He will have to prove he can support you.

Usually you do that by showing income, tax returns, assets, etc...

He should be filing income taxes, if for anything else, to get the tax credits.

If not, he will have to explain in a detailed letter why he doesn't have to pay any, and point to the IRS rules that allow this.

He will have to show source of his current income, amount, and type. (or assets)

If you don't have this info, and no co-sponsor, you will be denied.

I thought that disability benefits is also listed as income and still taxable?

My fiance is retired and also receives disability benefits.

How much is he getting per year?

I am sure at 55 he has accumulated other assets like house, insurance, bank accounts.

The disability income should be allowed to be used to qualify. He can make copies of the checks or if direct deposited show bank statements with the monthly deposits. And like said it will not hurt to show other assets like a house, saving account and such.

So that's 7800 per year..Should be 18,500 for 2 people

Car title is useless unless he has 2 (I heard)

I dunno how they make computation but the house is a great addition, bank accounts too and insurance.

Co-Sponsor isn't allowed specially at that age. You can try though but the chance is too slim.

Isn't it 14,710 for 2 ppl? It's in the 2011 poverty guidelines

cheer up you actually still have hope.. you mentioned he owns the house right? Well that is an asset that he can use to compensate the difference of the required amount. Let him arranged assessment to determine its CASH VALUE. What my fiance told me is it can cost him around 400$ to have it done. Also, look into his other asset like Annuity that he has from an Insurance Company, he may have one, you can present that too since that is considered another asset.

If you use assets, they only count 1000 for every 3000. Also, they will look at assets, but they want to see that there's sustainable income coming in or has potential for future income growth. The US Embassy in Manila is very strict when it comes to income and very rarely allows cosponsors for K1 visas.

It's probably best if he goes to The Philippines and marry you over there and file for a CR-1 and look for a cosponsor.

Don't give up hope.

Your employment as the beneficiary does not matter at all to the Consulate. The only concern the Consulate has is that your petitioner has sufficient income to support you and that if at some point you'd become a public charge, he could afford to pay back the government.
