Hi good day to all. Im very thankful of this site. The informations are very helpful. Me and my American fiancee decided to apply for a K1 visa. His gross income was great and it showed to his tax returns but the thing is he owed the IRS but its taken care of. He have a checking account but he dont have a savings account because the IRS will take it. My question is, is it necessary to have both checking and savings so we can file the K1 visa? His checking account he just put small money in there but if when u look at his tax returns it turns so good. If checking account is not just enough what we will do? What will be our options? We were about to send the K1 visa package but we dont want to throw money away and we were very afraid that the USCIS will denied the application. We were so inlove to each other and wants to start our lives together. If the checking account ain't just enough to prove that he can support me and i won't be a public burden is anybody out there know an option that he can have a savings account but the IRS cant take it? We really need help. We're looking help everywhere but found none. Is anybody out there can help us with this matter. I really hope this site will help us. We were very very thankful for your help.

I don't see why there would be any reason to need a savings account in order to get a visa, or even a bank account at all, except to pay the fees. So no, you guys will not be denied because he does not have a savings account. I currently only have a checking account and there have been no problems.

However, it does sound kind of weird that the IRS issues have been "taken care of" but you are still worried that the IRS will take money from a savings account.

Hi good day to all. Im very thankful of this site. The informations are very helpful. Me and my American fiancee decided to apply for a K1 visa. His gross income was great and it showed to his tax returns but the thing is he owed the IRS. Lately, he sent payment and send a letter and hoping he can make a deal with them that atleast he will let him put some money on the savings account. The IRS said they will answer him for one and a half a month or two and we dont even know if they will agree thats why were seeking help now.

He have a checking account but he dont have a savings account because the IRS will take it.We have everything altogether just that savings account that he dont have.

Is it necessary to have both checking and savings so we can file the K1 visa? On his checking account he just put a small money in there but if when u look at his tax returns it turns so good.

You don't need a savings account - they won't even look at your bank information. They will only need to see tax returns and probably proof of ongoing income (like pay stubs, employment letter, etc.) Don't worry about a savings account as long as his income is over 125% of poverty level.

If he's worried about the IRS seizing his bank accounts then it doesn't sound like he's got the situation under control yet.

The petition won't be denied because he owes money to the IRS.

The consulate may discover the debt, and they may choose to use this information in making the public charge determination. One scenario I've heard quoted on this forum is that they might offset his total annual income by the total IRS debt. In other words, if his tax return shows he made $25,000, and he had an IRS debt of $10,000, they might consider his income to be only $15,000.

If his IRS debt is sizable compared to his annual income, and the formula described above would make him unqualified to be a sponsor, then they might ask you to find a co-sponsor or deny the visa, depending on the consulate. You didn't tell us what country you're from, but some US consulates are very reluctant to accept a co-sponsor for a K visa.

On the other hand, if he's still well qualified even after deducting his IRS debt from his annual income then you shouldn't have anything to worry about.

I specifically avoided using the word "tax" above because you didn't say why the IRS is taking collection action against him. If his debt is the result of taxes owed, then the scenario I described above is pretty much the only way it might affect the visa process. However, if the debt is the result of unpaid child support, and if the amount of the debt is more than $2500, then the State Department could suspend his passport. He would be unable to leave the US. At many consulates, it can help considerably if the petitioner goes to the interview with the beneficiary. At a few consulates, it's critical that the petitioner attend.
