Current income is not current if you haven't started the job.

The question on I-134 actually asks for annual income this year. It also asks me to state that everything on the form is true and accurate to the best of my I knowledge. From what I now know, my pay rate is increasing in July.

I (petitioner) was hired for an hourly position in January. The hiring manager promised to put me on full-time, which meant my income should have been $18,240 for the year, which would have been sufficient for my fiancé and I to meet the income requirement for the K-1 Visa but not the I-864.

So I continued looking for another position with higher pay. In the meantime, I was not given full-time hours consistently at the current job, so my income for the first half of the year falls below the required threshold.

During this past week, my fiancé got notice that he could schedule his interview and I also signed a contract to begin a job in July with an annual salary over $32,000.

Should my change in position be reflected in my annual income estimate for 2019? Has anyone else had a similar experience to know what impression it left with the CO? Should my fiancé go ahead with his interview while this is still a prospective rate of income or does he need to wait until I am actually working at the new job to have a favorable interview?

I (the petitioner) live in the United States, but my fiancé is in Pakistan. Do I need to send my Affidavit of Support and all of the supporting documentation by mail or via email? Do I need to send originals for the supporting information or would copies be accepted?

Hello, all!

What are the options if we do not meet the minimum income requirements by the appointed time?

The specific instruction for "all" pages was eliminated in the last form update 

Thank you! And thank goodness!

So I have been reading that using the passport as proof of citizenship requires ALL of the pages of the passport.  This may be a silly question, but does that include all of the blank pages as well or just all pages that have been used?

Termination of previous marriages,  if any

Letters of intent need to be signed 

If you met online,  proper documentation about imb or not imb.

Any required documentation about previous arrests, et al, if any

 

Thank you, payxibka! I forgot to add that we did sign our letters of intent. We are also including our correspondence through a dating site and email verification that the site is not an international marriage broker. Thankfully, previous marriages and criminal records are not an issue for us.

My fiancé and I are organizing and finalizing the additional documents to include with our fiancé visa application, hoping to streamline the process and avoid any unnecessary RFE requests if we can help it.  So far we are including the following documents in our visa application packet: cover letter, request for email notification, completed application form, copy of petitioner's passport, letters of intent to marry from both petitioner and beneficiary, church-issued certificate of engagement, petitioner's stamped visa to beneficiary's country, airline tickets, boarding passes, baggage claim ticket, photos with descriptions from in-person meeting, and passport photos of both petitioner and beneficiary. 

Is there anything we are still missing?  Did anyone here receive an RFE request for something not yet included in this list?
