my fiancé filled 2021 tax papers her income is 22600, but uscis increased the poverty guidelines in march atleast 22890 needed

for a family of 3 its 23,030 so how big is this family?

 

its still 100 % for the K1 visa not 125% until the AOS interview (8 months or longer after the intending immigrant files after marriage)

Family size	2021 income numbers	2022 income numbers
For individuals	$12,880	$13,590
For a family of 2	$17,420	$18,310
For a family of 3	$21,960	$23,030

u need to listen carefully to what a lawyer says

he/she may have been concerned with the AOS process after marriage where u need the 125% ( $22887)   or the joint sponsor

OR lawyer is  looking at her adjusted gross which would be around $10490

 

get to know the process

 

https://www.uscis.gov/green-card/green-card-eligibility/green-card-for-fiancee-of-us-citizen

 

know that after marriage u will send in all applications to AOS for the EAD card, and AP  (cost at this time is $1225)

 

anyway u are asking for your USC partner

and either she finds a second job or  gets a joint sponsor for the AOS

and she figures out who to pay your expenses here like health care insurance 

or you two give up this idea of a visa

 

and this is up to her to figure it out

it means that the income satisfies immigration rules

 

BUT u need to know the CO (person who does the interview)  decides to deny or issue a visa

they look at "totality of circumstances"  

they look to see if she can afford your health care insurance / to see if she has even checked the cost of this in her state

they look at the amount of time u have spent together to see if u know each other well

they look at the ages of each

they look at education and work experience

 

there is so much more to the interview than just income

our lawyer said you will need to find a co-sponser , my fiance annual income in 2021 tax papers is 22600. but 2022 march poverty guidelines are increased by 22890

First off,  you need to know that since you are asking for the income for I-134 then above posting of Jeanne is absolutely correct that sponsor must need to have income only 100% of poverty guideline and not of 125%. Right now your case is of K-1 visa, and not for AOS. Thus, income at 100% poverty guideline is needed,  not of 125%. You would need sponsor or joint-sponsor’s income at 125% level of poverty guideline when you would file AOS even though that would be so soon of obtaining K-1 visa. You would get some time off to think about how you would proceed or what to do about I-864 in those 3 months after arriving in US but right now sponsor needs income only at 100% level.

 

And your attorney is100% correct that you do need a co-sponsor because your sponsor’s current income is not enough.

FYI, there is a new version of the I-134 form with edition date 4/25/2022.

https://www.uscis.gov/i-134

It now asks for the beneficiary income.

Hey everyone,

in new edition I-134 should beneficiary mention his income and assets ??  why immigration give this option in there form ? if beneficiary income is not valid ??

 

Some US consulates (not Mumbai) sometimes accept self-sponsorship (ie. using the beneficiary income and assets) for K1.  London is one of those.

 

Note also that the I-134 form is used for other processes, not just K1 visa.  Beneficiary's finances could be relevant for those other immigration processes.
