Affidavit form K-1 Visa , New Job

[Herz22 0]

I just started my new job a month ago, I am wondering how many months of work do they need to see for it to be considered a "stable" income.

I heard that 3 pay stubs will be sufficient, is that true?

Anyone?

You mean that 3 month of working would be enough? I also attach myself to this question.

Well yes 3 months or 6 pay stubs (if 2 paychecks per week).

I was thinking that perhaps showing 4 or 5 months of work plus a letter from the employer may be sufficient ?

Anyone?

This is going to depend solely on the CO. No one can give a specific amount of pay stubs you need to show, or a specific amount of months that will definitely be enough time to be considered stable and ongoing. The more time you have at the job, the better. A letter from the employer stating the job is permanent can help.

I suggest you include the previous year tax return or transcript. Additionally get a letter from all your banks indicating total deposits over the last year. Provided your current income meets the standards & you provide the tax return & bank letter. The short work period should not be a problem. The key is does your previous and current income meet the poverty standards.

When you order your tax transcripts, get the last three years. you will need them for the AOS later.

For reference, look at the I-864 instructions

I just graduated from College and started working so there will not be any work history for last year, and this is my first decent job.

Are you saying that in order to do adjustment of status I must have 3 years of tax transcripts shown??

Basically, to make it more clear.....

I started my first, new, decent job this year so my past financial history will not be impressive nor even meet their standards, so including last year's transcript or this year's transcript would not be very beneficial.

My evidences that I will use is my current income (which is well above the poverty line), I will use perhaps 4 or 5 months worth of pay stubs, and a letter from my employer.

Hopefully this will be sufficient?

I do not know what consulate you will be going through. Many of them require a tax transcript from the most recent year. The fact that the income is well above the requirement will be very helpful in the CO accepting your financials. They also tend to be understanding and accepting of recent graduates that just began working.

When it comes time for AOS, you will need to provide the total income amount from your last 3 years of taxes. If you did not file in any of the last 3 years, then you provide a statement as to why you were not legally required to file.

As long as your monthly income works out to 125% of the poverty level for two people, and the pay stubs is all you have, then that is all you can produce.
