questions about financial support and certification

[sunshinestate 0]

Hi, my fiance and I are a little confused about our situation right now.

I met my fiance when I was studying in America, and right now he's still enrolled in college. Last year he made around $35,000 income from stock distribution and part-time job, and has around $123,000 worth of stocks and $32,000 in the bank. However, his annual income didn't meet the requirement for the last two years. so my questions are:

1. Do we still need a co-sponsor?

2. Do I need to bring the last 3 years of tax return to my interview?

3. Also, I've lived in two different cities in China mainland for more than 6 months since I was sixteen, does that mean that I have to get the Notarial Certificate of Non-Criminality from these two different cities?

Thank you very much!

1. No, but weather or not he will have to show assets depends on how stable his income is. If his income remains the same each year or improves, than all he needs to disclose is income.

2. Only if required by the consulate/embassy

3. If the police certificate covers the entire country, than all you need is one. But if the police certificates are by province or state, than you would need one for each state you lived in. How this works varies by country.
