Affidavit of Support / Beneficiary's Income?

[Obama 2012 1,714]

Does the income/credit worthiness of the beneficiary matter in a K1 case, or is it just the petitioners income that matters?

Let's say the beneficiary needs to file for bankruptcy in his/her home country. Will this affect the process at all?

No - not in any way would credit worthiness (or unworthiness as it were) have an affect on the process.

Credit worthiness per se has no role in whether a K-1 is approved or denied. BUT, income level could determine whether or not the consulate actually reviews the petitioner's I-134/I-864. All this depends on the consulate, but since the K-1 is a non-immigrant visa, some consulates actually review ALL the documentation normally submitted with the DS-156, including financial information.

The good part is, you should be prepared with your affidavit of support anyway, so you should not worry yourself about whether or not the consulate will care about your SO's credit/income. As soon as you give the I-134/I-864 the $$ issue will disappear for the consulate. Check the regional forum to find out exactly what the specific Canadian consulate will request.

No, benificary income/credit does not matter, just the petitioner's does. Good luck.

Some debt situations in some countries (including the USA) can temporarily invalidate passports. Other than that, the beneficiary's finances don't figure into the issue of a K1 visa.
