Preparing financial support proves for K1 interview

[andana_dj 0]

Hi there,

I have the K1 interview at the beginning of march, and putting all documents together now.

For financial support papers we got just a letter from employer with his income (triple above the poverty line), and 2 years tax returns........ also the I-134 of course.

He just recently got off school and that is why he couldn't get a 3 year tax return transcript.....also no pay stubs yet...cause he started the official work just couple months......

Do you think it will be enough proves that he actually has a great salary for 2 of us???

Please advise

Stop after first pargraph.

Triple the poverty line. You pass. But why no check stubs after 2 months? You need to prove this income with more than JUST a letter. You do not need transcripts at all, ever, where this comes from I do not know. You do not need three years tax returns, where this comes from I do not know. You need ONE year tax retruns with w-2s and/or 1099s OR a transcript which does not require attaching w-2s and/or 1099s.

His salary sounds great but he needs to PROVE it. The employment letter gives an indicagtion that the job is permanent and the income is more or less secure. Check stubs show he really makes the money. You need both. I know in Moldova (and Ukraine) things are different and pay is not so reliable, but here in the USA I cannot imagine a job at which one works and does not receive pay after a "couple of months". Most people are paid weekly, twice a month, or monthly. Get those check stubs!

Triple above the poverty line...great! But when my fiancee talked to the US embassy, they told her that she did NEED 3 year tax transcripts. If all you can get is 2, then 2 is all you will have. The letter from the employer does state how much his salery is and this is good enough. Also the extra proof that you need for income is the official letter from his bank about his previous years deposits. I bank with Bank of America and they knew what I needed and ordered it. Cost about $20. At no time did I ever need to provide any "pay stubs"to the US embassy. Although it would help I am sure. The more proof the better, but it was not requested. Good luck!
