Child support case during K1 interview

[SMR&JDR 6]

Hey guys!

 

I've got a question regarding my fiancé's previous marriage. On the decree, it mentions a certain amount for child support which is high due to his previous employment, he was getting paid a higher salary than now. But ever since he got this new job, he has filed a petition to lower child support and have it adjusted to his current earning. That petition is still going, and the child support has gotten lower than the first time, like on the decree, but not as low as it should be in regards to his current earning, and the final court hearing for the final adjustment is going to be pretty soon. 

 

Now, my question is, would it cause a problem during my interview at the embassy as they'd see the amount mentioned on the decree is way too high compared to his current earnings, and would decide he's not capable of supporting me? I guess what I'm trying to say is, what kind of proof should I take with me to the interview that shows the child support has gotten lower and will get even lower? Or would just explaining the situation to the officer be good enough? Because my fiancé is more than capable of supporting his two kids from his previous marriage, himself, and myself included.

 

Thanks for your help in advance!☺️

Never heard that the consulate are experts in determining what is appropriate child support or not.

I think you misunderstood my question. I'm not asking if they'll find the child support payment to be good enough or not. I'm asking if they'll question his capability of supporting me financially when they see the high amount mentioned on the decree vs. his current earnings. The child support mentioned on the decree is over half of what he's making now.

Bring the new order of support if the court adjusts the amount.
