I-134 portion of K-1

[zedbragirl 0]

So I have just stumbled upon this site today and I feel like I have learned more in one day than 2 years of general research. Unfortunately I think we're caught on the I-134. I am a full-time student, expecting to enter my field in about 2 years. My fiance already has a savings account prepped for coming over here, about $40,000. That is over 2 years 125% poverty line for 2 adults and I was thinking that should count for something even though I make little, around $8,000 or so per year (most of my income is not recorded as I'm a private tutor). Does anybody know about a large amount of money equivalent to the poverty line requirement that could substitute it?

Thanks for any suggestions! I'm very excited to (hopefully soon) start a K-1 timeline!

1) You have some options:

1a) You can ask someone to be a joint sponsor. The US Citizen (USC) can ask someone to file an additional I-134 to be responsible.

1b) If you download the instructions for I-864 from the USCIS web site, www.uscis.gov, you will see how they apply assets to replace income.

2) Roughly the formula is: For an alien fiance(e) you need five times the income shortfall in assets to make up that shortfall, but if you are an alien spouse, then the USC/couple only needs three times the difference in the 125% poverty line minus income to qualify.

PM me for more explanation. Better yet, download I-864 and I-864P from USCIS web site.

Good luck

See page 9 of the I-864.

29. Total Value of Assets.

In order to qualify based on the value of your assets, the totalvalue of your assets must equal at least five times thedifference between your total household income and thecurrent poverty guidelines for your household size. However,if you are a U.S. citizen and you are sponsoring your spouseor minor child, the total value of your assets must only beequal to at least three times the difference.
