Interview question for London Embassy

Hi All,

Have a quick question for anyone who has had an interview in London for K-1 visa. Has anyone had them look at the I-134 sponsorship information or pay slips very closley there? I have heard they do not look at that very hard there and consider it as something dealt with at the AOS stage. I just wonder because we do not have a sponsor and my (USC) income from my 2011 tax return isn't enough but my income this year will be enough. This is causing some stress and want to know if anyone has had any issues with it.

Thanks in advance.

Yes, that is one of the main things they look at. But if you've got an adequate income, London won't discuss it at all. I have known people to be sent to find another sponsor. If your pay slips show enough, they don't hold you to last year's tax return income.

I think that people on VJ (and maybe elsewhere) are led to believe the rules of the I-864 apply to the I-134. Not really. There is nothing in the law that says anything more than the officer must believe you won't become a public charge in those few months before you get settled in, a greencard, and a job. People are approved on 100% of the poverty guidelines, with or without a tax return, or by using the immigrant's savings. So in that sense, maybe London goes with that flow while other consulates might make a huge deal of it and get out thier calculators.
