Minimum income K1

[Xavier_ 33]

Hi,

 

I was wondering for the proof of support:

 

My fiancée only worked 5 months in 2019 (obviously the 16.9k are not met)

 

Since mid-November she is working again.
 

Are the months worked on 2020 counted?

 

thanks.

They do care about current income and she can try bringing in pay stubs and employment letter.  But with it being a very new job they may or may not accept it.  They look at the totality of the circumstances to determine if you may become a public charge.  It is probably a good idea to have a Joint Sponsor just in case.  I am sure others will come along to add more to this.  

 

I forgot to ask where you are in the process.  If you have just filed she has plenty of time to work and get more pay stubs.  Of course she had a low income last year so they may factor that it.

Thanks for your reply.

 

So, only the I-129F was sent 1 week ago. We didn’t get any notifications yet from them. My fiancée just told me they did the $535 paiement (she saw it today on the Chase application).

 

The process is obviously barely starting.

 

Her dad can co sponsor us : he makes more than 130k/ year however he has to support his wife, and his wife’s mom (it should be more than the requirements for 5 persons?)

 

thank you

5 people?  Do you have a child?   Petitioner isn't counted with the joint sponsor.   Beneficiary  1, father 1, wife 1, MIL 1  = 4  (child would be one more)
