My fiance and I will be filing our i-129 in the next few weeks. I'm graduating college just now, so if I get a sufficient job before his interview, will that be sufficient for satisfying the i-134? even though My past few years, I havne't made enough since i've only been working part time and in college full time?? also, My parents individually don't make enough to be a co-sponsor, but i believe together their combined income may be enough (they file taxes jointly) , could they , as their household, be the co-sponsor?? any help would be appreciated, i literally am so upset right now , stressing, trying to figure this all out!! I just want to get the ball rolling, so we can be in the same stinkin country , finally.

The affidavit of support isn't required until the interview, so there is time to secure a job that meets the income requirement. A joint sponsor is usually accepted, however when using the form I-134 (typically used with K visa petitions) there is no combining of incomes. Any joint sponsor would have to meet the income requirement on their own.

Later at the adjustment of status phase a different affidavit of support (I-864) is used. That form does allow for incomes to be combined to meet the requirement.

Ok, so even though my 3 years of tax transcripts don't display enough income, if my current income is enough, that will be acceptable?

It may be. The interviewing officer is the one that makes the decision.

The reason they have these guidelines in place is to make sure that the USC has the minimum means to support their fiancee/spouse while they are in the process of securing their work papers which can take 6+ months, depending on how soon after arrival you get married.

Have you thought about how you will support him if you are not able to find a job quickly, since you don't meet the minimum amount required? I know this is hard to hear, but maybe think about postponing filing the petition until you are in a better position financially.

I have job offers lined up, so that's not the issue. I will have more than enough money to support us, till his green card is through ,etc. It just more an issue of since my tax returns don't show i make much money in the past (because of being a student). My new paycheck stubs will be more than sufficient amount to cover us,

If you can show that you recently graduated and a history (a few months at least) of income, any reasonable IO should accept that. But they are not all reasonable, so it depends on who you get.

Ok thanks! Would that also be acceptable for the i-864 , when that comes around??

London is not as demanding as other embassies. See this page >>>> http://london.usembassy.gov/faffidavit.html

Past tax returns are not the key. Current and continuing income is what is most important.
