Question on Affidavit of Support

[Van Sanico 0]

I came across your website as I was browsing through some pages to get answers from my inquiry.

I hope you could assist me with my inquiry.

My fiancee and I are planning to process a K1 Visa for me next. She is a US Citizen and I am a Filipino Citizen.
I read the USCIS website and checked the requirements and I have a question on the Financial Support part.
She had been living with her father eversince and has not really worked.
I know she needs to meet a required amount as her annual income that's why we have talked about her starting to look for a job in 2016.
With this, do we still need to get the 1040 and W-2 for 2015 before we could start the process? Also, I read somewhere that what they really need is 3 years worth of 1040 and W-2s. Is this correct?

Any inputs on this is greatly appreciated.

By the time you would interview for the K-1, you would need to be meeting the income requirement and fill out an I-134. You can provide a letter from employer and/or recent pay stubs to prove your current income meets the requirement. Manila also requires your most recent 1040 and W-2.

so with our situation, since she doesn't have 1040 and W-2, we really need to wait for that right? but does it really have to be 3 years worth of 1040 and w-2?

You only need the most recent tax return and W2. You don't need 3 years.

hi zedayn.. that's what i thought.. but then i was told somewhere else that the US Embassy would look into 3 years worth of financial information... that's why i'm now confused... hehehe

USEM only requires the most recent year. This is specific to Manila. Other embassies may do things differently, and some may require 3 years. But USEM does not, only the most recent year is needed.

You don't need to present a tax return to start the I-129F petition process, but you will when everything reaches the actual visa application process in Manila. 2016 is two years away, the first tax return wouldn't show up until 2017. The embassy will look for evidence that you will not become a public charge, so your fiancee will need to have income to meet the requirements of the I-864P

Only need the most recent tax return, not 3 years.
