Is Juarez strict with finances?

[thaiv 15]

From what I have ready about Juarez, they are not too strict with finances and sometimes simply take the financial proof without looking much into it. My issue is that by the time we go to the interview our past years tax return will not meet the 125% poverty level because half of the year I was in school which leaves me with about 10k that I made at work for 2010. I am petitioning a K1 visa just for my fiancee with no other dependents. Also I have no financial burdens, debts or anything. I am currently working at a job full time permanent, I had since October with a yearly salary of 40k, well above the 18k poverty line.

I would think that since I just graduated from college, am young, and can write a letter clarifying my tax returns, this should not be an issue. Its just after reading a post from someone that was denied a visa from the Manila consulate for financial reasons (even though currently they meet the requirements, but the year before they didn't) I feel a bit uneasy.

Can somebody give me some insight specifically about the consulate in Juarez? I just need to know if present income is sufficient or if they really dig into your financial history.

Current and continuing income is what is measured. If you are currently employed with a job earning a $40K annual salary you will be fine (unless there is a large household involved).

This is what I thought but someone said they were recently denied a visa at the Manila consulate because their most recent tax return did not show sufficient income even though they are currently making above the poverty guidelines.

Is this a Manila thing only? This really concerns me that they would be so strict on someone. It bothers me because I did not make money the past two years. Only since October do I have a job. But this is only because I was a student and I have transcripts to prove it. Thus according to the I-864 I could write a letter explaining this.

So this is why I ask specifically for Juarez. From what I have ready they do not dig to much into the financial side of things. But has anyone that went to Juarez experienced something contrary?

They look at your current income. When I filed for my now husband I used a cosponsor who made about that much. I was still in school and living abroad so I had no income at the time. If you have any questions feel free to ask. We went about a year ago and he is a green card holder now. Good luck

Hello MrsBocanegra, Ive been noticing that you always provide useful and accurate information thats why I felt free to ask the following:

a) My fiance is currently looking for a job so we will obviously need co-sponsors (her parents in this case), so the question is:

Which forms does her parents need to fill out? Just the I-134 ? I noticed that theres this OF167 "form" on the CDJ website but i guess its ok if i just take the I-134 form right?

b) This is maybe a dumb question but... does she (my fiancee) needs to fill out this form as well?

According to our timeline, I think Ill show up at the consulate on February but i just want to make sure I have all the forms Ill need before going to Ciudad Juarez.

Thanks in advance

a) The OF167 just states what you can use to prove the applicant will not become a public charge. Juarez does not specifically ask for any affidavit of support, but we still filled out the I134 and took that.

b) Yes, she still should fill it out even though she does not work. I know it seems silly but you never know they may ask for it. I filled it out even though I used a cosponsor.
