K1 Income guideline question

[FrozenGlitter 1]

I'm hoping to sponsor my fiance when we get to that point (about to finally mail off the petition within the next 4 weeks). I currently don't have a job paying enough to sponsor with, and I don't have anyone who can cosponsor. However I have several months to get a better job. I'm seeing some people from other countries saying you need to earn above the poverty guidelines for an entire year but this clashes with what I've previously read. So, what is the case with the embassy in London? Will it be ok as long as I am making the right amount when I fill out the I134, or is there a minimum time that I have to be earning that for prior to his interview?

Also, I will only be able to submit my 2012 and 2013 tax forms, neither of which will show an income high enough. In 2011 I was with my ex husband, we did our taxes jointly, and I didn't work, so none of the information is relevant. Again, as long as I have paystubs, letter from my employer, etc, will that be enough?

Yes, as long as you have something to prove current income. Dept of State says 100% of poverty level is sufficient. Can't confirm London does that but I think so based on a few comments I've read.

London does not require a tax return (for an I-134) as long as you provide something that proves the income. Edited September 1, 2013 by Nich-Nick

Thank you! That's a relief since we've already waited forever to be ready to do this, I don't want yet another delay, especially a year long one.
