Joint Sponsor

[JustCallmeAL 39]

Hallo.. I'm the beneficiary (from Jakarta, Indonesia) I have a question that keep stuck in my mind now.  So this is just my estimation. So, me and my fiance are going to apply for K1 visa on March 2020. He (the petitioner)  started his new job in April 2019, so he probably made less than 20k for 2019. He doesn't have any dependent, so it's just gonna be him+me. 

 

What if,  my interview will be in this year.. So just in case we will have a joint sponsor. And the question is,  can the petitioner use his own income for me to apply AOS ( let say in 2021 ) even though we use joint sponsor for the K1 ? Because he might make more than the poverty level this year. 

 

Thank you in advance 💝

Yes.

The I134 is the Affidavit of Support provided for K1 consular interviews.

The I864 is what is used for AOS.

If you use a joint sponsor for the I134 you dont need to use the same joint sponsor or any sponsor at all for AOS if your financial situation changes.

Do take note that the I134 wont be needed until your embassy interview which likely wont occur until winter 2020. He can use proof of current income by then in the form of an employment verification letter stating his current predicted income supported by 3 months of current paystubs. His income tax reported income doesnt even have to be used although you still provide a copy of the Return trancript with the I134.
