k-1 visa - finances

[GingerZebra 14]

What is the best thing to do about proving finances?

 

I know there is a form that needs filling out, and we will need a co-sponsor but this just brings up more questions for me.

What is classed as a household - who lives under one roof, or who files taxes separate/together?

Just to make it more confusing we have a baby - we are waiting on her SSN to arrive - my fiancés mum thinks they should put her on their taxes because she earned more, but I question this for the for a few reasons but mainly will it affect anything visa wise?

child born in 2024 or real recent -2025?

The child mother is not in USA from reading thru past post ?

 

so, how would the future MIL claim the baby in UK 

CBRA, yes, as u already know

but To claim a child as a dependent, that child had to live with you for over half the year. If the child did not live with you at all during the year, it is typically the case that the custodial parent is entitled to claim that child as a dependent instead.

 

 

when you get to interview at embassy,  the most current tax returns will be taken (to interview ) with W2's and I 134

joint sponsor the same I 134

just for any other VJ'ers January executive order paused any I 134a (if that was ever used for K1)

2024, she is with me in the UK, I am a British citizen. Baby already has CRBA/US Passport. 

MIL is wanting to put her on US tax returns. - I don't know how this works tax is done differently in the UK. 

My fiancé/her dad is a US citizen so I figured him claiming makes sense as he has contributed financially but not MIL?

 

This is why I asked what a household is defined as... because we will all be living in the same house for a bit as finances are tight for us but they don't file together so under one roof will actually be 7 of us (inc. myself and baby) but tax filing is separate.. we need  to it the correct minimum amount.

It does not work as child is not living with her nor has lived with her for 6 months of 2024

Basically she is not providing housing ,  food and the essentials for care of your child even if she sends money to support u and the baby

the baby is not living in her home in 2024

Okay, I mean she works in tax so.. I don't know.

 

Still need to know what a household is classed as though.

From the I-864 page - "Your household size includes you, your dependents, any relatives living with you, and the immigrants you are sponsoring"

 

And more info here - https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/immigrate/the-immigrant-visa-process/step-1-submit-a-petition/i-864-affidavit-faqs.html#aos6

 

Good luck.
