to submit a
I-134
in which I, the sponsor, will be required to have a yearly income that meets the requirement of
100%
above the poverty line for a one
1 person household
.

Once we are married
, we will file for
Adustment of Status
, in which case, my husband and my
combined income
will need to meet
125%
of a
2 person household
.

Is this correct?!

Thank you for all your help!!

I believe what you stated is correct except the part about being 100% at the poverty line when submitting I-134. My belief is that one is required to be 125% of the poverty line: $17,500 for two people, petitioner and beneficiary

Anyone interpret this differently?

Don't we also have to send the G-325-A with the petition?

No, it is not correct. Errors listed in order below.

1. You do not "submit" an I-134. You send it with supporting documents to the foreign fiance(e) who hands it over if and when asked for it by a Consular officer.

2. The Consular officer may use the information with the affidavit to judge the likelyhood the beneficiary will become a public charge. They may use any criteria they wish and are not required to judge based on a specific percentage of the poverty line.

3. The household size includes a minimum of two, the petitioner and intending immigrant(s) along with any additional household members.

4. For adjustment of status, the sponsor must meet a minimum of 125% of the poverty level for the applicable household size. Generally, the immigrant isn't working at the time the I-864 is submitted but if they have income or assets to contribute to the picture, they can be considered.

Is the 125% for both the interview/K1 stage and the AOS stage? I got a little confused there.

What passes muster for the visa interview varies widely by Consulate. London is one of the easiest and commonly 100% is accepted. For AOS it's 125%.

That's a massive relief. (Not to say I'll rely on the 100% figure - better safe than sorry)

Thanks :)

your best bet is to make the 125% JUST in case if you have to take on a small part time job like i did after all you will need to make that after you are married anyway. Try not to make the MINIMUM requirement because even if it says 125% is 17, 500 making a lil more is better

PS pushbark is correct:)
