K1 Visa: Affidavit of Support Requirements (Manila Embassy)

[HKtoUSA 30]

Hi all, we're still waiting on our NOA2 but we're looking ahead to the next stages of the process to ensure that we have everything in order ahead of time. I know that when it comes time to submit the Affidavit of Support, they'll be looking for a minimum income of 125% of the federal poverty level (for two people). If the income does not meet that threshold or if the Petitioner is unemployed at the time of filing, I know that assets can also be considered.

 

Does anyone know the minimum value of assets the Petitioner must have listed on the I-134? I know the criteria vary from embassy to embassy; we'll be filing at the one in Manila.

I believe you would need 3X times the income shortfall when using assets.   You ccould look at a joint sponsor
