Please help me about k1

[Coco20 0]

My fiancé is American and he has over a million dollars in his bank, but he’s been out of work since 2019, so he has no tax returns or financial documentation. The only thing I can provide at the k1 visa interview is a bank statement . Is this acceptable at the interview or will they reject this? We want to start a business together in usa. If not, what are some options we have. Thank you everyone for helping me with this.

I'd find it hard to believe that he doesn't have at least enough interest or passive income that wouldn't trigger a tax return.  But if he didn't need to file then at least a letter from him to explain that will be needed.  Bank statements will be used to show the sponsorship ability.

To clarify, he has been outside America for two years and has been living with me since then, and the money is a gift from his father

The US citizen should join us here for this discussion.

my Thoughts too

 

but for the embassy interview ,  they will accept the back statement 

and a letter from IRS that no tax returns have been filed

 

he can get that  by filing out a  4506-T

 

Mail or fax the completed IRS Form 4506-T to the address (or FAX number) provided on page 2 of Form 4506-T. If the 4506-T information is successfully validated, tax filers can expect to receive a paper IRS Verification of Non-filing Letter at the address provided on their request within 5 to 10 days.

 

He's also going to have to prove US residency

I am in a similar situation.  I have a few million in the bank but my income is very low and I am about $1000 under the poverty guidelines.  I was going to get a co-sponsor but my attorney informed me that so long as I provide my tax returns (even though I don't meet the poverty guidelines) and a year of bank statements, I should have no problem.  So I am hoping my attorney is correct.  We are waiting for our interview date.

Your attorney is right

You will not need a co-sponsor, if you show your bank statements, as the I-134 /864 advises.

If he meets certain criteria, he can get a "Non-filer" transcript from the IRS.    I agree with others... If his money is in a bank, it's earning interest and that must be reported.  

 

If it's interest from a foreign bank account, this also has to be reported to the IRS.
