K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresTax Transcript for K1?
I just happened to see a post about Tax Transcripts. I had never heard of this and I started to freak out!

My fiancee is coming from Rio de Janeiro. Looking at the RJ Site http://www.embaixada...amp;itemmenu=58 and reading the Application instructions, they state;

You may present your own means of support or the petitioner may fill out an Affidavit of Support, form I-134. The sponsor must attach proof of his/her income such as: copy of last U.S. Federal Income Tax (form 1040), proof of current employment, job offer, pay-slip, etc.

Nothing is mentioned about transcripts...

Do I still need to obtain one (or more) transcripts???

Middle East and North AfricaPaperwork Questions, American wants to marry an Algerian Woman
If you marry in the summer then after you would file for a CRI visa. If you are going to wait then apply for a K-1 fiance visa and you will marry after she is in America with the visa. You will have to meet in person at least once in the two years before you filed for the K-1. Your choice.

This will give you a short overview:

Ignore the K-3 it isn't available anymore. Also check out the guides at the top of the page for specifics on how to file.

If you speaking to the same attorney that wrongly advised you before I would get a new one.

What I would do in your situation is file for CR-1 ASAP. You can find step by step instructions how to here:
http://www.visajourn...tent/i130guide1

Because you overstayed your visa waiver you will not be able to use it again but your husband is still able to visit you in the UK while your visa processes. Do not overstay in the US more than 180 days or you will receive a ban when you leave. File the CR-1 and then go home and wait for your interview which will come in a few months.

It is an honest mistake if anyone asks you more about you can just say it was the lawyer who messed up (although for the amount you pay them to do a simple task, lawyers shouldn't mess up).

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresIs there a way to change sponsors?
They can sponsor as many people as they have money to support. However, they should always read EVERY contract that they sign. You've got them in quite a pickle as they are responsible for her until she works 40 quarters, she dies, they die, she leaves the country or she becomes a citizen. Nothing else will break it.

You are the main sponsor. He fills out I-864 A and counts as your household member. He still needs to include his taxes, W2's, pay stubs, employer letters as well as proof of his relationship to you and proof you live in the same residence.

You both need one. For the citizen put None for alien number (unless you were naturalized). For the immigrant if they have a previous A# from a previous visa you can enter it here or put None.

If you are going to be married in Gambia you will most likely want a CR1 visa which is a spousal visa, not a K1 which is for a fiance coming to the US and then marrying.

This past year is the most important, the other two help to show the full financial picture.

The visa denial should not really have an impact unless the denial was the result of something making him inadmissable, such as lying to immigration, etc.

I only know from the K-1 entry, but I think CR-1 would be similar. My husband had to go through the offices and they looked through his paperwork, filled out a few forms and that was pretty much it. It depends on if they have a line though.

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresQuestion on I-864
Bank accounts would work, they need to be 3 times the amount needed. So if you have a need for $5000 more a year you would need $15000 in the bank. The house they live in can't really count because it would be a hardship to sell their primary residence. A secondary residence might count.

Hello,so we got our NOA2 approval. I'm starting to put together next part. Is this all that I need, for the Petitioner?

FROM PETITIONER -

-I-864 completed & signed by petitioner.

-Tax Transcripts (3 years)

-Employment letter

Is this ok? or am I missing somethings? considering i'm sending tax transcripts do I still need my W-2s and 1040?

Thank you!


Looks great. You don't need both tax transcripts and W2/1040

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresA few questions about CR1
The current income is what counts. So what he makes now times one year of paychecks would be his annual income, even if he hasn't made that money yet.

You will probably have a 9 or 10 months wait to process everyone.

You are welcome to visit during the process, although not guarantees of being let in. Bring proof of your home, your kids at home, your job, etc. when you visit.

Unless you are divorced you shouldn't need proof of your singlehood. Check with the county court where you want to get married for their requirements.
