Hello,

I am currently 27 years old. I have earned income 4-5x the requirement for the year of 2012-2015. However, I left my company to join a startup in which I didn't have income for the year of 2016.

Would getting a k-1 visa for my fiance in Taiwan be at risk to be rejected?

If so, what other things I can do to help?

Thanks in advance

What is your current income, still 0? If so, you can either sponsor her on assets, if you have them (rental property, second car, 401k etc), or get a co-sponsor; however, co-sponsors are often not accepted by Asian embassies.

Yes, it is currently 0. What would be the assets requirement?

3x the income amount in liquid or easily liquidised means. Your primary car or residence cannot be counted.

If it isn't difficult, it isn't worth it.

Fiance's are counted as immediate family members in most cases. So you would have to prove you have at least 3 times the amount in assets to offset any missing income.

In your case you make 0$, so you would need to prove you made 3 times the full 20025$, so 60,075$ in convertible cash assets, either money in the bank or a second car or house that can be offcially appraised by an appraiser. You can not use your only car or your only house as it's considered a hardship to you.

There was one case recently where someone from Thailand was considered to make 0$ (he was self employed, but didn't provide enough info) and Thailand asked for 5 times assets, which is usually for non-immediate family members. So worst case scenario you would need 100125$ in assets if they want you to prove the max.

Btw, this is all assuming it's just you and your fiance, if you have any dependents the number goes up just multiply the needed income by 3 and you have what you need. https://www.uscis.gov/system/files_force/files/form/i-864p.pdf

Thank you for the info! It is just for me and my fiance. I do have 5x+ cash assets so hopefully I will be ok.
