I've only worked 5 months at new job- past tax returns WAY too low

[taylor&ilies 5]

Hello all,

 

I will be sponsoring my husband for his AOS from a K1 visa and I am in a bind of whether or not my evidence is enough. I do know there's always the option of a co-sponsor but that is difficult to come by and I would like to send out my packet ASAP so my husband can get his EAD to work as soon as possible.

 

My situation:

I started my current, permanent, full-time job in December 2016 so I have been working for 5 months. I make well above the 125% poverty line so my annual salary is enough to support my household of 2. I obtained a letter of employment from my employer on company letterhead stating my start date, permanent position, and annual salary. I can also provide pay stubs for the last 5 months. However, my tax returns for 2016 are well below the poverty line since I was going to school/doing an internship abroad. My 2014 and 2015 tax returns are well below the 125% poverty line because I was still a student.

 

Even though I make enough to support my husband now, will it be a probably since my tax returns for the last 3 years don't show that I make 125% above the poverty line?

 

Thank you for your help!!

It's the current salary that matters.

Current pay stubs and job letter will work best, although do include your past tax returns as well.
