K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Proceduresnumbers on the back of the I-129f fee check

are the numbers on the back of the check my case number? I seem to remember someone saying that they were, and that one could go to the USCIS website and set up one's account using those numbers. Thanks,
Bryan



they do indeed have those numbers, and I am headed there now. Many thanks!

study the I-864 for classes of assets. Ya, yer using the I-134, but with W-2/taxable income below the poverty line, the ConOff will use the I-864 guidelines for assets AND the computation for 'poverty level'.

100K in cash TRUMPS a lot of prior stuff, each time.

Touch base with your CPA, prepare AUDITED Income and Assets Statement (should be no more than 2 hours of billable time), include ORIGINAL (make certified copies too, file these away for AOS) with the I-134 submittal at the Embassy.

re: vehicles - 1st vehicle doesn't count for the evaluation.
re: houses - evaluation done for cash value - this can be determined by equity or appraised value, usually need licensed appraiser's certified statement. if you have a mortgage or a lien on the house, i'd seriously rethink this, maybe not include it. Whatever financial 'thing' you have on the house - you'll have to compute the 'cash out' value after a sale - so prepare a small spreadsheet on that. If yer upside down on a mortgage, DOUBLE OUCH.

Good Luck !

Many thanks on this. Being self employed does have its drawbacks in this world. I think this is very sound advice, and I will look into getting these things done. Thanks again

Hello again, it's me the worry wart! LOL.
My income for this year is going to be about the poverty level, but I have plenty enough finances behind me to cover the difference.(2 houses, about $100,000 in total cash assets, vehicles and personal belongings). But my business got hit really hard in 2008, and i made very little money that year.
I know I am supposed to show 2 years taxes, and i will, but do you think that the bad year is going to hurt us? I guess I'm paranoid, but I can see us getting a hard time or even being turned down over. What do y'all think? Thanks,
Bryan
