K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reportswrong mailing address?
Hi everyone,

So my package for the petition was delivered to uscis today (yay) but I noticed usps had the zip code as 75260 instead of 75266 for the DALLAS address. Does this mean it was sent to the wrong place??? Has anyone else experienced this?
I an really concerned sonmeone else could cash my check!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsHow long?

Hi everyone,

 

I'm positive this question has been asked before so it can be moved if necessary. I just want to know why I haven't heard from USCIS in regards to my NOA2. The last I heard from them was in February of this year which was to tell me my case number was updated. I am very impatient. I haven't seen my fiancé in 2 years and I miss him beyond belief.

 

Here is my time line to give you an  idea (mine never shows so I copy and paste.)

 

11/12/08- Met online Via Yahoo Chat
04/17/10- FINALLY met in person, lived with him for 2 years
03/05/12-Returned to the US
07/26/12- he applied for NZ PR (separate process for our case) been waiting since
12/28/13- preparing I-129F package!

1/10/14 I-129F package sent (FINALLY!)
1/17/14 Received NOA1 (text and email)
1/23/14 change in alien registration number(email and text) Still no hard copy of NOA1
1/24/14 got hard copy of NOA1 in the mail








 

 

 

Should I keep waiting or should I give the a call? Thanks!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Proceduresenvelope and usps

 

Use a USPS envelope.  I used EXPRESS MAIL.  Go to the Post Office in your area.  Don't drop it in a box...?  Make SURE you get a TRACKING number.  This is critical.

 

God Bless,

 

Happy New Year

 

 

What happens if you send it to Lewisville, TX? That's the address they provide if its express mail. I'm uncertain which address to use. Does it matter?

It looks like I don't make the requirement on my own then :(

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresAffidavit of Support

 

Let me try to clarify.  It is based off of your income alone, not you and your fiance's.  Your fiance's income is not even considered.  You need to prove that YOU have enough money in income or assets to support your fiance here in the US.  There is no such thing as partial assistance, either you have it or you don't.  Your co-sponsor needs to have at least the minimum poverty level for their household size, the same requirements as you.  I imagine the 55K salary is your fiance's?  It is irrelevent.  The net value of a home is considered an asset.  If your car is your only car, you cannot claim it.  If your mom's car is her only car, she cannot claim it.  You can probably use anything that would be of significant value as an asset, like maybe jewelry.  Furniture and electronics you aren't going to get high value from it.  Anything you do use as an asset you need to have proof of its value. 

 

Each sponsor filling out an I-134 needs to meet minimum poverty guidelines for their household size.  Household size includes anyone that the sponsor is obligated to support, plus the beneficiary.  These are any dependents you claim on taxes, any children you might have, etc.

  • Your household size includes yourself and the following individuals, no matter where they live: any spouse, any
    dependent children under the age of 21, any other dependents listed on your most recent Federal income tax return, all
    persons being sponsored in this affidavit of support, and any immigrants previously sponsored

Ok in your case as the primary sponsor, you said you don't claim anyone and assuming you don't have any children either.  Your household size is 2, just you and your fiance.  In the case that your mom is your co-sponsor, now we are talking about her household size.  You said your parents don't claim you, and assuming they don't claim anyone else, your mom's household size is 3.  It is your mom, your dad, and your fiance.  Your mom has to count everyone that she is supporting in her current household (herself and your dad), and the intending immigrant who she is sponsoring.

 

I hope this makes it a bit more clear.

 

 

Thank you, it does. But I want to let you know you did in fact say the required salary was based off both my fiancé and I in your first comment. :)

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresAffidavit of Support

I know I don't file the support form now. :)

 

So if that's based off of my fiancé and I's income, does he need to provide his own financial income for the interview? And if I am getting a co-sponsor, he would need to show he only needs partial assistance (the question on the form) right? He makes at least 55k (45k USD) annually.  And if the value of a home is included, does that fall under it being an asset? I am 24 so my parents don't claim me on their taxes nor do I claim anyone so I don't think it would be considered a household of 3. Correct me if I'm wrong, please.

 

 I realized I actually make over 17k, not 15. The car is my only but my parents have their own as well. Also, what else could be claimed as an asset (furniture, electronics? lol)

 

Sorry for the load of questions but they came as I was responding and plus I want to make sure I am stable for when the time comes. Gotta do things right ;)  Thanks in advance!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresAffidavit of Support

Hi Everyone,

 

I have a question in regards to the affidavit of support form for I-129F. I am the US citizen bringing my fiance from India (who is currently in New Zealand) and this is my dilemma: I imagine I would be the one sponsoring him because I make a YTD salary of over $15,000. I also own a few valuables such as a vehicle (value of over $8,000) thats been paid off.

 

Now, I am still living with my parents until he arrives here (hope its soon). My father is retired, my mother is one of my co-workers and makes about $2000 less then me on the YTD basis, owns a vehicle but obviously our house. My question is, who fills the form? I have a friend who came from Marrocco and has advised we both fill them but I am concerned the USCIS will get confused between who the sponsor is and I will end up getting an RFE. I know its not a problem but I really don't want to delay any progress. 

 

Also, what do they consider to be reasonable income to support the fiance? If I remember right I think i saw it needs to be atleast $14,000 about two years ago. Am I correct?

 

Any advice in this matter would be greatly appreciated!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresPhoto evidence of meeting for I-129F - can I print several on paper?

It doesn't matter but it is a good idea to have a guideline to follow. Everyone is different. I simply printed mine (about 9) on printer paper, and got some sheet protector (the clear sheets for photos or a sheet of paper.) Then I wrote our names, the date and location of each photo on the back. I could fit about four into each so I ended with three sheets total.  Placed mine at the back of the package along with the secondary supporting evidence. Something else you can do to help the CO is to reference the photos (like the location and date) in your letter. I have just sent my package out Friday so I don't know how the results affect my thoughts for you. :)

What I did was select certain months and just copied/pasted them into a word document. It would be so time consuming for you and the embassy to look through everything.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresEnding of a relationship, now what?

Hi Guys,

 

So, like all of us, I was preparing to bring my fiancé to the US to marry and settle. To make a very long story short I was cheated on and when I confronted my ex he just ended it all with no explanation. I have been torn in two but life must go on. My question is, what now? How do I go about cancelling the immigration process?
