Visa requirements? (merged)

I am glad your math agrees with mine Hank. Exactly as I said, $19,912 is the 125% exactly as it is stated on the I-86P. I was correcting an early post by toddriegel that said the 125% was $24,890...which as you have now confirmed along with me...is not correct.

Your math is correct - 125% of $19,912 is $24,890. I believe it is how you applied that math for this situation that is incorrect. The the 2015 HHS Poverty Guideline for a household size of 2 is $15,930. 125% of that value is $19,912.

For a fiancé visa, If a Form I-134 is requested by the consular officer during the interview, you need to show your income is 100 percent of the federal poverty guideline. This is clearly documented by the State Department. To be honest, a number of people (and my experience also) have not been asked to show evidence of income during the interview for the Fiance visa. I have heard that if you are asked for form I-134 you need to show the 125% value which is $19,912. However unless things have changed again, the USEM was not asking for these forms to be submitted.

After you and your fiancé are married and you apply for Adjustment of Status, you need to submit form Form I-864 and then you need to show that your income is 125% of the HHS Poverty Guideline...which is $19,912. The government tried to make it easy for anybody that may be math challenged and included the 125% value on the form I-864P itself.

Just as the nvc told me when I applied, if you count yourself and one other person for a total of 2. The 2015 HHS poverty guideline is $15930 multiplied by 100% for those that are in the armed forces. If you live in the 48 contiguous states and a household of 2 will have a HHS poverty guideline of $19912 multiplied by 125% for a total of 24890.00. The NVC confirmed this when I double checked because I had a household of 5.

Tell the NVC that they are wrong and don't mention my name. They told me to multiply the amount on the right side on form I-864P by 125% for your total and thats the amount you need to be over.

No! If some idiot at NVC told you this... they are wrong.!! The I-864P is not complicated, just read it.

19,912 is 125% of the 15,930 ... that is the math. Anything else is incorrect.

You really need to stop believing everything you hear from the tier-one customer service reps at the NVC. Just read the I-864P.

Oh. so nobody needs to call the nvc or uscis if they have questions. I thought it was their job to answer your questions. I guess we just need to ask the idiots on here on what to do and what the next steps in the process is. Since you're the one with all the brains and knowledge, why don't you post your email and phone number and help everyone.

Three things are painfully obvious from your post:

1. You did not even bother to read the I-864P.

2. Instead of arguing the facts of the issue, you resort to a personal attack.

3. You blindly believe that tier-one customer service reps never make mistakes.

Tell ya what, YOU go read the I-864P for 2 people, then come back and let us all know which number is correct - $19,912 or 19,912 x 125% We will wait, holding our breath, for your opinion .... being we all hold your opinion in such high regard.

Fiance makes 18000 a year. And from what I read, manila does not allow joint sponsors right now. And he lives with his parents so he doesn't have properties and other income. Are we eligible for k1 visa?

[Lhanz0729 52]

If that's the case then maybe the best option is for him to get here in Manila, get married and file for CR1.

But he's already filed for the fiance visa though. And he's paid the fee already. Besides, income requirement is still 125% of the current poverty guidelines

The government doesn't care if you have to pay a new fee for a different visa. The Phillippines handles cosponsors case by case. For success you must have a close family member like parents. Also they pretty much have stopped asking for the I134 and supporting documents at the interview so you might just get through. I can't say for sure.

If your K1 gets declined then you get married and apply for CR1 where they have to take your cosponsors.
