K1 Visa refused

[Ed&Midori1031 330]

It's too bad that your fiance didn't include his pay stubs with his I-134.  As mentioned before, the consulate holding on to your passport is not a bad sign.  Ask your fiance to send you copies of their pay stubs, and I would recommend a copy of the W2 associated with those pay stubs.  It's frustrating because it's not the outcome you expected, but the sonner you submit the requested items, the sooner you and your fiance will be off.  Good luck!

Thank you for your kind words. I guess we just really missing the important details and you are right that the consular did asked to complete the information as soon as possible. Hopefully it works

I just had my interview and I have all the documents presented based on the email instruction but then the consular asked me about my fiance's Pay Stub which I couldn't provide (because I have no idea if it's also one of the required documents). And the consular gave me a white paper which stated "Request for further information, Immigrant Visa" and told me to send them the requested document as soon as possible to their email. I asked if my visa got approved or not because the paper said that it got refused due to incomplete information and they said that they gonna wait until I send them the additional information before they can decide. They haven't return my passport yet and it makes me even more confuse. Can someone explain?

May I ask where your interview was?

Ok, so it sounds like you submitted a job offer, not a letter stating he is employed. That's what you needed. Now they want to verify he is currently earning. Easy fix. Have your fiance download his pay slips and email them to you, then forward to embassy.

They basically only ask for his paystub because the rest of the documents already complete

That's what I exactly told my fiance to do, but actually I did submit his employment letter during the interview. Guess they just need more evidence

Proof of income is required. at least a letter from workplace that your fiance makes X amount of money.

You said it was an offer, so I thought that was the issue. An offer would no suffice. No proof he accepted the offer.

@Vivian08 there are lots of people here with different opinions and different experiences what has worked someone may not work for you and your embassy.

Provide them with information they have requested and you will be fine.

Thank you. I appreciate all of the input, I guess the rest is just up to the embassy however. I just try to look for an advice from those who might be experience the same thing, and most of the answers are clear though

It's actually up to the individual CO. The entire I-134/taxes/paystubs are all optional under the law and via policy (FAM). The only (income-related) requirement for a K-1 is the CO must not believe the applicant is likely to become a public charge.

When you get to AOS in the US, the I-864 is actually required by law and has more defined criteria.
