    in K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures

    Posted

    Hi, all i just got my NOA2 ( after 160 days ) :):)

    Well few questions for you guys.

    1. how much income or in bank I need to prove enough support in I-134

    2. for Co-Sponsor what form do I need to fill out ( I think its I-864 )

    3. and what all will I need with my I-134 ( tax return, bank latter whatelse?)

    4. and what will my Co-Sponsor need with her I-864

    guys any help would be gr8 help for us. Sorry to ask so many question just wanted to make sure there if no more delay for her to come here now. :)

    Thanks

    1. You need to demonstrate an income of at least 125% of the current poverty guidelines based on your household size (i.e., number of dependents including the immigrant you're sponsoring). See http://www.uscis.gov/files/form/I-864P.pdf. If your income is not sufficient and you're planning to use assets (e.g. bank deposits, stock, real estate, etc.) to make up the difference, the assets must be readily convertible to cash and must be three times the income you require. For example, if your income is $2,000 short of the guidelines, you need at least $6,000 in assets to make up the difference.

    2. For the K-1 consulate interview, co-sponsors would also fill out an I-134. In the K-1 process, the I-864 is not used until the AOS stage. Also, not all consulates accept co-sponsors for K-1s, so check with your consulate to make sure.

    3. If you are qualifying solely on the basis of income: pay stubs, a letter from your employer stating your position and salary, and one or two years' worth of tax forms are a good start. If you need to use assets, then bank letters, stock certificates, etc.

    4. Cosponsor would require the same supporting documents as above for her I-134.

    I just went thru this a month ago, so its fresh- i'll tell you my experience. i had to get a co sponsor due to my 2008 tax return being a little "weak" from being unemployed a few months in 2008. i had already submitted the I-134. what i needed from my co-sponsor was;

    1. their 2008 tax 1040 and W-2's [ not the whole return ]

    2. a job letter stating how long they worked at the current job and hourly wage rate

    3. they had to complete the I-1864

    4. a notarized copy of passport or birth certificate or green card- must be notarized!

    i dont know if consulates vary that much but this is what we had to go thru. the statement that the I-864 isnt used in

    k-1 until AOS stage isnt accurate becuz we just had to do one with a co-sponsor. to be on the safe side, contact the embassy/consulate yourself and ask what they require. they should tell you without a problem. we gave them what they asked for and had the approved visa the following week. im going to get here next week-YEAH!!!! :D Good Luck!

    hey thanks this is very helpful info.. i think my tax returns are good enough and i think i have enough in bank to backup my returns but i wanted to add co-sponsor as i dont want to take any chance.. as you said with them nothing is enough so its better to be safe..

    Thanks

    I understand how difficult the waiting is. I can only hope everything gets approved - I filed on May 22nd. I just checked the processing time for the vermont center and it says 5months for the K1. I know the general rule is to wait 6months before calling. So I would just wait just a couple of more weeks for that confirmation email/letter since you are right at 6 months.
