Unsure about address we intend to live at

[banhammer007 0]

Hello!

I've been looking into the steps to begin the K1 visa process for awhile now since recently coming back from a year long trip from the US to Australia, where I met a very sweet Vietnamese girl and we already have plans to get engaged.She is actually over here in the US with me now on a visitors visa over the holidays so we are beginning to compile everything we need for the forms and also to become officially engaged. While looking at the form I had a question about the address in the United States where your beneficiary intends to live section. I've only recently gotten back into the US and while I have a job already I am currently living with my parents to save a bit of money. I 100% will be moved out and have a place secured for my soon to be fiancee and I by the time she gets here, but at the time of the application I don't know where that will be. Do I just put down my current address or what would you all recommend? Also on a slightly different topic has anyone had experience coming back from a year of travel and filling out the K1 form before as far as finances and jobs go? Since I was gone I don't really have anything to show on my last tax return, but I've at least been working a new job here for the last couple months and should still be working it as time goes on. I was also working while in Australia since it was the work and holiday visa. Do you think I will have any troubles with the financial requirements on the visa because of the year I was out of the US for? Looking forward to hearing about your experiences and advice!

Use your current address as that is where you will receive notices sent from USCIS. You can always change your address later once you settle down. As far as the financials are concerned you will need to show proof you can support you fiancee. You will need to show prior tax returns, explanations of gap in work history, and current salary. I am not familiar if you need to show income from overseas or if there are any tax implications about that. You need to be at 125% of the poverty level for a family of 2.

Agreed! OP, send in all of your tax documents along with a note explaining the lack of income from last year this might also help with the explanation of how you met). Send copies of as many current pay stubs as you have with a letter from your employer verifying your permanent work status and salary. You will have even more evidence of your work history/salary to send to your fiancee for her interview. Congratulations on finding each other and good luck!

Agree with all prior posts. However, I will stress to you that attending the interview is a must. Especially since you will need to explain financial and housing issues. Your situation will improve as you get near the interview date. I can tell you from personal experience, the interview is often very detailed about taxes and financial issues. Vietnam is a high-fraud country and can be difficult. Your case seems like one that is kind of in the middle, but I think you can do it. Get organized. Be ready with your taxes, pay stubs, etc. Good luck! And go to the interview!!!
