K-1 visa,criminal record and social security income

[jeffpinoy 0]

I met my fiancy in Manila last year. I spent over a month there. We have known each other for almost two years. I want to bring her here and marry her. I have recently been put on probation with mistamener charges. Ill be off probation in 4 months. And 25 years ago had a felony. Also my wife passed away in 2004 and I have been liveing on death benafits from social security.Is this conciderd earned income? I have fibromyalgia and it will be very difficult for me to get a fulltime job and make the 20,000 income requiard on the homeland security form. And will my criminal record be a problem for me? And also I am self employed but dont make very much money. Im so confused as to what to do. Ive kept all my records pertaining to our relationship. My SSI is only about 15,000 a year. What do I have to do to get her here and marry her????

Regarding the criminal record (misdemeanor probabtion and the felony), I'd recommend just being honest with the government and with your fiancee about it, as it would come up in the government's research into your case. I don't know about a death benefit being earned income, so someone else would have to comment on that. As for income, you have to make enough money per year so that your fiancee/wife would not become a public charge (be on food stamps, wellfare, etc.). You could use another individual living in your family (child from previous marriage of working age, parent, etc.) to be a co-sponsor. So long as the total income is higher than the required amount, it won't be a problem. Or even better in your case, IF your SO has a nursing or other type of degree (or is pursuing something along those lines), you might see if a hospital or medical office would be willing to recruit nurses from the Philippines, which would allow her to come here on a work visa and marry her while she is here with that visa. Hope this is of some help.

the goverment will cut off the death benefits you get from your dead wife when you marry another person so it will not be a valid and stable source of income. i cant comment on your criminal charges because i dont know how the USCIS will consider that.

regarding the affidavit of support, i think you'll need a co-sponsor if you want to petition your fiance.

I don't see how you can support a wife now or in the near future.
