I-864 Affidavit of Support Income Question

[LiamT7 27]

Hi all!

 

The big day is coming up soon and we are preparing the I-864 and I had a question.

When we did the I-134 Affidavit of Support for the K1 visa, it was filled out by my Fiances mother as she was in her final part of University/College.

 

I understand that when applying for the I-864, my fiance has to be the primary sponsor and you file a co-sponsor by filing for I-864A as well if needed. However, here is my question:

 

My fiance starts her job August 5th where she will meet the guidelines, but I was just wondering if we will still need a co-sponsor as she has only just started working? Or would a letter from the employer stating her salary, etc be sufficient? We wont be submitting the AOS and Affidavit of Support until just after she starts working.

 

Thank you all!

Joint sponsor can do her own separate I-864 if she makes enough by herself. The use of I-864A would be if wife made a little and Mum made a little so they could combine incomes to qualify (as long as they also lived under the same roof.)

If she can show by the interview that her current income is sufficient by providing an employer letter and pay stubs, then that works. Right now it doesn't work because she is not employed (yet). So wait until she is employed before submitting the AOS without a joint sponsor. Or go with what you need as of today (joint sponsor) and produce wife's new and sufficient I-864 at the interview and pull the joint sponsorship at that time.

Thank you Wuozopo, I appreciate it!

You can only file with what you have. If they want to RFE, you’ll have prentyvof paystubs by that time
