USC with no income

[haveheart 0]

I have been reading different things on this forum so I wanted to clear something up:

I'm the beneficiary of a petition about to be sent, I'm 23 years old, employed in my country (not saying this matters a lot but...) but with a very low wage. My Fiancee is a U.S. citizen, 18 years old who goes to university and has no income and no tax returns at all. Her mother is gonna support us and sponsor us, meeting the guidelines but not exceeding them substantially.

I have been reading different things about K-1 visas being denied based on USC having no income. 1 - What's the real deal?! I really want to know my chances of this situation being a problem for us!

2 - My Fiancee is gonna file the form I-134 and then send it along her mother's support so it should not be a big deal but would they really deny my K-1 visa based on that?

I'm freaking out here and I want to know this information before filing the petition. Thanks a lot for replying and good luck on your journey!

No income information is needed for the petition. For the visa if he does not have a job he can use a co-sponsor. If he has a qualified (makes enough money) co-sponsor there should be no problem. That's the real deal.

Anything you read different than that...is wrong.

I'm sorry I'm a bit mixed up about the terms. Yes, it's for the interview that I'm worried.

I'm the beneficiary and I have a really low income.

The petitioner has NO INCOME but her mom and dad together do. So after the petition being approved, ANY U.S. Citizen can sponsor the immigrant as long as they have sufficient income?!

ANY citizen or legal resident. Unless the consulate restricts it. Rio does not. Your income does not matter at all.

I don't know how to read your name, but thank you very much! I feel much better now! Another question:

when the petition get approved, must I have an I-134 made by the petitioner herself or just the sponsor + co-sponsor?

The petitioner IS the primary sponsor - always. The petitioner must always submit an affidavit of support. Since the petitioner needs a joint sponsor then the joint sponsor will also submit an affidavit of support. Both affidavits require whatever supporting financial documents the consulate requires (usually, the most recent tax return as a minimum). A joint sponsor will also need to submit proof of US citizenship or lawful permanent residence. The petitioner would have already submitted this proof with the petition.
