Income/Financial Affidavit

[P&L 0]

I receive a substantial amount of child support every month (above the 125% poverty line), and I pretty much live on this for now. Child support does not need to be filed with the IRS. I have been a full time student for the last few years, and therefore, do not have any tax documents. However, I sent my fiance a letter from my bank, stating all of my deposits for the last year, and also my current balance. I'm wondering if this is sufficient evidence of income. Any advice is appreciated.

you should send a statement explaining why you legally did not have to file taxes. Also, you should provide the court order for child support along with the statements showing those deposits to back up the income you are claiming. You need to prove that the child support will be continuing for quite a few years in order to be used to support your fiance/future spouse once they are in the US.

You might want to get a co-sponsor lined up, just in case they do not accept the child support as your sole income.

I do not have any child-support statements, but I receive an allotment every month, that is all. My ex is in the military, and so I typed a letter to the embassy to go along with the letter from my bank, saying that the child support is enforced by my ex's commanding officer. Also, I don't understand why they don't take in to consideration that once my fiance arrives, and we are married... he will be legally able to work in a few months. He has a BA degree, and is not the type to rely on anyone for support. This should count for something, I am hoping. Anyway, I am currently looking for work, but unfortunately, I don't believe that this will be considered in the interview.

I believe it should count for something too, but unfortunately, it doesn't. I suppose they need to make sweeping generalizations in case there are some coming over that simply won't bother to get a job. Also, with the economy as it is, some are having a hard time finding work.

Send all the proof you have. I wish you two luck!

You will need to supply a copy of the court order for the child support along with proof that the payments are being received.

Wow, interview is on Wednesday, and I'm not sure I can supply that on time. However, even if the interviewer doesn't know it... God knows we will be fine financially, and so I'm praying that He will intervene in this case. I'm going to pray for a miracle.

Anyway, my fiance's uncle owns a successful business here, and has guaranteed him a job once he is legally able to work, so finding a job in this economy is the least of our concerns.

Thanks for your answers.
