I'm currently a short-term missionary in the Philippines but will be returning to the US in June. I'm in the process of petitioning my Filipino fiancee but I have a problem: I'm a missionary. Because of that, I don't make anywhere near the required $18,000 a year. When I return to the US, though, I'll resume my public school teaching job at about $35,000. I have a good amount of savings, also, but I hear they look at the previous year's W-2.
Is there a way around this problem, or is my fiancee going to be denied a visa until I get back to the US and work long enough to get an updated W-2?
I've been told that anyone can fill out the affidavit, but I'm wondering if that's true. It seems like the future husband would be the one the USCIS people would want to make sure has the cash to support the girl.
