Will this count as sufficient evidence for affidavit of support?

[wannabemarried12 0]

Hi everyone, my interview is coming up at the London embassy and I have a question about the affidavit of support. We have completed the form and added a section where my fiance has stated that upon marriage his bank account will be changed to a joint account in both our names. The evidence we have submitted is two pay stubs from his current job and a printed overview of his bank account and savings accounts. 

 

We do not have a W-2 as last year we were both living and working in a third country that doesn't issue W-2s. Is this going to be enough evidence? The bank account is extremely healthy and my fiance has a very well paying job. We definitely more than meet the requirements, I'm just worried about the lack of W-2. My interview is next week so I don't think we have time to get a letter from his employer.

Generally if you are going off income alone, pay stubs, ( i recommend 3 months worth) and a letter from the employer stating all relevant job information and pay info, should suffice... A lot of people do supply W2's to back it up if they have them.

 

Using banking information is generally only needed if using savings to offset the missing income. If current income is good enough, this isn't really needed.

 

As for stating about a joint account, that's irrelevant. It doesn't matter if you do or don't honestly. A lot of people keep their accounts seperate. My husband and I only have a joint savings, our checking accounts are separated.

Thanks for the advice, I'm going to ask my fiance to obtain the letter from his employer and also get a few more pay stubs to back it up. Better safe than sorry.

Also you must include an IRS tax transcript or a letter explaining why he was not required to file.

Hi Thomas,

 

Are you sure? On the London Embassy website it says that there is no set form in which proof of support must take place. It suggests filling out the I-134, which I have done, and I'm hoping that this along with pay stubs, bank statements, and a letter from his employer will suffice. 

 

Feeling a little frustrated and anxious about this, it seems like you do have to be a little bit of a detective to find out exactly what is required and there's so much conflicting information floating around

You know, it may not be. It is at most places but a quick search looks like people didn't need them in London.

I will add that is is 100 percent required for AOS so you will still need them just maybe not now.

I assume the USC did in fact file his required US tax forms for all years ?

Yes, he did file his taxes, just overseas so there is no w-2 apparently. I will gather the documentation from those overseas filings and bring them with me as well.

What about a P60?

As in the UK tax form? The country we were both resident in when we met is China. USC has never lived or worked in the UK, and I haven't been employed in the UK for many years.

I believe a copy of his filed tax returns or transcripts along with a letter showing that no W2 was issued since earnings were not in the US would suffice

London allows you to self sponsor.
