2015 W-2 vs current income

[Mayar & Ben 1]

Hey guys!

My fiance's 2015 tax returns don't show him meeting the 125% minimum HHS required because he was a student. But now in 2016 he does. Do we have to wait for the tax returns for 2016 before we schedule our interview? Also he works as a temp, it is not a stable job. But he still managed to get the 125% in 6 months. What supporting documents do we need to provide?

Thanks for your help

He can show employer letter stating him income and whether he is full time and permanent or temporary. He should include all paystubs for the year (since he started the job this year).

But he should get a co-sponsor as a back-up. Some embassies will ignore that he meets the income right now.

Yeah, we'll present an employer letter, pay stubs and a bank statement. But unfortunately we couldn't get a co-sponsor. This is one of the main issues we were trying to resolve before we started the petition.

Appreciate the advice though

You guys should go ahead and file the petition now. The financial information will be needed at NVC stage.

You guys will probably hit that stage early next year. And guess what? The petitioner can file his taxes early during the tax season so, I think you guys will have the tax return to show he makes enough.

So don't worry about it now.

Sorry I wasn't very clear. We filed our petition in May, two months after petitioner got a job that exceeds required income He had to quit school to do that though, not great

We got the email from the American embassy 3 weeks ago and are honestly stalling to make an interview appointment. Mostly trying to get as many pay stubs as possible. So now, 6 months since he started the job, the pay stubs should show he met the 125% income during that time. It is a temp job though. And the tax returns for 2015 don't meet the 125%

He can give you copies of his pay stubs and maybe a letter from the employer verifying in annual income. If he meets the rules, you shouldn't need a co-sponsor anyway. Just load up on evidence of his current salary.

Will do that! Thank you!
