Income guidelines

[Mrsjackson 300]

Hello,

 

So sorry if there is already a thread on this. I-129F has been filed and now we are preparing for the interview (no NOA2 yet and probably not for a few months). I understand there are two different affidavit of support forms - one for the K1 process and one for when you are adjusting your status after entering the US on an approved K1 visa. Is it correct that for the first affidavit of support that you take to the interview the petitioner needs to meet 100% of the income poverty guidelines, and then for the second one they need to show an income above 125%? Thanks for your help.

For both?? Really? I posted this because I saw other comments saying it differs. Okay thanks.

There are two different forms. One is the 134 (for the K visa) and thats 100% (however some consulates ask for 125%) and then once in the states and married you file AOS with the 864 which is 125%.

So two very different replies thus I am still just as confused, can anyone else give their input?

There is only one answer. The one I gave you. I have no idea why the above user posted what they did. It was incorrect.

 

Read the guides.

 

134 for k 100%

864 for aos 125%

 

Its that simple.

What guides? I searched high and low for this info on both USCIS and here. I never make a post without looking for the answer first. Thanks for your help.

i'm guessing, it is technically 100% for i-134. however, the officers prefer 125% anyway even though officially it's 100% for i-134.

 

Do you have 125% now?

At the top of VJ are some tabs. One says Guides. VJ has lots of info besides the forums. There are guides and example forms. Also I think its great you search for answers before posting. Not many people do. But please feel free to post any questions you do have. Its what the forums are for.
