Get married and start the process over with a CR-1. The CR-1 does not have the income requirements attached to it.

That is not correct. For CR1, the petitioner must be over the 125% poverty level as well for family size.

CR1 does have income requirements attached to it.

During the time when I filed for CR1, I was unemployed. I used my grandmother as a co-sponsor, and it was accepted by NVC.

I was approvad for K1, even though my income was questionable. The USCIS recommended I either send more documentation of my work or get a co-sponsor. I opted for a co-sponsor and had no problems at the interview. He didn't even ask about my work. So I believe a co-sponsor is perfectly acceptable for a K1.GL!

OMG really? I'm thinking of using a cosponsor too but I've read here that there has been cases that they didn't allow co-sponsorhip. Who was the co-sponsor btw? Did you meet the income requirements?

It does not matter how you are paid, cash, cheque, direct deposit, it matters what you are paid.

Pay cheques and a letter from the employers stating his income should suffice.

Here's the problem with his bank statements, since they are paid half check and half cash, so only half goes thru the bank which means reflect a small amount of balance in his bank statements because he has all the half of it in cash with him. He only have 9,700 in his bank and the 8000 in cash with him.

Put the cash in the bank.

Show the bank statement.

Have letter reflecting amounts from the employer

and then

show all to CO.

It doesn't surprise me that the CO decided you might become a public charge in the U.S. It appears that you are missing two very important pieces of evidence. You are missing a letter from his employer, and also you are missing current paycheck stubs which accurately reflect his income. Without this evidence, I don't think you can overcome the public charge issue.

One solution is to get a letter from his employer which accurately states his wages, and to have his employer start paying your fiancé's entire earnings by check. After a couple of months, submit these to the Embassy in order to show them that his current sustained income is above 125% of the poverty line. That way, he can qualify on his own and won't need a cosponsor.

Your fiancé's employer fears an investigation. That's because they are hiding something, and that means it's time for your fiancée to play hardball. Have your fiancé demand that his employer end the cash payments. From now on, his entire earnings must be paid by check. Also demand an employer's letter. Let the employer know that if they don't do it, then he will report their payroll irregularities to the authorities.

If he fears of losing his job by reporting his employer's payroll irregularities, he can also declare his cash payments as self employed derived income. He will have to pay taxes out of his own pocket on that income though. Also, if you want to push his income higher I would suggest declaring more self employed cash income. You're basically declaring more cash than he actually has, but again he will pay A LOT in taxes, but it will push his income higher.

Let him talk to an accountant that can help him overcome this issue.

The problem with him putting cash in the bank is that the CO will not bother looking at his bank statement simply because he has not maintained his bank account throughout the year, but instead made one lump deposit. They will look at that with suspicion and more likely ignore it completely. He needs to maintain his bank account for at least 1 year with regular deposits/withdrawals.

[Darnell 8,478]

Agreed ! But is it just as good to show a photo of him showing the cash in hand, in hand?

his bank account is maintained for 1 whole year..with good records of deposits and expenses which all is accordance to the breakdown of salary that his employer has given him

[VJwith Love 0]

To every one who took time to reply in my thread....God knows how grateful I am for every single reply I got here... and I took into consideration everything said

As of now, we are already waiting for his 1 whole year bank statement with good records of deposits and expenses which we will have next week by Monday, all in respect to the breakdown of salary that his employer given him from the time he was employed with them, amended affidavit of support for his 2011 income, recent pay checks, and an updated letter from his employer with a clear breakdown of his income

Praying that all we have prepared will be accepted by the CO this time with his kindest heart of consideration

Thank you all once again...and God bless us all ALWAYS
