Hello

I've gotten married this summer in the UK and am about the start the visa process. However, I am a bit worried about the Affidavit of Support. Last year, I spent most of the year abroad studying. In fact, I only started working seriously this year when I came back. I'm a student, so I honestly didn't want to work 20 hours a week until I absolutely had to.

Currently, I work part-time as a tutor, and am making between $370-420 per week, which is within the 125% poverty level. However, I count as an independent contractor/self-employed. My husband is working in Manchester, but I realize that doesn't really affect the visa process. What should I do in terms of proving my income? I make enough money but I have no idea how to prove it other than collecting pay stubbs and providing my bank statement?

We'll have some money saved up but it won't be more than 10k. Also, he can technically work in the States for his UK job, since he's a website developer, but I'm guessing that doesn't make a difference to Visa people.

You will likely need a joint sponsor.

The simplest solution would be a co sponsor.

“If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle.”

I understand that getting a joint sponsor would be the easiest way of going about it, but suffice it to say, I can't actually get one of those for personal reasons.

Will London count his job as income if he has written proof that he can continue with his job while he is in the States?

If he can get a letter from his employer that they are happy to continue employing him once he moves then they should.

“If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle.”
