I-134 Question..Annual income

[Daniiela11 21]

Hello Ladies and Gentlemen,

I have a concern regarding the I-134 form. My concern is involving my “Annual Income”. 

Before 2020, I’ve only worked part-time. I started working full-time in June 2020, earning $17/hr so my my tax transcript for 2020, obviously states my annual income from June to December. 

In those 6 months the transcript shows I earned less than the “poverty guidelines”.  Obviously if I would’ve work January to December I would’ve surpassed the “Poverty guidelines”.

I’m just concerned if that has any negative effect for the application or is it obvious that I earn enough if i work an entire year. 

I also have a letter from my employer stating that my job position is permanent. The manager did however forgot to write my Salary. 

Should i continue sponsoring my fiance myself or should i get a co-sponser as a back-up.

Thanks in advance!!

They look at what you’re currently making. If what you’re making is just above the poverty guideline or cutting close to it, I’d definitely get a co-sponsor. The fact that you don’t have your salary on the employment letter is problematic. That’s the whole point of it - they want to see numbers. If what you’re making is well above the poverty guidelines and you have your annual income on the letter, I’d submit the tax transcript with the letter.
