House hold size.

You plus fiance, plus anyone else you live with or who is coming with your fiance.

If its only you two then your house hold is two.

If its you and 3 kids and him then your house is 5.

If its you and him and your fiances 2 kids coming. Then its 4.

I'm still confused. Which consulate am I supposed to check? He is from Cameroon and living in Korea. Do we need to check with the consulate in Korea, Cameroon, or a consulate here?

Hi,

My husband is a Cameroonian as is your fiancé. He is in Germany now as a student. I am USC like you living in US. Since he is not living in Cameroon, their regulations will not be affecting you, just like in our case. You need to be at 125%. If you have not met these same guidelines last three tax seasons, you will most likely need a co-sponsor. Make sure to check with the embassy he will interview at to see if they accept a co-sponsor before beginning this process. If they do not your only option at this point in time would be to go ahead and get married and then apply for CR-1 like my hubby and I did. Personally I meet the financial requirements now but did not in past 3 years. I got a letter from my employer to strengthen my case and included my paystubs and tax transcripts. However even with those documents I still felt my case was week. There is no way for you to know whether you will require one until the visa interview. Therefore, I went ahead and got a co-sponsor now instead of taking chances on having to get one later. Resubmitting paperwork that will cause us delays was not a chance I was willing to risk. So basically you need to get your current income up to 125% at the time of your AOS. If you have been at one or either of your jobs at that time then you need to get a letter of employment (i have an example of one if you would like it). I would highly recommend you get a co-sponsor! Better safe than sorry! As far as adjustment of status , I can’t help you on that one. I have not gotten that far in the process. Also are steps are a bit different since you are trying for a K-1 and we did a CR-1. I hope this helps you. If I can help with anything else or have any questions or just simply need clarification just let me know. Also a bit of advice would be to fill out for timeline. It really helps to answer your questions when we know what stage your at. Also you need to change your country profile to Korea and not Cameroon since he will be interviewed their.

Blessings, Heidi

you need a co-sponsor but personally, if you can't afford to get married, don't...but who am i????

The costs of the entire process surprised me but I was glad to have the funds. The 125% is one thing but the filing fees, AOS fees, not to mention medical exam, documents like birth cert and police certs, any shots needed, plane flight, you name it. It adds up fast and doesn't seem to have an end in site. Be prepared, and you may wish to go to night school or other options to get well above the 125% amount. Personally I think the 125% is way short of what we really need to get by and they are very generous to only want us to earn that little.
