Income and I134, K1 Visa

[Abhik30 16]

Hi everyone,

 

I am planning to apply for my fiance's K1 visa. I do have a couple of questions regarding the income and I134. I called a couple of lawyer offices and none of them were ready to give me a paid consultation (1 hour or something). They offered packages which were thousands of dollars (4 k being min and as I understand from all the YouTube videos and forums is that lawyers are not essential for this process unless our case has unique circumstances.

 

So, hoping the community here can help me. Some background:

Fiance is an Indian citizen currently working in Oman. We have been together for 4 and a half years. Lived in the US for the first three (We were students at the same uni) and then he came back to his home country. We have met twice since October 2019 (We would have more if COVID wasn't a thing).

 

Here are the questions:

1. I made higher than 125% of the poverty line last year (2020), but before that in 2019 I was a student and didn’t earn that much (approx 14k). Will 1 year of over 125% be enough?
2. Do I need to include the I134 with my I129F package or does my fiancé submit it at the interview in his country?
3. If my fiancé has to show it, do I need to courier him the original I134 with originals for supporting docs such as W2/Payslips/Letter from my employer?

Another random question,

4) I lived in a dorm from 2016 to 2020. My physical address was my dorm but my tax address was my grandma's (as that was my home away from college). In the address history do I use physical address or tax/important document address?

 

Thank you so much in advance. I am really hoping to not shell out money for a lawyer. And with all the external factors, I am hoping to do everything correct from our side to avoid any delay.

Appreciate any help!

No. It's submitted later.
