Financial support documents without having proof of US income

[LaurenkA 2]

Hello! Can someone please help! 

I am currently living in Casablanca with my fiancé. We are going to apply for the k1 visa but are worried about the financial support I will have to prove during the consulate meeting. My parents claimed me for 2017-2018 since I was living with them. Then I took a teaching job overseas here in Morocco. This coming up taxes would be the only one I could claim on my own in January 2020...I am curious how is this going to be possible to prove financial support? I am also wondering if it would be smart to move back to the U.S and get a job back home before the interview so I have some type of proof of US income?

i think if you apply for CR1 spouse visa would be better for you because i beleive you can use joint sponsor for CR1 and K1 not......

K1 very hard to get from Casablanca

to be honest it would be to your advantage to marry, return home to have the income needed for the support and file a CR1

It is against the law in Morocco (not just islam but the country's law ) to live with and sleep with a woman unmarried to her

not a good idea for an interview as the CO does go by the country's culture and laws

Thanks for the response, I do not live with my fiancé. I have a female roommate and coworker I live with. My fiancé just visits me here. That is all.

yes,  and the man can go to jail with no trial 

it does happen and i saw it when i was there in 2011 to a neighbor of my family

a woman went to the police and complained a man had gotten her pregnant

he was jailed immediately given 3 years / her family kicked her out 

if I was a man ,  I would never go to an  interview and show proof of living with a woman and not married

Your story changed "you said you lived with him'

Yeah, I imagine the Embassy may even call the local cops to pick that guy up outside of the Embassy as he comes out.

It is illegal for men and women to have a sexual relationship if they are not married, as provided by article 490 of Morocco's penal code.Jun 15, 2017

He should not even be visiting you in your home

 

 

It is illegal for men and women to have a sexual relationship if they are not married, as provided by article 490 of Morocco’s penal code. Article 10 states that all Moroccan laws apply to foreigners in Morocco, although generally this law is not applied so strictly to foreigners, especially if neither is from an Islamic nation.

While foreign couples are never usually questioned as to their marital status, don’t expect to be able to hook up with a Moroccan and get a room; accommodation providers should, by law, insist on seeing a marriage license before handing over the keys (when one or both are Moroccan). Places that let unmarried couples stay are in breach of the law. Furthermore, article 491 sets jail time for adulterers.

If the CO is a Moroccan worker,  i believe (i could be wrong) the person has to report the infraction as the person has broken the law

a US worker is not obligated to but has to follow the culture and norms and a K1 would be refused in this case

Sorry meant to say I live in the same city as him. He lives with his family and I live with my female roommate.

enough said 

he is not suppose to visit you in your home either

get married and do the CR1

return home

file your taxes

don't make this worse

 

we can help you here but you really need to know that most K1's are denied in Morocco

so,  while you are there,  get married 

still not easy to get the spouse visa in  Morocco but stands a better chance / if you married now,  you could even claim him on the 2019 tax returns and start the process to show commingling of finances

Need to say one more thing

when you go for the interview with the judge to get the marriage license,  he will ask if you have slept together along with questions about the dowry so be in agreement as to your answers 

you will need an entrepretur as your husband can not act as one with a judge who does not know English

This is incorrect
