Will I be denied because of this? I need help! (Merged)

[WillyFlo 0]

Hello everyone. My USC fiancé currently makes 15k dollars per year and we have filed. We just filed and I’ll be having my interview in 8/9 months time. He is getting a second job next week and once he starts the second job, he will be making over the recquired income. My question is, when it’s time for the interview and I have to submit tax returns and transcripts, his 2016,2017,2018 and 2019 income is lower than the recquired and it’s going to show on the transcript but I would be going with his pay stubs and other evidence showing he is now making more than 21k dollars. Will the Consular officer deny me based on his past years income are not up to $21k even though by the time I will go for my interview, he will be making more than that. Will 7 months of him making over the recquired be enough or Would we need a cosponsor?

sorry if the way I worded all this isn’t so clear but I hope you understand, English is not my first language and my USC fiancé always asks me to find answers and get back to him, he doesn’t really like a lot of reading

You will need a joint sponsor..

It depends on the embassy or consulate where you are applying

[Gomast 65]

Yes. It depends on the embassy. 

1. Prepare a co-sponsor with I-134 in case they ask for it during the interview. 

2. USC should give you for the interview a letter from his job(s) with income verification, W-2’s, paystubs. 

[debbiedoo 2,339]

which consulate?

 

i will leave out my opinion on your fiance not wanting to read and research.... this entire process is ALL reading and researching and it doesnt seem right that he is making you do all of it and finding answers. guess i didnt leave my opinion out of it, eh?

 

you will more than likely need a joint sponsor.

 

if he is working two jobs when will he have time for you when you arrive? probably better to find one job that will support the two of you. life here is not cheap and you will not be able to work for a long time.

Current income is the key for many consulates.

Hello everyone. I just found visajourney today and I asked a question earlier about the sponsorship which I have gotten replies to, thanks.

I started reading thru posts and I realized my fiancé and I have a lot of red flags

1. He is 17 years older than me. I am 20, he is 37

2. He has kids

3. He is divorced

4. I am from a high fraud country

5. Different races.

 

when he came to visit me, he met my parents and friends and he was accepted. In Nigeria, it is normal and acceptable for a man to be way older than his wife but I am quite scared we might be denied. We already filed for a K1. 

Has anyone been approved in a similar situation?

We are the same religion and we can only have a total of 3 visits at the interview stage.

what do y’all think about this?

Your sitiation isnt diferent from many of us.

My now husband is 20 years older than me, he is divorce twice, he had kids, i am from a high fraud country, he is white and i am black.

We filed k1 and we were aproved, as long the relationship is real nothing to worried.

 

[jskibo 588]

We are from a probably much easier country but 22 year difference, multiple divorced, both had kids, no issues. Celebrating five years next month.

what do y’all think about this?

1.  Not an issue in itself if it is a cultural norm.

2.  Non-issue

3.  Non-issue

4.  Might get a little scrutiny, but not a deal-breaker by any means. There are many, many Nigerian immigrants in the US.

5.  Non-issue.

I think the more face to face time you have the stronger your petition will be when it gets to the consulate.

and from high fraud country 

Seriously ,   in the US i am not sure how he can even support himself on $15,000

and afford trips to see you for a meeting and pay all the visa fees

it is costly

and you would not be able for some time in the US to help your marriage

As of early 2019, the filing fees for the K-1 process were $535 for Form I-129F (filed with USCIS), $265 to apply for the K visa (paid to the consulate), and $1,225 for Form I-485 and the adjustment of status packet (filed with USCIS), including the biometrics fee. That brings the total government U.S. fee to $2,025.

and that doesnt include about double that in miscellaneous fees! - criminal reports, medical, copies, certified copies of documents, translations, etc etc etc 

 

[debbiedoo 2,339]

how much time in person have you spent together. for high fraud countries, that is typically the golden ticket to getting approvals.
