hello

I would like some insights about my fiance's ITR it shows very low income, does any one experienced during USEM interview bout fiance's low income??? I'm a bit worried my fiance's self employed and he fixed his income ever since before he met me as low income. do I get deny because of his low income??? do we need co sponsor?? actually his making a lot of money, do u think money in his bank will be a help to back up his low income?? i need some advise and I'm so worried for my upcoming interview...

One of the causes of any visas placed in AR is the income not meeting the 125% poverty guidelines. This is not just from USEM, but a requirement set by the government that the intending applicant will not be a public charge. I suggest that your fiance will use a co-sponsor and/ or include what other assets such as properties, bank statements, etc. to meet the poverty guidelines

Good luck!

If his income is below the poverty guidelines he will need a sponsor

as has been stated, what the CO will what to determine is that you will not become a public charge once here in the USA. assets can be used to make up an income short fall. I didn't see any guidelines in the I-134 as to how much assets would be required. I would suggest using what is in the I-864. minimum income required for household size minus income from ITR. multipy the difference times five for the amount of assets required. have the documentation to back up those assets.

what if he doesnt have assetsbut he has money in the bank. he live alone he has kids but live with the mother. so it mean his household size is one?

Household size is 2. Him and you!
If he pays child support or declares them on his ITR them he may have more problems.
Best to get a co sponsor.

my question is do we really need co-sponsor which in fact he can show asset like converted to cash! like money in his bank???

All depends on how much money in assets he has and how much money in the bank he has. Also how much he is making a year.

hi there...i just read somewhere here that co-sponsors are not allowed in Manila? is it true? correct me if im wrong please...and what other countries that are not allowed to have co-sponsor and is it for all types of visa or just for the K1? thanks so much....

his paying child support his 2006 ITR 13,292 ive heard USEM dnt like co sponsor.

You can use a co-sponsor, but adviseable to use someone within the family~ parents, siblings. Your immediate relative in other words.

Co-sponsor will save you from being on AR or denial. Like what they said, co-sponsor would come from immediate relatives.

His household size is not 2. He must include dependent children under the age of 18 whether or not they are on his income tax return.

He must include the children in the household size even if they do not live with him.

the thing is he making a lot of money evry year but he didnt truthfully declare it but he has money in his bank.

some forum says only pettitioner is the sponsor and said USEM dnt impress with co sponsor but I've know someone K-1 and they have co-sponsor and they are approved i dnt know. only God knows during my interview because we cant get any co sponsor only his bank account will help to cover up his ITR shortfall.

correct me if im wrong ... they said counting household when your children or relatives live with you within 6 mons. thus his children didnt live with him.

correct me if im wrong K-1 is 100% and 125% is for AOS or immigrant visa right? im still processinf K-1 so i have to meet the 100% right???

The household size is most clearly defined in the instructions for the I-485 which will eventually need to be addressed. Nowhere in any instruction or rule is it mentioned that children only count if they live with you 6 months. On the contrary, the I-485 instruction specifically state that they count even if they don't live with you.

Although the percentages apply when adjusting status and for immigrant visas (100% for military, 125% for others), no specific percentage of the poverty level is ascribed to the consulate evaluation of the support requirement for a non-immigrant visa.

enlighten me if his children live with their mother and he pays child support does it mean that his child are dependent of his ITR? but theyre not married. counting of house hold member his children is counted even not live with him?

Read on page 2 of the I-864 instructions: How Do I Count Household Size?



dependent children and any other dependents listed on the ITR are separate items.
