I-134 Qualifying now but not last year

[Fadae 38]

Hey y'all, I have a couple questions that hopefully someone will know the answer too.

 

So last year, I was going to school and working mostly full time but still didn't quite make the 125% above poverty mark. So I'm having my dad fill out a I-134 as well, since he makes well above that for the amount of people in the household. But I now make (starting in Jan.) well above the 125%. Do I still need a joint sponsor? Since my tax returns from last year will only show what I made then...

 

Next question, can I just use my past couple monthly bank statements or do I need to go into the branch and ask for a special document containing all the requirements?

 

Thanks ahead of time for any insight you can give! They only gave us 3 weeks notice before our interview and I'm such a mess XD (15 more days!!!)

id keep the co sponsor since you have one just to be safe.

 

if for some reason you cant, current letter from employer and pay stubs/ bank statements should be ok as long as you are well above the 125%

Pay check stubs are the big thing and not really bank statements. So make sure you bring at least 2-3 months of paycheck stubs and your cosponsor paperwork then you should be fine.

I agree. You are probably fine by yourself honestly, but I'd keep your father as a co-sponsor for the K-1 just in case. Some COs can be picky...I don't know how strict they are in Tunisia.

 

When you get to AOS, if you still have the same above-125% level income job, you should be fine to do the I-864 on your own. Your father doesn't need to be a sponsor again, and he would have no legal obligation to support your fiance (I-134 is not enforceable but I-864 is).
