I have lurked alot, but now i need the advice of the VJ members. I live in Hawaii and filing a K1 visa for my fiance in PI. The thing is from 2001-2006 i was kinda poor, and no where near the 20,000 threshold for the 134. However I will most likely get a job with the TSA in may or june. So i was wondering if they would look at job at its 35,000 a year salary and approve the visa? I can get my parents to co-sponsor, but it seems that the consulate does not approve of this. Therefore should i worry about that, which would be 9 months down the road, and just file and pray?

I dont know for sure, but if you have a letter from your employer and 2 paystubs, I'm pretty sure they will approve you, if i remember right. I got lucky as i was kind of in the same boat as you. I had no income from 2002 to 2005 so i didnt file any tax returns, then i made 22,000 in 2006 and i was lucky that i didnt need to send in the I-134 until this year, so i got to use a 2006 tax return to help my case out. If you are getting a job in may or june, make sure you save all your pay stubs and send ALL of them with your i-134. I know they say just send two, but better to overkill than underkill right? Its going to be a close call for you, but if you love her, you gotta go for it.

Yeah that is what i have been hearing, thnaks for the info. If they CO looks at what I will make in the future, too then no problem. Also with that job I have to be very law abiding or loose my job. Yeah by then i should have saved over 10,000 dollars as well.
