Hi

I am so confused.

My NOA 2 is passed and waiting for the case number so i can book my medical.

I am now getting all the required documents ready for the interview.

My Fiancee has cancer and does not work, she is on government welfare.

She will have to be my first main sponsor. her benefits are $9000.

i know i need another joint sponsor, he has to be 125% poverty level $19,387.

what do they mean by a family size? on the poverty level ? hes single with no kids, and lives with his parents.

Also my fiancee did not file any tax returns last year, what do i do there?

i will also take my own money, would this help in the interview?

I hope someone can shed some light

Many Thanks in Advance

Each consulate has their own way of doing things so what you have read people from other countries do may not apply to you in the UK. Here are your London instructions http://london.usembassy.gov/iv_15.html

Attend the medical is not the first step.

London will accept another sponsor in lieu of your fiancé since she doesn't work. London does not insist on tax returns with other proof of income. Your fiancé has to fill out nothing. Get it all from the other sponsor. You may self-sponsor in London with enough assets or an income that will continue in the US. There is no published amount. One sponsored himself because he had a house sale pending. I've seen $40,000 Cash accepted. Another was accepted with $8000 cash and proof that he receives regular money from phone apps he created that continue to sell and generate revenue. It is a judgement call by the officer on interview day.

All you write is of a concern when you apply for adjustment of status in the US. The form I864 has stricter specific requirements like your wife and a joint sponsor each do a form. Your joint sponsors household size as a single adult is 2...himself plus you the immigrant. Your wife can submit a statement why she was not required by the IRS to file (no income) and submit that instead of a tax return. Everything mentioned in this paragraph is for later, after you are married, not for a K1 visa interview in London, and a head's up that it will be more strict to get a greencard.

To be honest, it doesn't look adequate to me. You are trying to convince a government official you will not become a public charge (supported on welfare by tax money). Your fiancé is supposed to be able to support you and all she has to bring to the table is a welfare check from the government? Do you see the irony in that?

And your joint sponsor...only works part time? Does not earn the poverty level?

It is a decision made by the officer so who knows for sure.
