I am getting ready to submit the application for the K-1 to bring my fiancee here. I have held off because I have not worked for over a year. Last year I went to the Philippines twice and once this year. I understand adequate income is mandatory so I'm waiting till I have secured a job before I submit application. I will begin receiving social security benefits for me and my son beginning in July. I am hoping between that and a Job will be enough to qualify. My question is, does the USCIS look at social security as being better because its more of a guaranteed income? Also, does your year to date income have to equal the 125% of poverty level (there are me,my son,my fiancee and her son = $27,563 minimum)or just how do they figure it? I'm trying to determine how much I need to make between now and 6-7 months from now.

i would suggest u get job first so that u can support u..ur son and ur fiancee as well as her child.its better to have a job when u are applying K1 coz the embassy of manila will need ur certification from employer as well as the taxes u remitted for the past year.hope this help.and if ur fiancee really loves you she will wait until u get a better job.

You need to fill in your timelines! Are you eligible? I don't think you are, so if I'm right then NO but you can get a ITIN W7 http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/fw7.pdf
