Affidavit of Support - Retired supporter

[Tompearson 3]

Hi all,

I was wondering if my support is ok if they are receiving pension and no longer working? It's roughly 40k a year. She is my fiance's mother and currently has one dependent (fiance's brother) and am unsure if I or my fiance are included as a dependent.

My fiance is a student and thus cannot provide support. I am a full time worker in the UK.

I'm just worried that any of these will be an issue. Does anyone have advice or know if this would be a reasonable source.

Thank you for all your help

Cheers

Tom

Should be OK but for the I 134 you can self sponsor.

Really? I can self sponsor.

I had no idea, I assumed money had to come from the US.

I just started full time employment and wont be getting my first paycheck for a month. Is there a minimum I amount of money I need to earn or duration of time needed for me to self support? Or any sort of savings I can show?

Sorry for all the quick questions, you just got me excited as we are having difficulty from the American end.

Thanks

I do not know what the minimum is currently, not a lot, enough it seems for 90 days. It comes up a lot so there may be recent posts mentioning a number or ask the Consulate.

A pension is income. It works just fine.

Mom's household consists of who her dependents listed on her tax return are. Your fiancé may be part of the financial "household" even of she does not live in the home. Ask Mom who's on her tax return. You as the immigrant will be part of the count.

Self-sponsoring is not about your job or salary which will not continue. It's your cash or portfolio of investments or equity in your home you will sell.
