I134 help!!!

[Tina Xu 1]

My fiance is a student and he's only starting to work during June last year. So he is working in the morning and go to college in the evening. He's working 40 hours per week but he has to wait until 1 year to get his permanent letter. His tax return last year was 8500 for income before tax. So his mom is willing to help us to be a cosponsor. He's living with his parents and his sister. His sister is older than 18 at the moment. His mum is working in a nail salon and her previous tax income is $21,000. They own a house in Texas which has a market value at 120k. How do you count for the HHS poverty? Can anyone please help me? What do we need for the support documents? Two to three of his most recent pay stubs and a signed letter from your employer listing you job title, start date, your salary, and the status (full-time) of his position?

Thanks for taking your time

Yes, he needs to list his current income, not what is on his 2012 tax return. A letter from employer and recent pay stubs prove that income amount.

Is it best to find a co-sponsor that meets the income requirement for their own household size plus the foreign fiance(e). Her income is $21k. So if I count for the household size: my fiance, his parents, his sister and me => 5 people => $27,570. Is it right? So if his mom does not have that amount can she use her asset instead?

Thanks

Co-sponsor (mom) + you = 2

Neither your fiancé or his sister are dependents of their mom.

You need to find someone else that meets the requirement. It is a household of 3, herself, her husband and you, the beneficiary. That is $24,412. IF your consulate will take 100% of the poverty level instead, then she would be ok as she would only need $19,530. Your fiance and his adult sister are not counted in the household size for his mother, the co-sponsor unless she claims them on her taxes. You may want to ask in your regional forum about whether or not your consulate accepts 100% for the affidavit or wants to see 125%. A lot of consulates want 125%, even when using the I-134.

Your fiance has been working full time for a year now. Does he not earn enough for a household of 2, you and him? If he makes enough, he does not need a co-sponsor. What he currently makes is most important, not what he made last year Most consulates understand about being a student and having a lower income while going to school. Have his employment letter state his job position, how long he has worked there and how much he earns, He can also provide most recent pay stub(s) to prove his current income. For instance, if he makes $10 an hour at 40 hours a week, that is $400 a week. Multiplied by 52 weeks, the gross current income is $20,800.

For pay stubs, do we need to submit original pay stubs or copies of the pay stubs?

Copies.

So my fiance makes $10 an hour and working at 40 hours a week. His company said he has to wait until he worked there for 1 year to become a permanent worker. But he took 2 weeks holiday to visit me last year so he has to wait for 2 more weeks. And he makes $10/hour and 40hours working a week. So he just needs to get a letter from his employment letter state his job position and how long he has worked there and how much he earns? So I just need to ask him to get 3 recent pay stubs and I don't need to show his tax income last year. Is it right? Can I also ask for all of the document like his passport, citizenship, do we need to copy it and then notarize it. Or he just needs to get a copy. Thanks for taking your time

If he makes $10 an hour working 40 hours a week, then he makes enough to sponsor you with his household size of 2. Does he have time before your interview to wait the 2 weeks for the letter from his employer so it would state his position is permanent? If not, could he get one that just stated his starting date and salary? That added with pay stubs should be enough to prove his current income. Yes, he should still include his 2012 tax transcript in case they ask for it. He does not need to prove his citizenship. He already did that with that the I-129F petition. Only a co-sponsor needs to provide proof of being a US citizen or permanent resident.

Thanks heaps for your help Kay Actually he did not notarise his Us citizen when we handed in i129f. We are still waiting for NOA2 and we just want to prepare for the other packet.
