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:
Are the tax transcripts coupled with the last 6 months of paystubs sufficient on their own?
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.
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.
