K1 Affidavit Support cosponsor/evidence

[liz1212 4]

Hi!

 

I am a bit confused as to how to fill out the affidavit of support due to the current situation I am in. I lived in Australia with my fiancé August- March after graduating from grad school in May, so my overall savings are lower than usual and my 2018 tax statements do not meet the income requirement. However, I am currently working a temporary job and will be starting a two year fellowship this summer. Both jobs are paying/will pay me at a rate that is over the income requirement. Do I still need a cosponsor due to the lack of money/US income in the past few years even though I will be making enough for at least the next two years? Along with that, do you need to provide a bank statement, employer letter, and past tax statements for the interview in Sydney? I've been finding some conflicting information. 

 

Thank you!

They tend to go off of your most previous tax (currently 2018) so its highly possible they will ask for a co sponsor from you. If you're going to be at NVC after starting your new jobs then collect pay stubs and any assets (bank statements) etc and upload to NVC at the same time under additional documents. I know that in NZ the consular officers only go off of whatever you upload to CEAC website. Auckland consulate makes us post our documents at least 2 weeks before the interview and I added additional income documents and they told me I needed to upload them to CEAC because if they're not on the portal, then the officer can't/won't see them basically (and they generally decide your fate before you even have your interview).

 

So whatever you plan on having at the interview, make sure its on CEAC too. I've heard of people taking additional documents to their interviews and being put into AP until they uploaded them onto CEAC.

Thank you! That is kind of what I figured, I just have been finding conflicting advice. I had a cosponser lined up, so we’ll probably go with that route to stay safe.

Hey Liz,

 

Did they end up asking for a co-sponsor for you?
