Interview time is getting close and I am working on the I-134. Working off of my 2012 W2 I am a little short on income with my large family, however in mid 2012 I received a large pay raise which puts me over the income requirement. I have no 1040 for 2013 reflecting the higher pay rate yet, but I do have pay stubs, the letter from the bank, and the letter from my employer stating my current income. Will I have a problem with this? Would I be better off having my fiance postpone the interview into mid January so I can have a more representative W2 and 1040?

I have my friend doing the same thing. He is making only 15000k being on SSDI. But he is making $2040 this year and k1 visa just got approved. Their plan, is to move the interview date once they apply for 2013 tax for better solid income to qualify for poverty guidelines. So I suggest, she needs to re-schedule her interview appointment after you file your 2013 tax next year.

Hope it helps!

The letter stating your post-raise income plus the pay stubs should work as proof of current income. Personally, I wouldn't postpone the interview.
