i-129f / i-134 timeline, proof of income

[xandoryuux 11]

Hi!

I'm completely new to the k-1 process... was hoping you guys could help me out!

 

My situation:

I'm an American citizen

I currently live and work in Japan, and will be living here until the end of March, 2019 (I'm a student but make roughly $2000/mo)

My fiance is a Japanese citizen

 

We want to go back to the US and get married as soon as possible once my visa is finished here

 

A couple questions:

1. Is it ok to submit my I-129F while I'm still here in Japan? 

2. Does my Japanese income count for affidavit of support?

3. I've been here for only 6 months (Jan 2018) so would my US income from 2017 count if we applied this year/had the interview in the next 6-9 months?

4. My sister has agreed to be a cosponsor....should both of us prepare 1-134 ?

 

Any information would be a huge help

 

Thank you!!!

1. Yes.

2. Yes.

3. Your current income counts, your US taxes counts.

4. Yes.

4. Yes.

 

Also, there is a VERY small chance the K1 visa will be approved by March 2019. It roughly takes 10 months from filling to final approval in the embassy.

That's what I've read  I've seen some people get done a lot quicker....so just being hopeful. We plan to probably have him come over on a tourist visa while the k-1 is processing....then come back for the interview together when it's time

Just do a DCF, Direct Consular Filing if you have been in Japan longer than 6 months, it is a few weeks process compared to almost a year process doing a K1.
