Hello! I've been using this site since January and have found it extremely helpful but this is my first post and if anyone has any advice that would be great!

I have my medical booked for Thursday and have sent off 'package 3' and almost have everything ready to send off the DS-2001 but am starting to have a freak out about the I-134.

My fiancé has gathered all his documents (tax returns, employer letters etc etc). His tax return shows that in the last year he earned around $17,500 which I know isn't above the 125%. He does however have around $8000 in savings which would then push him over the level. Will this be ok?? or can they deny because his actual wages aren't above the level.

My interview will be in London. I have quite a bit in savings too but it seems that they don't care at all how much the beneficiary has?!

Should I get his father to be my sponsor or am I freaking out about nothing?

Any help would be very much appreciated!

Normally, the $8,000 dollars should be enough, I think.

But if you are uncertain, why not add your savings to the mix? They don't care about the beneficiary's income, yes, but I am pretty sure you can add your savings.

Thank you! that makes me feel better!

Would I need to include this on the I-134 form or would taking a print out of my savings account to the interview suffice?

He the USC puts his 8,000 on the I-134 in the asset section.

You the immigrant can take a bank statement showing your assets to the officer if he isn't satisfied with what is on the I-134. Most likely, the I-134 will be sufficient without you sweetening the pot.

Have you thought of self sponsoring?

Self-sponsoring is allowed at the embassy in London. Your other comment sounds like you are over thinking what they might be thinking. London isn't really going to be thinking of your motives. It isn't a high fraud consulate where they are trying to play detective to uncover your plot to get out of a third world country.

Yes you hit the nail on the head. I am definitely overthinking this.
