Hi all,

Im planning to apply for k1 next year for my fiance. Right now Im working and this year I am sure that I will make about 20,000, I know this will be enough and above poverty. But I am concern that if I apply next year probably ill start in March, I can only show 2009 tax income for next year because this year 2009, i will be above poverty. But during 2007,08 I dont work that much and did not file any tax if I have money in the bank like about 7,000 plus 2009 tax and letter from employer, will that be good to start filing for next year. Please people who are expert or been through this process please help me out. If this doesnt work out than will I have to work 3 whole year to be above poverty to sponsor him, and also i cannot find anyone to help co-sponsor so this is y i am asking ur help. thanks a lot

Stop worrying. They go by CURRENT GROSS income first. If your 2008 return shows you made $123.57 and you got a job paying $65,000 per year on January 3 of this year, your CURRENT income, today, in March 2009, is $65,000. Verify it with employment letter and check stubs and you are good to go. Likely they will not even look at the tax returns.
