Marriage Income Requirements

[jcbangkok]

I was just looking at the US MARRIAGE AFFIDAVIT and it asks you to list your occupation and monthly salary.

Does anyone know if this is just information gathering or if there is a requirement here?

Also, I assume somebody currently not working can list what their occupation is (when working) and what they typically make since the actual question is:

My occupation is

_______________,

and my income is $US _______________ per month.

Unless somebody tells me differently, I have to assume this is just info gathering since income doesn't reflect all of a person's wealth or financial worth and there is nothing on the form about net worth, property owned or bank accounts.

Thanks in advance for any first hand or actual knowledge.

I'm not sure about your question because you didn't tell us what form you are using. Are you looking to bring your fiancee to the US for marriage? If so, you need to fill out form I-134 which is the Affidavit of Support. This form has room for your income as well as other investment monies. As for requirements, yes, in this case there are. Your income must exceed the poverty level by 125%.

Just info gathering.. as long as you don't put zero. Did mine last week. I put that I am a student and have an income of $100 a month. Approved with no questions asked.
