Hi everyone. My interview will be on June 27 and I have questions that’s been bugging me for months...

 

My fiancé’s 2018 taxes are below poverty because he just started working last October and now he is earning $52,000.00 and has no dependents. (Well aside from me in the future)

 

We will provide his paystubs, employment certificate and also his tax forms with an explanation letter why his 2018 tax forms are below poverty, also we will add his bank statement for additional docs. Do you guys think this will be a problem? 

 

Should we get a co sponsor? We hired a visa firm and they kept on insisting that we don’t need it because his income is high enough for a household of 2.

 

I’m just really confused because I read the embassy looks at the tax documents during the interview.

 

Anyone here who has the same case?

 

would like to hear your insights :) thanks!

We are in the exact same situation, we don't know for sure yet either, so I can't give you any more information. If you get any new insights please let us know :)

Haha yep, same boat ;) No, we didn't schedule the interview yet, we're currently waiting for package 3 from the German embassy and still making up our mind whether to get a co sponsor or not. We received the same info you did (probably from the same agency). Obviously having a co sponsor lined up just in case is the safe way to do it, but we have so much stuff going on right now that we would LOVE to hear that it's unnecessary :D

Do you mean the eligibility letter from the embassy? Or is it a different thing...   Anyway, I also agree with the visa firm though. Why do we need a co-sponsor if the current income is above the poverty guideline? I mean sure, they didn't earn as much last year but what does it have to do with anything in the present? As far as I know, they don't want us to be a public charge when we get there. But still, there's a level of confusion inside my head because of the things that I read online haha

Different thing, embassy processes differ from country to country ;) Yeah, well I guess we'll find out but I definitely keep you posted!

The CO is only interested in the answer to the question "can the petitioner support the beneficiary so that they will not become a ward of the state". If the financial information that is provided by the petitioner can show any of the following then there is a reasonable chance there will be an approval of the financial question.

 

1. Is the petitioner increasing his net worth with moving from one job to another all the while increasing his income.

2. Is the petitioner a student who is graduating with a degree that would permit them to earn an income to support the beneficiary.

3. Does the family support the petitioner in way that "if" the petitioner were to "stumble" could the family step in and carry the burden till the petitioner were to find stable income

 

Now having said that the caveat is that each embassy and each CO uses a different yardstick of measurements for these situations. Not all embassy's will abide by this logic but most do. 

 

Here is what most embassy's are looking for to prove what we are talking about:

 

EVIDENCE OF SUPPORT. You should be able to demonstrate that you will not become a public charge or be a burden on the U.S. taxpayers for financial support. A completed I-134 Affidavit of Support Form (https://www.uscis.gov/i-134) K1/K2 Interview Preparation Instructions – English (February 2014)  Page 3 of 9 with an original signature will be useful to the consular officer to evaluate your petitioner’s ability to be financially responsible for you. You should also submit your petitioner’s most recent U.S. Federal income tax return (Form 1040) and wage statements (Form W-2). Employment letters stating salaries and bank statements may be included to substantiate the I-134. Get the IRS transcript in place of the actual 1040 here: https://www.irs.gov/Individuals/Get-Transcript Use this link to determine the income levels needed https://www.uscis.gov/i-864p.

Can I schedule interview before receiving P3 letter?? I just checked on the website and an interview is available for July 3rd. I'm scared to lose that slot. 

It's been said over and over to go to your country's subforum and ask specific questions. Each embassy is different.

I called the NVC this morning (as an aside, contacting them is definitely challenging) and received our case and invoice numbers.  I also confirmed that my address was still my old one so I was able to fix that.  The call is worth it!

 

I've updated our timeline and we're on to the next steps!

Really? You're asking that question?

 

Repeat after me. Every embassy is different. Everyone's case is different. I am different so therefore i should be more patient. It will get here when it gets here. I remember Greenbaum advising us to go to our subforum to ask embassy specific questions.  I think that's were I shall go. So tally ho.

 

 

Reponses to our questions deserve more respect that this.

@Greenbaum I emailed the embassy for the P3 and received it today. It's the exact same one as the one you sent me previously- except with the obvious differences such as my name and the date. Apparently, they'll allegedly choose the interview date for me (at least, that's how I understood it). 


How exciting, onto the next step we go~!
