Just starting K1-Process

[K1-Matt 0]

Hello all! I'm just starting the K1 process.

I live in California and my future wife lives in Columbia. I've only got so far as to gather some of the forms i'll need and read up on some things we'll need. One thing i saw mentioned was that i would need to show pay stubs from work, job title, how long i've been there etc. Can anyone give me more information on approximately how much i'm required to be earning and also if time employed by current employer is very important?

Gracias,

Matt

K1-Matt,

The items you mention would be needed at the Interview. You would get a letter from your employer (Manager,Supervisor) on company letterhead stating title, start date, salary, full or part time. You'd need your most recent tax return. I gave Fernanda 4 mths of pay stubs, just as a nice to have.

USCIS wants to know that you and/or a Sponsor can afford to care for the Beneficiary. Whether you are new on the job or not is not as much of an issue as not meeting the income qualifications for support. The Consulate is expecting you to show that you have enough financial stability to provide care.

As the others have stated, take a look at the Guides. Go slow and it'll make sense. If I was successful with this process, anybody can do it. And all I had at my disposal was VJ! Can't beat that.

Good luck,

Joey

As others have mentioned, really, read up on all the guides. They should be your first source for answers to these very common questions. Then, come to the forums if things get confusing. Good Journey!

Yes, as mentioned above, you wont need most of that mess until you get to the interview. That when you pound 'em with evidence. We're glad to have you on VJ. Best wishes for a speedy approval!
