how much money do i need to have?

[T & N 0]

hello again to all,

here i am, lost in the sauce, i was wondering how much money i need to have to be approved for the K-1 visa to go through. i have a pretty good job, and i am able to work just about as much overtime as i would like, but i was wondering if i needed to have a certain amount of funds in my bank, along with having a stable job that can provide for the two of us in the future. any help with this matter would be greatly appreciated, and thank you all so much for all the help and information you have given us

thanks,

terry

No need for money in the bank as long as you make enough income. If you are in mainland USA and it's just the two of you (no kids or other dependants), you'll need 20'000 to be comfortable over the povertyline.

here are the poverty guidelines, you need to be at 100% for the filing with the k1, and 125% for the filing with the AOS
