Form I-134, past low income plus non-custodial children ?'s

[VenezuelaVisa 2]

I'm about 3 months into our K1 visa processing, I'm trying to plan ahead in regards to Form I-134. I was a student the last few years and worked various jobs with gaps in between, median income on my tax returns has been roughly $20,000 with this year's tax return looking like I will be at about $26,000, however my new job that I started in July has me making around $40,000 a year. I have plans of changing jobs after obtaining my CDL license this December and already have offers earning more income. In addition to all this, I provide support for two children, however I'm the non-custodial parent.

 

So my questions,

 

are my two children to be included on my Form I-134 as wholly supported or partially supported? What would be the number of dependents to calculate?

 

Due to my previous low income, changing of jobs, plus changing of job this December/January, will I be at risk for denial if I'm showing at our interview next year that my current income is more than the Poverty Guidelines? 

 

Thanks for all the help you guys

yes you have to claim your children

 

provide your previous tax transcripts and your current (at interview time) letter of employment and W2's. they are most concerned with current income.

Ok, just to clarify, the children would be included as wholly, not partially, dependent then? So I should calculate the poverty guidelines as a household of 4? Me + 2 children + Beneficiary?
