I-134 Supporting evidence as a (recently) self-employed individual

[gwy309 0]

Hello, 

 

Advice is greatly appreciated as I fill out the I-134 form (as the petitioner) for the K1 visa.

I was laid off recently from my employer. Since being laid off, I have transitioned to freelance self-employment until I can land my next full-time role.

In terms of evidence of financial support for my fiancé, this is what I have:
 

• My 2022 tax transcript, which meets (and surpasses) the federal poverty guideline for my household size (2).
• The 2023 income I've made thus far from my ex-employer also meets the poverty guidelines for this year, and I can provide those previous paystubs.
   

My questions are:
 

1. Are the tax transcripts coupled with the last 6 months of paystubs sufficient on their own?
2. Even though I exceed the poverty guideline for my household size, should I still disclose proof of assets with a statement from my bank? I'm worried my evidence may be up for more scrutiny as a recent self-employed freelancer.
3. Lastly, as a self-employed freelancer, should I provide more current evidence of financials, such as a recently paid invoice from a client?

 

Am I overthinking this? I would greatly appreciate advice from experienced individuals. I want to make sure I am providing sufficient evidence of financial support for when my fiancé has his interview.

Thank you folks.

Simpler solution, London allows K1 to self sponsor, they do not see to look for a lot.

Thanks for your reply and insight on the London embassy. Are you suggesting I complete the "Beneficiary's Assets" part on the I-134?

I was the beneficiary and did it all myself. I was surprised how uninterested they were. I took everything.

 

But the I 134 is a joke, I 864 is the serious one.
