Hi everyone, this is my first post here but I wanted to ask the question that has been puzzling me the most and I hope someone can help! I know the topic has been addressed in different posts but I don't feel confident about how those situations apply or don't apply to my own. 

 

I am looking to begin the application soon with the I-29F and as I understand that is not when I will need to provide proof of income, I will eventually send that to my fiance based on what they request correct?

 

Currently my income, well as of the past 5 months or so is great, and not of any concern, easily double the 125% threshold. Going back 2.5 years though, I was either an AmeriCorps (government service work with only a stipend), self employed, or doing odd jobs, and for a brief time in that time frame I was finishing college. Basically now I'm just getting back to career work for the first time in 6 years or so. Also during a part of that time I was married previously, which, while my income was low the tax return shows a huge income from my ex wife. 

 

My question is, will my current larger income be enough? If they dig farther back, will they look at the larger tax returns from when I was married, or my own income or consider my service work or the fact I was in college? In any case I've never been on any form of welfare and managed to get by. What worries me the most is what they will want me to show. Taxes is will be easy enough, but showing a year of bank deposits sounds kind of difficult. I asked a banker and they seemed confused by the question. I deposit rent checks from a roommate, plus payroll deposits, etc etc. In short, how does all that pan out or what specifically should I be getting a hold of to send along when the time comes?

 

Thanks.

Current income matters a great deal more (in fact pretty much only matters) than previous income. 

 

You show your tax returns and proof of current ongoing income like paystubs and/or letter from your employer.

It's less an assessment of the money you've lived previously, and more your ability to demonstrate stable and sufficient incoming going forwards. The point of this element of the process is for them to see you have the money going forwards to support your partner should they not be able to work.
