Yes, you will need to supply an I-134 affidavit of support. If you do not have a US based income then you will need to find another US citizen or LPR to be a joint sponsor along with you. This is needed at both the K1 visa stage and for the Adjustment of Status after marriage in order to get a green card.

Also, if you have been working outside the US you may still need to have filed income tax returns. The US taxes on worldwide income. So do some checking as this will be needed for the I-864 Affidavit of Support. You may not need to pay any tax if you paid Mexican income tax. But you may still be required to file.

Do some reading in the Mexico, Latin America, South America forum to learn specifics about what you need to prepare for the interview in CDJ. The instructions are for the immigrant. They need to supply the criminal and medical information.

Do some reading, it seems that you have a lot to learn to obtain the visa without problems or delays.

The financial support of the immigrant is one of the big "can;t get around" issues. You will need to either move to the USA and get a job, or as mentioned find a US based co-sponsor to stand guarantor for your fiance/husband.

Only the immigrant needs police records.

Could the co-sponser be my moms husband? He's a permanent resident? And how would we so that? They live all the way in Tennessee. I really appreciate yalls advice.

OK thank y'all soooo much for this information!! This is getting to be really frustrating hehe.

The co-sponsor will need the same things as you; I-864, tax filings, proof of income and proof of US citizenship or greenncard. Where they live don;t matter.

If the husband files jointly with the wife, the wife will need to file I-864A.

If I have no income in Mexico and my husband is self employed, on the page the nvc sent, do we mark unavailable. Because here, we don't have w2 forms or anything like that??!
