So my fiance doesnt have much money in the bank. Will that hurt? We do have 2 cosponsers. I am just not sure if the embassy people will frown upon that or not.

The USC's income matters, the beneficary's does not.

Foreign citizen can be bankrupt, it does not matter, USCIS and embassy are concerned if US Citizen can support the foreign immigrant after they enter the USA.

Does not matter. Mostly they are concerned about your past 3 years most current IRS tax transcripts or Federal tax returns and current W2 or pay stubs of the sponsor or cosponsor. You will be fine.

As you have been told here before, the subject of the foreign fiance's finances is not of interest to the embassy.
Your fiance is not required to present any bank statement.

The UK embassy will not ask for the UK resident's bank info. My now-husband was asked to show MY bank details (I'm the USC) but they dont care if he was broke (which he was) or not.

I suppose I figured since UK people or maybe just English people can sponser themselves if they have enough saved and so on. So I figured for one to sponsor themselves they would have to show some type of bank statement. I could just be a complete idiot though.

They cannot sponsor themselves if they don't have any money
If he is broke, you will have to fill out the I-134 to sponsor him. If you do not make enough to sponsor him, have a close friend or relative co-sponsor.

Who told you that he needs to be a billionaire?
He needs to make the poverty level for the immigrant and however many dependents there are in the co-sponsor's household. At AOS, it'll be 125% of the poverty level. The poverty level is considerably low when compared to the cost of living in many places, so it's not about being a billionaire.

The billionaire statement was just me being exaggerative. All I was getting at was wondering if he doesnt make much money if the embassy people would frown upon that. I understand they worry about the US citizens income but I did hear that UK people or England people are able to sponser themselves.

That is untrue as far as I know. To become a permanent resident in the US, you need a US sponsor whether it is an employer or a qualifying family member.

It is possible to self-sponsor using assets, as many people on this board have done. K-1 beneficiaries are allowed to do this, and london in particular has no issue with this.

Ack, I did know this - I remember debating whether we could have my husband self-sponsor at AOS but since his income was earned without work auth. we didn't. But as the OP's fiance isn't self-sponsoring, it's not an issue. (This is what I get for getting up and being on VJ this early.)

And keep in mind that the povery level is very low. I don't know how you could really support two people off of that...but oh well.

Moving to consulates.
The bank statement should be fairly recent. He's resident there and gets mail there. I can't say with 100% certainty that an 'old' bank statement would get him denied, but why would he be carrying an old one? Does his bank only send out statements once a year?

Is the last 3 years of tax returns needed at the interview or the the last years return?
