My fiance is 19, Can She Apply for K-1

[pushbrk 13,418]

Both of us?

Start with the guides. It will become more clear. Whatever route you take, it is the US Citizen who files the initial petition and has the better frame of reference to understand the procedures and instructions you'll both be reading. Visits will most likely be her visiting Jamaica, not you visiting the USA. Time to start reading far far more than you post.

IMPORTANT:

If the Petitioner (US citizen who puts forth the K-1 Visa application) does not earn an income that is equal to or greater than 125% of the US Census designated 'Poverty Threshold' for two persons, approximately, $14,570 for two people w/o children under the age of 65. At 125% of poverty threshold, one will need to make $18212 USD. If your loved one did not make this amount or greater for 2009 taxes, or until he/she makes this much money you will get turned down!

Sources:

1. Me, I was in college and a foreign embassy required evidence of a means to support the beneficiary (my fiancee). I had to wait until I finished college until I began making income. It took me three years to bring my fiancee over. I was a US military member, so I only needed to meet 100% of the poverty threshold which was AWESOME!!!!!

Congrats Adam on your recent approval

If the OP wants to do some research, the official form that describes these Poverty Guidelines is available at the USCIS.gov website. Click on forms then scroll down to I-864P and download it. Check back from time to time as they do update things occasionally.

Ahh I got it finally. Childhood friends, separated for years, find each other, ohh I get goosebumps - its the making of a great love story.

The good news is your both young. I can imagine how much you are anticipating your upcoming meeting.

We are obviously not your parents or family but I would recommend seeing how things go after your meeting. You have time, I know nobody want to hear that but in reality you have some challenges ahead. I don't know how difficult the Jamaican consulate is but I dont think its a puchover.

Your really going to want to establish a very strong case for yourselves. You have options and time to think about them and read and learn about the process of immigration through fiancee or spousal petition and visa.

Establishing the proof required may take more than one visit, may not.

Others who have been throught he Jamaican consulate can give you a better idea there.

In any case, I wish you both the best. As you move along and learn, and after your meeting, make sure you keep us posted (if you'd like).

If your love is true it will be forever and no time or distance can remove it.

It's no walk in the park, referring to the above quote. What part of JA are you from? Now, for my adult voice...MS.19 needs to carefully read these guidelines. I know no one wants to be told what to do, but since she is not posting, you understand what this means, "He who not listern, must feel".

I would recommend that you'll have that first visit before you think about marriage and filing a visa petition. My comment to you, is if you are indeed 20, forget about all of those MTV video's you have seen about America, it just ain't so.

I might be young but the way i think is not like a normal 20 year old..But anyway we will be looking at the guides and forms together and with some help from you guys we will decide whats best for us.. And we not rushing anything we Just want to get everything in the right position so when we file it wont be too difficult..

Thank You all for the replies will keep everyone up to date with all that is happening..
