Using assets as part of income on I-134 for K-1 visa

Hi there. I was wondering if anyone else used assets as part of their income on their I-134 affidavit of support due to being under 100% poverty guidlines?

You might want to raise the bar to 125% of the poverty guidelines as that is what is required after marriage for filing the I-864. Why go thru all the trouble to get the K-1 and have your fiancé(e) come to the US only to not be able to file the adjustment of status (AOS) because you are below the 125% level.--it is only $19,663 so you would only need 3X the short fall because you are sponsoring your spouse or you would need $11,796 in assets to make up the difference between the 100% level and the 125% level. If you cannot come up with this, I would strongly suggest you find a co-sponsor now so you are not scrambling to find one after marriage.

Good luck,
