Cosponsor not longer willing to do affidavit, should I be concerned about my financial record?

[Tore 2]

My cosponsor no longer wants to sponsor my fiancée and we have our interview set for January 26th. I only made ~12k in 2019 working temporary jobs and for the first 3 quarters of this year, 2020, I worked a temporary job but got a permanent job in the 4th quarter which has put me above the poverty level. Now in my new role I will be making enough money, 40k, and the role is permanent. I'm concerned that the lack of money I made in 2019 will reject our request for a visa. I wanted this cosponsor as a safety measure and now that they are not willing to do it I feel that our visa might get rejected. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

If you can prove your job is stable and sufficient now, that’s all matter.

Future income cannot be used to support you now. Neither can past income. They will care about current income first. At the time you present the I-134, it needs to show the petitioner's current income...that is how much they are earning at that time. The past income may be considered for the public charge piece as well, but current income is what is required.

 

One of the documents to use is a letter from your employer that outlines your current income, your position and when you began your employment. Here is an example such a letter.

 

Company Letterhead]

 

Date: [Date of issuing employment verification letter]

To Whom It May Concern:

If you have any questions regarding Mr./Miss [First Name]'s employment, please contact our office at [Office HR Phone Number].

 

Sincerely,

 

 

[Signature of person issuing this letter] 

[Manager HR] or [Designation]

CURRENT annual income is king.  Past years' income is useful only to determine stability.

Current annual income is calculated as:

Current weekly income x 52 = current annual income

Current monthly income x 12 = current annual income

Current pay period income x number of pay periods per year = current annual income

This seems to be the consensus. I can too, I have the letterhead they require from my supervisor stating it's my role is permanent and that I make above the poverty level.

It is not that simple, company letter and paid checks consistent with that.

Here is what most embassies look for. This is the maximum amount of financials that a one embassy will ask for. Your embassy may ask for all or only cherry pick what they want. I recommend being prepared with all the financial evidence minus the cosponsor in your case.

 

EVIDENCE OF SUPPORT: You must submit any evidence which will show that you and members of your family who will accompany you are not likely to become public charges while in the United States. Visa petitioner (US Citizen) will have to complete form I-134. If the petitioner does not qualify as a sponsor, a Joint-Sponsor should present (any US Citizen living in the US or Legal Permanent Resident), who will also have to complete form I-134. Both the Sponsor (Petitioner) as well as the Joint-Sponsor, will have to present last year's income tax return transcripts. W2 form and proof of current and sustainable income (e.g., letter of employment on letterhead including salary and start date, most recent salary receipts, bank accounts, the value of properties, etc.). You may download the I-134 affidavit at https://www.uscis.gov/i-134. Bank statements in place of a letter from the bank will work just fine. Print the statement that shows the opening balance for a month and the closing balance for that month. Do that for 12 months—no need to print off all pages of a bank statement.
