Okay thank you that gives me hope. We will try without a joint sponsor as his current income will be above poverty guidelines. Thank you so much for your help!

I have looked at the tax return too. all i see when it comes to income is this and they are all the same number as his w2: (see images) Note: he is in fact employed. I’m sorry i keep forgetting we are in 2024 already. Yes that’s what i meant. Yes i am aware that it needs to state the amount he makes per year. Thank you. I do understand but i am just worried that because he didnt meet the 2023 guidelines that i will still need a sponsorship despite the fact that i can prove that he will meet the 2024 guidelines. Because i think that the tax return is high in value. I made this post to ease my worries and to know if with what i have said before, if it will cover my grounds and if it will be enough proof to show that he will meet the 2024 guidelines if i DONT file with a joint sponsor.

The reason why im thinking about this too much is because we have now found out bc of his insurance, he did not meet the 125% 2023 poverty guidelines. We are short by a couple hundreds. So i am trying to figure out if maybe we are still fine going without a joint sponsorship. As you have mentioned before. When i will file approximately around october 2023, i will have to meet the guidelines of 2024. For the evidence i will have to include employment letter, recent tax return 2023 and other documents. If I file with those, will they give me an RFE saying he didnt meet the guidelines? Because the reason why he didnt is because he got promoted mid 2023. His income for his position now would have made enough for 2023 if he didnt got promoted mid 2023. He will also make enough for the 125% poverty in 2024 when it goes up. I would be able to prove this with the employment letter.

So bc i will file for AOS after they have posted the new 2024 guidelines, i will need to meet the 2024 guidelines. But how about 2023? Cause i will have to attach a recent tax return and if i will file for AOS in approximately October 2023, the tax return for 2024 obviously wont be available yet (as the year hasn't also ended).

If i file for i 864 in October 2023, do i need to meet the guidelines for 2024 only or for 2023 as well?

I have found the number on the tax return. Thank you! I am getting ahead to know more information.

He has filed taxes last week. The tax transcript takes a couple of weeks to generate. That’s why i’m using w2 at the moment. But from what I see is that the income on w2 and tax transcript is the same. Where do you see gross income tho? Like i only see total income and what i have mentioned previously.

Hi I have a question for the poverty income guidelines for 2023: Where do you find the income that needs to meet the guidelines on the W2 form? Is it: 1 wages, tips, other compensation? If so is that legit just that box or do you also have to calculate in other boxes? If so also isnt that then the taxable wage? And not gross income? I thought you had to look at gross income? Idk 😩 I want to add that my fiancé (petitioner) pays for insurance through his work.

You can write a letter to your congressman

Thought there would be more activity here haha since they have started december a couple weeks ago, but i will say i kinda forgot about this website. But haven’t received my noa2 yet and im not mad about it bc it’s too soon for me anyways. But i would like to receive it before December 2022 reaches 80% processed cause i feel after that God knows how long it would take.

I’d say for DS-160 i would wait till you received your case number and your status shows ready. For police certificate depends on the country or countries you need to request it from. Meaning if you know it will take several weeks from request till you actually receiving it, then you can request it now but if it’s just a few simple clicks on the government’s website (as it is for me) then i would wait. Keep in mind they also have an expiration date.

Wow took them that long to receive it!

Definitely leave 2 weeks in between your interview and medical exam. Don’t book it too early cause as soon as you have your medical exam done, you have six months to come to the usa. When the earliest availability is for your medical exam is something you need to call for yourself. Call the doctor that is approved by the US for your country tomorrow to see the availability. I would not wait long with this because there might be long waiting times.

NVC does not schedule interview dates for K1 visas. They only do that for spousal visas so ignore that. Its the embassy that schedules it for you or you have to do it on the embassy site. It depends which embassy you have.

SAME! Hahaha im glad im not the only one 🤣

Im glad!! How did it go? Did you wait two weeks before going to the SSA office?

Invoice ID is not needed. The letter NVC sends is called K1-FTP and will be emailed to the petitioner. NVC emails the letter when your case will be transferred to the beneficiary’s embassy. If you want you can ask NVC for your invoice ID but it’s not really needed.

Oh you should try to scan monday again bc i saw a lot of people had low numbers when they scanned but after a second time they had more. I know the scanner in january had that issue. But obviously you don’t need to do that ofc. Only if you want or have the time.

You can send an inquiry to NVC to ask if they have received your petition yet from USCIS. https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/visa-information-resources/ask-nvc.html What is your NOA2?

Okay noted. Thank you!

I find the answers very confusing. Should you or should you not check the boxes?

Definitely still following your updates! But have fun!!

Okay thank you!!

Thank you very much!!! I appreciate this!
