K1 income /co sponsor

[jg81 3]

Hello

I am hearing two different things about the income at the interview , is if proof you meet 100% or 125% minimum requirement at the time of the interview?

Also what exactly is the co sponsor ( if needed) responsible for ?

It is 100% for those who are in the US Armed Forces and 125% for everyone else: http://www.uscis.gov/sites/default/files/files/form/i-864p.pdf

Basically, the co sponsor is financially responsible for the intending immigrant. It's a way for the US government to make sure that immigrant doesn't jump on public benefits and become dependent on welfare, food stamps etc.

I believe London for the K-1 still accepts/looks for 100%. But you'll need to meet 125% for AOS when you do the I-864.

Read what the Dept of State says. They are the ones who issue visas. http://travel.state.gov/content/visas/english/immigrate/family/fiance-k-1.html#9

London follows that. A tax return is not required. They have accepted 100%, but an interviewer can pretty much do what he chooses. The law says he has to be convinced the immigrant will not become a public charge. It's subjective.
