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.

I see. Thank you for explaining that to me, now I have a better understanding

It sounds like the Jakarta embassy needs to update its instructions/guidance. I looked at what the embassy sent us, and yeah, there is no mention of pay stubs, just W-2 and tax returns. My wife brought the pay stubs just because of what we had read here on VJ.

 

Anyway, good luck, and at least it is an easy fix for you! I'm sure you'll get approved once you submit the pay stubs.

That's exactly what I mean. The Embassy didn't mention about it at the guidance email they sent. Should have done a better research though, considering it as a supporting documents.

Thank you anyway. My fiance already sent his paystub to the email of the embassy. Hopefully there will be good outcome 🤞 and I hope this would help other couples who might needs more references about the required documents for the interview.

I have just sent like a year's worth of pay stubs and supporting bank deposit information to my fiance before her interview in a couple weeks. I decided I'd rather go overkill on it than risk possibly what you're going through now. I hope they can resolve your issue soon and everything else goes smoothly for you!

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

We had to go through the same experience. Lucky for you they held to your passport. Our was given back to us and IO told us to bring back the requested document. So it really up to embassy what processes they have implemented and to an IO.

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?

They hold on to you passport bcos your visa will be issue once u provided your fiance pay stub....U dont have to worry just get the the pay stub.

K1 does not allow the alien to work until all the applications after the marriage in the US are approved and  you get the work authorization so the offer of a job was not needed 

They wanted to see the paystubs for the sponsor, not the immigrant. Let's try not to confuse the OP.

I do really hope so. It's been a stressful process and feels like an endless waiting. But thank you for your kind words

Get the pay stubs and be done with it 😳

They did the same thing to my husband but with my irs taxes. he emailed it to them and took no longer than a week and a half and they mailed his passport back to him. We were freaking out too because they didn't tell him yes or no they said the same thing. so just have a little bit of patience

I know how stressful it is. It's such a relief to know that it finally works on your case
