Does being disabled and not working be a cause for denial? I receive Social Security income of 15,125 yearly but Hawaii 125% poverty level is 19,688. My lawyer advises to use assets of25,000 bank account. Even then will just barely make required income level, so my brother-in-law,(same household,more than adequate income will co-sponsor). I live with my parentsand do not pay rent,food etc. Will a letter from them help? Also have seen posts stating that USEM, does and does not accept co-sponsors for K-1 visas.What is true? Anyone know of an approval when Petitioner is disabled and not working? Any help appreciated. Also my diability is permanent.


Being disabled is not a reason for denial as long as the income is sufficient and will meet the 125% poverty guidelines. In your case, you can use your brother as joint sponsor if he's making more than enough. I've heard it too that USEM is not accepting co-sponsor for K1 but I have seen some cases who used one and didn't have any problems. Just provide whatever documents you can show to prove that you can support your fiancee once she's here in US.

Good luck!

Thank-You Mae for reply, but I'm worried about not employed. I-134 tips guide says if petitioner is not working (on welfare) or other GOVT. BENIFITS or has no plans to work actively, the petition can be denied. Ihope that SSD is not GOVT. BENIFITS>

What do you put for family name on DS-230. I-130 and G-325A filed with wife using married surname, also her passport has been ammended to her married name.


It should be the one in her passport (married name) as it is already her new legal name.

Word of advice to those still waiting for case#. Spend the time and read immigration fairy Saylin's, post 1&2 and all the other VJ members post in the
 
forum.I sailed through without a checklist (only a false one) because I read and followed.Good luck to all those waitng for case complete, hope you'll be as happy as I am soon. Thank you immigration fairy.luv.gif
 





Congrats! I agree, I didn't received any checklist either and I thank visajourney esp. Saylin for that. Also it helps if you go back and read previous posts by others so you get to see other members checklist so you won't do the same mistake. I didn't even have to ask any question because some of the members would ask the same question so I just really read what other people post in the thread.

Thank you! No I didn't received any checklist, thank God for that. My aos package was received on Feb. 4 and completed with no checklist on Feb. 26. I called NVC on Feb 27, and that's how I found out that my aos is reviewed and completed. The iv civil documents package was received on Feb. 11, 1 week after the aos. So I guess the IV package was reviewed today and finally a case complete. The nvc rep said to just wait for the schedule of the interview.

I'm glad I did because if not, that could have been a problem.

Hey guys for the interview, should I bring an updated AOS or an AOS exactly the same which we have sent to NVC because there is a change in my husband's work. Or an ITR and w2 are enough? Btw our AOS was sent to NVC last October 2013. Thanks in advance


I think it's best to have more papers/documents ready during the interview to be sure..So for me, I just prepared an updated I-864 with info of my 2013 tax return and included my 2013 tax transcript just in case they ask and before that, I already made a copy of the AOS package too that I sent to NVC few months ago.
