ok ok....money is important to make sure that the beneficiary wont be a public charge when she gets to the u.s.



i read some thread about being denied at the initial interview due to "insufficient income" but got an approval after the petitioner makes an objection and were able to prove that his financially capable.

would they even consider the beneficiary's profession??

so how much should the petitioner earns to prove he is fianancially stable???

pwede ba tayong mag kwentahan ng mga sweldo at assets ng petitioner dito? ha?? aber??

profession isn't considered. the bottom line is how much the person makes. monetary amounts listed here to answer your question in bold:

I provided:

- 2005, 2006, & 2007 - 1040-MISC Tax Returns
- 2005, 2006, & 2007 - 1099 Forms
- Most recent 2 months of bank statements (savings and checking)
- Letter of Deposits to Account(s) signed by bank branch manager
- Most recent IRA statement
- Life insurance policies
- 8 weeks of sales statements
- Copy of deed of house along with current appraisal amount

I'm an independent contractor so I do not get a W-2 or a paycheck. I didn't need to provide this information, nor did I need to provide a "Letter of Employment" but you will want to provide these 3 thing if you receive a paycheck.

Most of what I provided was quite excessive, but I wanted them to know that my fiancee and I are serious and to clear any and all doubts that she may be a burden to the U.S. taxpayers.

I believe what you are trying to establish is proof that you are 10% above the current poverty level. I think it's around 18k a year or something close to that.

maybe this can help..

This came up in dealing with china

uhhmm.... could u tell me where can i check the current poverty level? and how to use it? tnx!

Check this one and see if it answers your concern: http://aspe.hhs.gov/poverty/08poverty.shtml

are you sure about that number?

im confused i checked the websites and it got me confused...it says for the number of 2 persons in a family, the ideal digits would be..$17,500

ok???so wat? how will i apply that to the I-134??

That amount or higher should be reflected in your fiance's ITR or any supporting documents as stated under item II of the instruction part of form I-134.

it will also be noted under Q.7 of the I-134. here is a sample of pre-filled I-134: http://www.visajourney.com/examples/Form-I-134.pdf

you can download the current form with instructions here: http://www.uscis.gov/files/form/I-134.pdf

the expiry date of the current I-134 form on uscis website is 4-30-07 but don't worry about it, I used the form for my interview last may 21 and didn't have problem with it. my supporting document was only photocopy of my fiance's ITR.

I hope and pray that you will soon get the NOA2. God bless always.

I think it is 125% of the poverty level.




if the sponsor is the head of the family (1) and he is supporting (1) family member = 2 persons in the family. Therefore, he should have a yearly income of $17,500 to meet the minimum income requirement.

someone correct me if i am wrong

I'm not 100% sure, that's why I wrote "I believe" instead of "I'm 100% sure".
I was just trying to get the general idea out there so that you have something to use for research.

shining angel got it, it's 125% of the poverty level.

thank you guys. you are alla great help for me and my love. and d bears, tnx again.yeah were hoping for the NOA2,God willing on monday.

so it should be greater that $17,500 of the petitioner's annual income? (based on Q. 7 on I-134)

17,800 x 125% x 3 years - income is the difference needed in sell-able assets. in my case was 6000.00 x 3 years = 18,000 easily obtainable from bank statements, stock account or business... problem is US embassy does not look at assets as obtainable income. Surely I could sell my 2 BMWs on top of the financials and easily accommodate this, have to push this issue which they are more than willing to push into AR prison than to deal with the matter at hand. I am going to call the DOS and bring this issue up which is not fair to the people involved in this process.

since a K Visa is technically a nonimmigrant visa, the I-134 is used for showing income. the I-134 is subjective on the use of assets. the I-864 contains specific guidelines on the use of assets. a K Visa will be going thru AOS and using the I-864. perhaps the I-134 can be modified in some way, with specific guidelines on assets for K Visas. hopefully, then others will not have to experience what you can to go thru...

so its realy all about how much the petitioner earns in a year?? and should be greater than $17,500 annual (for 2 persons) if thats the case i guess were safe..i hope thats all it means..
