Frequently change jobs/Tax transcripts

[KrissyE 0]

Hey guys, 

 

Me and my boyfriend are planning on submitting a petition for a K1 visa later this year. I’m worried about the income requirements. I’ve always had jobs that pay me well above the poverty level. However, I do change jobs often. Some are temp jobs, sometimes I just get a new job. I’m wondering how this will look while applying for the K1 visa for my fiancé. I know I will be able to take care of him for awhile but I’m worried how it looks on paper. What would be your advise. I have also had a gap in employment. Should I wait another year and heave steady employment to show on my tax transcripts? What exactly is shown on your transcripts. Any help would be great. Thanks!

If your employment/income is inconsistent, you may want to consider a spousal visa instead.  With the K-1 he would be unable to work here for up to 8 months.

Would a co sponsor help?

if your consulate would accept one. not all do.

 

during the k1 and aos period, consistency in income is mandatory. you need to have health insurance for them. living expenses. on a k1 they can not work. i can tell you once my husband moved in my food bill went way up. i buy more than i did, and different stuff than i did when it was just me and my son. car insurance will go up. utilities may go up, especially if you typically turn everything off when you are at work (when you work?). There is a lot to take into consideration that is not always obvious.

 

holding a steady job and income is a sign of responsibility, which is something uscis looks at. job hopping is not only typically bad for your career, but also bad for proving you can take care of someone else and support them financially. on a k1, your husband will not be able to work for anywhere from 6-8 months, and in some cases, longer.

What consulate do you know of that does not accept a co-sponsor? I've never seen that.
