Affidavit of Support- Question About Income and Starting Job Right After Interview

[tk921 0]

My fiance is has scheduled her interview for the middle of June and we are preparing our interview materials. We had a few questions on the income requirements listed in the I-134 form.

I am graduating from graduate school in a few weeks and have signed and accepted an offer to work at a consulting firm in Washington DC starting in August. I worked at the same firm this past summer for a salary and received a cash bonus after signing a full-time offer. My summer salary and the bonus put my 2013 income well above the required threshold and my 2014 income, once I start work, will be above it as well.

However, I technically won't be a full-time employee at the firm until August 1st. What should I put for my employment status and salary? Should I use my total income from last year or the income I will generate once I begin full time work? Should I list myself as an employed by the firm? I have my offer letter/contract with salary figures and formal communication documenting my August 2014 start, as well as pay stubs and income tax filings for my 2013 income.

Any advice on how to proceed would be much appreciated!
