    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.
