    I have healthcare through the healthcare.gov marketplace. The government pays for some/most of my monthly insurance cost. When my fiancee arrives here, and before she gets her green card, will she be able to join my plan or get her own insurance? I'm concerned since I believe this is considered government assistance and from my understanding of the I-864, the government won't provide any assistance to her? Would I no longer get deductions on my health insurance if she joins my plan?

    Sounds exactly like my fiancee and her daughter (8 years old). Her daughter effectively/legally has no father. Good luck to the both of us that it doesn't harm us getting accepted in some way.

    I believe any forms submitting only need to be true on the date they are signed. Any changes afterwards aren't necessary to update.

    Probably the biggest difference between what is considered a residence vs a non-residence is if he had personal mail sent to the address or not. I would certainly say any location he had personal mail sent to him at would be considered a residence.

    I got a 2nd job making $12/hr now. 😄 I should easily reach ~$30k/yr threshold now, and if not, my savings will only grow higher by the time we get to that step, so it should make up for any small shortcoming.

    income alone is just a bad measure, imo. There is a biiiiiiig difference between having to pay $2,700 for an average 1 BR apartment in los angeles vs paying a $550 mortgage in Alabama. And as soon as my fiancee is allowed to work, she'll be working too, so its not like I need to support her and her daughter alone for the rest of my life. My previous year was a lot better, $41k lol Thats interesting to know its not a hard rule. I'll definitely be looking to increase my income now. I didn't have too much motivation before, but now I do.

    I read this https://citizenpath.com/faq/use-assets-i-864/ So as long as I boost my income a little bit (it'll definitely be higher this year, 2022 was an unusually bad year), I should be able to make up the ~$10,000 difference with my ~$50k in cash and stock assets, right?

    thanks, I read over some of it. I'm fairly certain I have people who will help us with that part. I feel a little better now. I've only just started. I'm sending out the first form on monday.

    Thank you for the replies. Being self employed, I write off as many expenses as I can, which makes my income appear lower than a regularly employed person. I also have low expenses since my monthly house payments are only $550. How does the joint sponsor work?

    I'm a little confused; Is there an income requirement during the k-1 visa process? I've seen mentions of it but its kinda hard for me to understand exactly. I'm right now finishing up the i-129f form so I can bring my fiancee and her daughter to America from Malaysia. Me and her are both self-employed. She is probably best described as living in poverty. For me.. its very complicated. Last year, my "total income" was technically only $14.5k. But, I also own a house (currently worth $150k) and have a stock account currently worth $47,000. I also have a few thousand in my checking account. I have no debts, aside from ~$50k house mortgage. So I am "income poor" but "asset rich" I guess. Is that bad, or doesn't matter?

    I'm using the government tool that does the same thing for free https://tsg.phototool.state.gov/photo well, not the "formats it to print 4 2x2 photos" part, but I have photoshop for that.

    ok.. that makes a lot of sense. I was feeling a little stressed. Thank you

    According to the I-129F form, I need photos "printed on thin paper with a glossy finish, and be unmounted and unretouched. The color passport-style photos must be 2 by 2 inches." But I can't find anywhere that offers this. I can take the photo myself, but I can't find anywhere to get them printed. I checked walmart, staples, walgreens, and CVS, but none of them offered 2x2 inch images, except for walmart, but their photos are matte, not glossy.
