K-1 Visa I-134 concerns

[Chris&Yos 0]

Hello, I'm super excited to say that we have our K-1 visa interview in less than a week. We have all but one document together (we have to pick one up locally tomorrow). But I have been researching a lot, trying to cross my t's and dot my I's. I have become very concerned with our I-134 affidavit of support. I personally did not meet the requirement on the income, I live here in the country with my fiance and freelance online but only worked the months of April-December for the 2015 tax season. Knowing that it wouldn't be enough I had my father join as a joint sponsor. This is where I have encountered some concerns, my father is self employed and has provided me with his most recent 1040, and a Dunn & Bradstreet business rating report. Based on the D&B report the income is more than sufficient, however on the 1040 it is below the 125% guideline. He is confident that we wont have any issues based on the D&B report, but I am really nervous about this. I have all supporting documents I need from him, bank letter, D&B report, his 1040, birth certificate. But if the line 22 on the 1040 does not meet the requirement but the D&B report is shows sufficient income will they accept it, or is there a great possibility of being denied or delayed?

hi

how much did he make as his individual income, not the company?

they don't care about the rating, what matters is income, did he make enough over the poverty guidelines?

Line 22 of your Dad's IRS form 1040 is the number. If it doesn't meet the requirement a different joint sponsor will likely be needed.

It's not an accounting thing or an IRS thing. It's immigration and that has its own rules and guidelines.

Ok we have been working on a different joint sponsor, and also on my father sending paperwork for his home, as using that as an asset should cover the difference in the income. Can anyone guide me to the correct documentation he needs to send to me. Our appointment is on the 18th. We tried to reschedule and the website currently is stating no appointments are currently available. So we are in a scramble.

I tried to get a reply from the embassy specifically about the 1040 vs the Dunn & Bradstreet and their reply was anything but clear, even rather poor english at that. We are still trying if we can to reschedule if possible just to allow more times to fix this last min issue. A couple hundred to change flights is better than a denial.

From my research, A current mortgage statement and is most recent property tax statement should be enough evidence for him to list it as an asset. Is this correct?
