Affidavit of Support question

[cedrichadjian 7]

My fiancé started working around Sept 2017. He is 23 years old.
He currently makes around $11.5/hour, works about 8 hours/day. So his annual salary should probably be around $23,000. We, of course, have exceeded 125% but not by much. He has his paystubs, can get a letter of employment and performance, W2’s and tax returns since September 2017.

Now, my question is, is his employment starting date (around September 2017) a problem for us? We want to file the petition during next month (December 2018)

PS: I'm the beneficiary, he's the petitioner.

Yeah? No? Anyone?

His start date is not important.   You have at least 9 months before the affidavit is submitted to the consulate at the time of the Visa interview considering you have not yet submitted a  petition

Okay so we're good to file next month then, thank you!

The affidavit is not included in the petition so that is not a show stopper

Yes, I know. I was concerned about the September 2017 job start date and tax returns/W2's.

Current earnings capacity at the time of submission is primary.   Time in position is not so.

I see. I think it could affect in a way that they think he's stable and that he will stay employed.

They don't look at this because anyone can change/stop/start employment at anytime

None of that is required until the interview.  That does not go with the petition.  You are good.  He will have his 2018 tax return by the time you interview.

Good luck.  Just relax and feel free to ask any questions.  There are a lot of good people here.  I know this seems daunting at first.  We were all there.  It truly is easier than it feels right now.
