I-864 Income

[Jamie H 0]

Hello! I am currently working on my I-864 form for my fiancé and I. And I have a question regarding the income. My income is above poverty line, however I was a student until May last year, and did not start working until August 2015, so I did not have a full year of income come taxes in April. I was concerned that they may question my ability to sponsor him. Will this be a problem? Should I have my Dad fill out an I 864 as well, just to be safe? Thank you!

hi

the i864 is for adjustment of status once your fiancé is in the usa and you've married

for the fiancé visa, the i134 is the affidavit of support, once for you and one for your dad if needed

Yes, he has already entered the country. We filed the I 134 for the K1 back last year. But now have moved on to the AOS

Ah, then they are your spouse now, not fiance. It also helps to have an updated timeline so people know where you are in the process.

You need to include a statement as to why you did not legally file taxes any of the last 3 years that you did not, as the instructions state. You can provide a letter from employer and recent pay stubs to prove your current annual income. You can leave it like that and see if it is approved, or if you do not want to waste time with an RFE, then have your dad be your joint sponsor to be safe.
