Affidavit of Support- going back to school, help!

[davidandsarah 0]

Hi All-

I see several posts regarding the affidavit of support, however none seem to apply to my situation.

I currently meet the income requirements for the affidavit of support without issue. However... I was just accepted to attend grad school this fall. We recently submitted our I-129F recently and are obviously still waiting.

I know he needs my income stuff for the interview- do you think we can bank on having the interview by July-ish...before I quit my job/start school? (He'll be interviewing at the London consulate.) Say best case scenario we're able to have his interview completed before I start graduate school (and before I give my 2 weeks notice to work)- will they follow up to see if I am still earning the required amount after the interview? If I get financial aid/scholarships/grants, can those count as a part of my income? What about a graduate assistantship?

I know I can ask my parents to also complete affidavits of support, but I'd strongly prefer not to. I'd probably go to school part time or defer for a year before asking my parents to do that.

Any thoughts would be extremely helpful!

Thank you!!!

Even if the interview date is in September, you can still execute a factual I-134 in July. There's a good chance the interview will be before July anyway.
