I just received the I-134 and 1040 etc from my Fiance.

I just want to clarify what amount is used or looked at from the 1040 for the Affidavit of Support amount at the Embassy?

Any help with this would be great!

Thank you.

If the sponsor is self employed then the income amount on line 22 of the most recent year's tax return is the number. If the sponsor is a wage/salary earner then current and continuing income is what is used. This is typically documented with an employer letter and recent paystubs.

Thank you!

Line 22 has an amount higher than the poverty line - so that's GREAT!

Because he is self employed, he sent me a letter from the person he does work for (he's like a sub contractor) and then he sent me copies of his last two cheques he received - because he does not have paystubs being a self employed person... will this be okay?

If he is self employed then line 22 is the magic number. The letter and checks can't hurt, but aren't typically needed for a self employed sponsor.

Is there any idea of how long after the interview before you get the visa and can travel?

According to one webpage I saw with info about the JHB cousulate; it stated "same day visa issued = yes".

Upon a successful interview, does the beneficiary get the visa THE SAME DAY as the interview there in JHB?

Thanks!

I got the answer... same-day approval, YES. Same day visa issueance, NO. It takes 3-4 working days to issue the visa if it is approved.
