enough income?

[dilosan 0]

Hey Everyone

I'm new here and my question is about income. My fiance's anual income is $19300 and she has savings for $15000, do you think that's enough for her to sponsor me? or will we need a co sponsor? thanks.

Isn't the 125 % poverty guideline for 2 people $18213?

Your numbers are low. The 2009 guidelines are on the USCIS website:

http://www.uscis.gov/files/form/I-864P.pdf

125% for two people is $18,212.

For a K-1 visa, the I-134 is usually required. Strictly speaking, the I-134 only requires 100% of the poverty level. However, the I-864 is used for AOS, and that requires 125% unless you're active duty military. As a consequence, many consulates also require the 125% level even with the I-134. It just depends on the consulate.

dilosan, you probably don't need a co-sponsor. However, being so close to the limit the consulate may want to see proof of continued earnings, like a few years of tax transcripts. Has she earned enough to clear the limits for the past few years?

[dilosan 0]

yes, I think she has. Do you think it would be a better idea if we find a co sponsor? I want this to be risk free

because your fiancee has $15,000 in savings, if you add that up with her work income, then she will have enough. how does her 3 prior years look like?

[dilosan 0]

2007: $15.900

2008: $17.900

2009: $19.300

hopefully her savings will increase. will that help?

yes, I think she has. Do you think it would be a better idea if we find a co sponsor? I want this to be risk free

Moving this to consulate/embassy forum.

I-134 is needed at the time of visa interview, not when filing an I-129F

[dilosan 0]

So should I find a co sponsor or I'm fine with my fiance sponsoring me?

I think you're ok. Your fiancee meets the minimum with a little margin to spare, and her income has increased steadily for the past 3 years. I'm impressed that she managed to save up the equivalent of nearly a full years income. Most people couldn't do that even if they lived with their parents and had no expenses.
