Meeting Income Requirement for K1 visa

[galex22 3]

Hi,

 

My boyfriend and I are planning to apply for the Fiance visa in a few months, and we are in the midst of planning and preparing the required documents. There is one huge obstacle which is the meeting of the income requirement. He is going back to college next January, and is working odd jobs for now. This means that he isn't able to give proof of past income tax records, nor have past pay slips to prove that he can be a sponsor for me. However, he will be applying for a full-time position that will allow him to meet the minimum income requirement now. Would the lack of past records be a huge impediment to our application? Is there anything that we can do to mitigate this impediment?

You have nearly a year to resolve this issue.   You always can try to get a co sponsor

The I-134 isn't an issue until the interview. That'll likely be in roughly a year or so, so his income right now isn't really an issue.

 

As a side note, his tax returns would show his past income. But current income is king still.

Thanks you guys!!

It feels so much better knowing that the issue will only arise int he later part of the application process, so we can start applying now and work on the full-time income at the same time.
