If you are receiving workers comp or other disability payments, send copies of those check stubs.

If you are the USC, you are NOT filing the K-1. A K-1 is a visa. You are petitioning for the determination of eligibility of an alien fiance(e) to apply for a K-1 visa in the future.

FWIW, Proof of income not required with the I-129F submission... that comes later at the consulate interview

certificate number = NONE if none is indicated

Workmans comp IS acceptable income, provided you have the documentation from the state (or insurance company) your claim is approved and check stubs showing you are paid. You ARE still "employed" but not working. "Working" and "employed" are not the same thing. You can list your employer AS your employer and your income as your normal annual income. Your benefit may be slightly less than your normal "gross" income but it not consequential if the benefit exceeds the guidelines.

Attach a copy of your "First report of injury" and the state or insurance company calculation of your benefit. If you do not have these forms, ask for them. They are required to provide them if you ask. Attach copies of your check stubs. No problem.

We need to clarify things here.

The I-129f is NOT a visa application and is NOT "K-1 papers". It is a petition to request the opportunity for your fiancee to apply for the K-1 visa. For the I-129f petition you do not need to send any employment of financial information.

When the petition is approved, it will be sent to the foreign consulate where your FIANCEE will apply for a K-1 visa. THAT is when she needs to have the financial and employent information. Probably 6 months or more from when you file the petition.

ok so i will need to send the info to her for later regarding my income?

[iLoveAPolishGirl 0]

yes, or to the embassy directly, depending on the embassy and your choice. If you are back to working by then the point becomes moot

Yes, exactly. She will need it for her visa application interview. Send it a few weeks before. If you are back to work then, the workmans comp is a moot point, if not, it can be used as income as it is gauranteed and the laws require you be re-instated at your position or equivilent position

Not trying to bite the newbies, but as people mentioned above, you should not be "sending in" the K-1 anywhere. The K1 is a visa. If you have a K1, then you are not a citizen of the United States and you have it attached to the back of your passport.

If you clarify what stage of the game you are at you will get much better advice.
