Applying K1 as medical student with part time job

[Reverdingreen 9]

Hello guys, I am in a serious predicament. I am currently a 3rd year med student and just received NOA2 for K1. The problem is that I didn’t work last year so I didn’t file. I have however picked up some job at UPS to help me take in some money. My school offers me federal loan tuition refund of about 20k per semester so almost 35k per year which is how most medical students service since we can’t work. What can I do to meet the poverty line? I know I could use co sponsor but can I be able to get a letter from employer and also tell them I get roughly 35K from school which can help support until I graduate? Help me, am so lost! Thanks

You need a co sponsor. 

Loans are not income.  Grants, refunds, etc. are no income.  Your school is not your employer.

Are you saying you did not file taxes? You still need to file. Make sure to file now.

 

Like aaron2020 said, you can get a co-sponsor, which can be a family member, friend, etc.

You just need co sponsors . I was doing my K1 while I was in school with no income too. Everything was fine and my wife got her green card recently.
