How Much Financial Support

[Tanakil 0]

I am just starting out filling out forms and I am curious of anyone knows how much my fiancé has to make a year to prove he can support me.

I an a nurse and will eventually have no problem getting a job once the USA let's me work.

Follow the 125% line for how many are in the house hold including yourself. If just you and him then its 2.

Is there a certain amount of years worth he'll have to show, like 3 years worth of taxes?

No it doesn't. It all depends on the household size. See the link Inky posted above.

It depends on which consulate you would be going through. Some only require the most recent year, and others want the 3 most recent years. Have him get the last 3 years worth of tax transcripts from the IRS for free just to be prepared.

One last question.

If I am able to obtain a work visa in the us, and am working and living there legally. Would this number decrease as I have a means of making my own money or no because I am still under an obligation of having to renew the work visa?

I am not really sure I understand what you are asking. If you are planning on entering the US with a K-1 and getting married, you won't be getting a work visa. After you are married, you will file for adjustment of status (AOS) and will file for an Employment Authorization Document (EAD) at that time. The I-864 that your husband will provide when you file your AOS will happen before you are authorized to work. The numbers will not change. It is still based on household size and you can see the numbers here: http://www.uscis.gov/files/form/i-864p.pdf

You should read through the guides here.

And that's why we don't use lawyers if we can help it.
