OP please be sure that regardless of this post to say some embassies do not care about income or taxes... Please be sure you send the I-134 for your fiance to take to the interview, your previous tax return, letter from your employer and pay stubs.

Even if MarkPerry is right... Don't run that risk

No disrespect to him, but I intended to send the I- 134 anyway. It really would noy make sense as to why the Fiance would go to the interview without documents expressing why she wouldn't be a public charge. Regardless of what my tax return and check stubs say, I may just use my joint sponsor's help anyway. With possible and logical understanding, they'll see that I'll be meeting their requirements but also covering what possibilities of doubt that could be formed. Surely if I didn't need a co- sponsor but used one with precaution, they'd not interrupt a flowing interview and stop everything because of it.

This is something just for the Philippines only. But I would never recommend an individual going to any embassy without the required document I-134 and other evidence, regardless of if the officers there want to see it or not.

At any rate Philippine specific scenarios don't apply to the OP. His embassy looks like it will be Greece. So he's going to need the I-134. Come AOS time if he needs a joint sponsor he can certainly use one with no issues.

What is required to bring and what is asked for once you are there are two separate things. The way it was "portrayed" was that it wasn't needed/required. I wasn't asked for all items on my list at my interview. That does not mean that someone else will not be asked.

OP,

Something else to think about... have you thought about whether you will be able to support your fiancée and wife for up to a year while her greencard is processed? Even more if she can't find work after she gets her papers. Making just at the 125% may be just enough to support 1 person, but two?

Just something to think about.

We'll be fine. My line of work (Pharmaceutical Technician) has given me quite a bit of opportunities. I can expect my income to build through the years [if i keep working hard at what I do.] until I reach a "cap out".

My current annual income (by the time I send i- 134 ) will be 1,000+ over the 125%. I just gotta be sure to make sure the Officer conducting the interview knows that.
