US Embassy and Consulate DiscussionCo-sponsor-affidavit support
QUOTE (YuAndDan @ Jan 20 2009, 07:20 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
1) Assets need to equal 3 times income.

2) Yes if you do use a co-sponsor, you the petitioner still provides an I-134.

Moving this to consulate/embassy forum, I-134 is required at the interview, not when filing I-129F


Thanks YuAndDan... the assets need to equal 3 times income per month or per year, so if i make 50K a year so my assets need to be 150K? thanks... sorry... im so naive and new with all of these...

US Embassy and Consulate DiscussionCo-sponsor-affidavit support
Hi I have several questions to ask, please help

1. If I have enough money in the bank and meet above 125% poverty line, do I still need co-sponsor?. I am currently not employ. I am applying K1 visa for my fiancee. Can I just use the bank statements and CDs certificate to show and last year income tax as prove to show? or do I need to show that I am actually employ.

2. If I use co-sponsor, is that mean I have to fill one (I134) and my co-sponsor fill another one? Does the co-sponsor need to make notation that he/she is just co-sponsor.

Thank you for the inputs

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsAnyone get NOA2 from California in december?
QUOTE (numan @ Jan 19 2009, 04:44 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
We received NOA2 from California center on 12/19/08 - it's been 1 month and NVC has NOT received yet. As I mentioned in another post ( http://www.visajourn...howtopic=173048 ) ... I've called both places but just been told to be patient. Is anyone else in this boat?

And conversely.. has anyone who received NOA2 around same time from California service center already confirmed that NVC DID recieve it?

I ask because I am trying to determine if the delay is due to the California center's "bundled mailings" or due a specific problem with our case that I need to act on.


Hi Numan, I just called the NVC today and they received my fiancee's file. U should try to call again... I filed in 10/21/08 and received my NOA#2 on 1/9/09 and from CSC sent out to NVC on the 1/12 and NVC received it on 1/15 and they told me it takes 5 business days to be send out to USEM... hope this helps as far as for the timeline...

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresFile K1 visa while divorce?
Hi everyone, I am USC and engaged to Indonesian cz last July. We've been in a relationship for about 1 1/2 years. I visited him several times during those 1 1/2 years when I was separated with my ex husband. I filed for divorced last March'08 and i will get the divorce decree in Sept'08. Can I file for K1 visa after my divorce? Will this raise any red flag if I do this? What would be the best thing for us to do if this raise any red flag to the INS? In my divorce paper, it stated "cannot re-marry or have a domestic relationship after decree" is this engagement considered domestic relationship (i apologized for asking this stupid question) Is it better to use the attorney or visa services as u see in the advertisement in the internet? Please help!!! I dont know what to do.... I am really confused.... I was reading this forum and it seemed that everyone is really nice and help each other... any inputs really greatly appreciate it...

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Proceduresapplying K1 while away
Hi everyone, I am a USC and my fiancee is Indonesian. I am planning to file for K1 visa. Before I am applying, i have few questions. I am planning to send the package this month, but then I am planning to go back to Indonesia to be with him next January'09 until the US embassy issue the K1 visa for him. Do u think this will be a problem? I am just wondering on affidavit of support cuz I wont be working while im away. If I find a family member that will help to sponsor us or part of the affidavit of support, will it be a problem? if they only need this year income tax, my income will be enough to support both of us. Any input? any suggestion? thank you....

It usually takes a week or two for the petition to arrive at the embassy after the NVC sends the case information. I suggest you read the guide here on VJ and also check out to see if the embassy web site has any information specific to the document requirements. There is no reason why you can't stay there but how are you sponsoring the petition, or do you have a co-sponsor?



Thank you... yes i have co sponsor if i need to and my last year income tax is above 125% poverty line... do u think enough money from the bank statement, cds, and investment should be enough for me to sponsor by myself? or do u think i still need the co-sponsor even though i have enough asset?

Hi everyone, I just received my NOA #2 stating that my I129 for my fiancee has been approved and they are going to fwd the case to NVC. How long does it take? Is there anymore paper works that I have to do after they fwd to overseas embassy? The problem is Im leaving to Indonesia to be with my fiancee and stay there until he gets his interview. Will this a problem if I stay with him until he gets his interview? I was thinking to get the paperwork sign at first and have my family member send it when the INS needs it. We applied through California Service center

Here is our timeline

10/27-sent the I129F package
10/31-received NOA #1
1/9- I129F approved through email notification
1/14-received NOA#2 hardcopy through mail

what now? any input?

Thanks a lot... this forum has helped me tremendously... I cant thank you enough to all of u....

Hi there,

I wonder if you, Indonesian-American couple under K-1 route also have Indonesian marriage certificate. I was told by someone that we should have one. Any idea?
Thanks in advance smile.gif


No, and HELL NO! Married people don't qualify for K1 visas. If you get married anywhere but the USA within 90 days of entry using the K1 visa, you'll be starting over again filing an I-130 petition for a spouse visa.


I mean, Indonesian marriage certificate or what they call as marriage report certificate, after marriage is done overseas. I read that it needs to be done only for those who intend to stay in Indonesia (after living some time overseas), yet there's a notion that says that this report certificate is still needed even though the couple does not have intention to live in Indonesia. The implication is that this report certificate is going to make it easier for the couple if they intend to buy property in Indonesia in the future. Also, if the kid will decide later to be Indonesian citizen, it will be legally recognized for the marriage has been reported to Indonesian government; otherwise, the kid will be considered born out of wedlock.

Indonesians, anyone has the knowledge about it?




Hi Ranie and Glen, if u are in States, u should ask Indonesian consulate about that... I've never heard of it... I have friends that are Indonesian-American, they have marriage certificate from US and their kids still have dual cz till they are 18, maybe u meant u need to report it to the Indonesian marriage bureau? but then one of u, I assume is Indonesian cz...
