I wanted to ask about the K1 Visa financial requirements. I am an American citizen who has filed an i129f for my Brazilian fiancee, NOA1 received on march 11th 2025. The problem is that in 2024 I resigned my job and only worked for 3 months that year. In those 3 months I was on track to earn about $48,000 that year (earned about $42,000 in 2023 & $35,000 in 2022). Between march 2024 and May 2025 I was unemployed & was a college student spending my savings in that timeframe.
Since May 2025 I have been working again, still a college student pursuing Engineering. Im on track to make $33,600 working part time right now. In addition, my father sends me $1,200 per month to help with expenses and covers all tuition payments separately from the $1,200 per month. He is trying to help grow my savings account in light of the K1 process, however he refuses to sign the financial support paperwork for my fiancee.
So $14,400 per year from my father + $33,600= $48,000 per year, plus a bright future in an Engineering career. Can anyone comment on how this will be viewed by the immigration officers? Will they consider the $1,200 per month my father sends? Will they consider my career as an Engineer and previous work history as an Aerospace Technician?
