Hi everyone,
My fiancé's tax return for 2016 is less than poverty level. If we don't want to have cosponsor, is it possible to go with savings or it is risky? How the savings should look like? If there is a big deposit will it look suspicious? and if not can i  put my biological mothers husband as my co sponsor will it look good. he owns good assets but due to disabilities he don`t file tax returns. guys plz helps us out we need ur help... 

looking forward for your all replies 

thank you

The amount of savings (assets) you need depends on the difference between your fiance's income and 125% of the poverty line.  What is his income amount?

 

Why would there be a big deposit?  Be careful here, if you are talking about having someone else deposit money into an account temporarily for immigration purposes and then withdrawing it later on, you might run into legal ramifications.

 

If you have a cosponsor, your cosponsor needs to prove they have income that meets or exceeds 125% of the poverty line.  Cosponsors cannot use assets to qualify.

as per her last income tax she filed $14911

Correction - You need to show income or assets or a combination of the two at a 100% level of the poverty line for a K-1 visa - not 125%.  If you use assets, they need to be five times the poverty line or five times the difference in income and the poverty line.  

 

In 2017, the poverty line for a household with 2 people is $16,240.  So, you would need approximately $6,645 in assets - ($1,329 x 5).

 

However, you will need to meet the 125% requirement only a few months later when you file for the green card, after getting married.

 

This explains it fairly well -
