The title pretty much says it all. We just started the K1 process but I want to have my ducks in a row by the time we get to this step. I checked and I make plenty for them to approve the K1 visa however I'm only a few thousand shy of reaching the 125% for the adjustment of status so of course with my ex husband knowing I'm including the child support he pays me each month. It would put me well over what I would need. I plan on including a notarized letter with him and myself signing stating he pays it monthly and has never missed a payment, our court ordered papers stating what he is required to pay, copies of his checks he writes out to me, and bank statements showing where they have been cashed.
Do I just add this as my overall income since the checks are written out to me OR do I write it in the section for other's income used I.E. "child's name C/O my name"?
I have looked into this and despite the 50/50 of people saying yes you can consider child support, no you can not. You actually can. I have checked on the USCIS website. I included the link it's under part 6 and from what I can tell by that I just add it onto my income but I would like to get feedback from someone who has actually dealt with this.
Thanks in advance!
