Using co-sponsor for k1 fiance visa

[Jesus 54]

I am very confused wihen it comes to filling out the form I-134.  I am currently a student and unemployed and thus i will be using my parents as a co-sponsor for my k1 fiance visa application.. The thing is they file taxes together as they are self employed and own their own business. I read in a forum that you use the highest income of the one parent, but in my case everything is together. How do i fill this out?

 

 

Thank you

Even if the tax information shows that it's jointly filed, you must show the income of ONE parent. If I'm not mistaken, the tax transcript does break down individuals, even on a jointly filed tax return. You can also show a bank letter with deposits from the business to prove income.

 

Since it's self-employment, I'd also strongly suggest 3 years of tax info for your co-sponsor.

 

For my co-sponsor he also had joint taxes but was able to show a letter from his employer for his portion of the income. At the interview, they didn't even look at that information - just the total tax info. So sometimes it depends on who you see at the interview.
