Affidavit of Support for K-1 Visa Interview

[DavidDave 1]

Hi everyone,

 

Firstly, thank you for taking the time to help me out. My question is in regards to my interview which I have scheduled next week at the US Embassy for a K-1 Visa.

 

I know that in order to prove to the US Government that I won't fall into poverty we need to be able to prove that we have an income/assests of at least X amount. My Fiance and I don't have the required amount at the moment so we have her father sponsoring us. His salary covers the amount we need (with his household included), so the main question I have is what exactly do I need to bring with me to the interview (along with the I-134 Affidavit of Support) to prove that I with the sponsorship I have the funds required to gain my K-1 Visa?

 

At the moment I plan to bring my fiance's I-134 and my sponsors I-134, up to date payslips, tax returns and W2's (taxable salary earned to date). Is there anything else I should be bringing too? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

All the best, and thank you in advance.

This is what most embassy's are looking for to satisfy the financial aspect of the interview.

 

EVIDENCE OF SUPPORT: You must submit any evidence which will show that you and members of your family who will accompany you are not likely to become public charges while in the United States. Visa petitioner (US Citizen) will have to complete form 1-134. If the petitioner does not qualify as a sponsor, a Joint-Sponsor should ALSO be presented (any US Citizen living in the US or Legal Permanent Resident), who will also have to complete form 1-134. Both, the Sponsor (Petitioner) as well as the Joint-Sponsor, will have to present last year's income tax return transcripts. W2 form and proof of current and sustainable income (e.g letter of employment on letterhead including salary and start date, most recent salary receipts, bank accounts, value of properties, etc.). You may download the 1-134 affidavit at: https://www.uscis.gov/i-134 Get the IRS transcript in place of the actual 1040 here: https://www.irs.gov/Individuals/Get-Transcript Use this link to determine the income levels needed https://www.uscis.gov/i-864p.

Hi there,

 

Thank you for your response.

My sponsor earns enough money to easily cover the amount we need to prove without having to add in house value etc. Currently I have his most recent paystub as well as his W2 from the previous fiscal year to accompany the I-134 he's filled out. Will this be enough? Or will he have to fill out the property value sections on the form as well as providing letters of employment etc. also?

 

Thanks again for your help.

I can't say what will work for your embassy so it is difficult for me to opine. I just give you the max what is acceptable and the rest is up to you to what you use.
