K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresCan't find a co-sponsor, what now?

 

You have to provide it because the form asks.

 

But the determination of whether an affidavit is sufficient does not depend on those tax returns. It depends only on current income, which is a separate question on the form. If you read the instructions, you prove current income by pay stubs and/or employer letter.

 

If you didn't work in the past and now have enough income, then you qualify. Conversely, if you had tons of income in the past, but stopped working recently, you have no income and do not qualify.

 

This is try for all embassies or all CO's. many have been denied for having current income above but previous below. Remember you are showing an employment earning history and if it looks shaky they can and will deny.

 

OP I would do as suggested tell husband to get employment letter together and also write letter of explanation of why he didn't earn what he usually does. If he is still at job the earning is there and he has a good verified reason.

 

Try getting that to the embassy CO and see if maybe they will reconsider you.

 

Also check around your forum about your embassy and how they weight on K1's and past and current income. Get a better feel how things are for your country.

 

Good luck.

I am 20 years older than my fiancee and he was approved today without AP

 

I truly believe if the relationship is real and you have lots of documented proof

 

than no worries - i think i over did the proof just to be on the safe side.

 

good luck

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Proceduresi am 40 years older than my finance

Im not  saying it will be easy by any means but i have seen it happen here

 

I am 20 years older than my fiancee - age has never been an issue - we have our interview on the 12th

its a folow up interview to the one we had on June 20th - we had a missing document

i was there with him and have visited 5 times in two years -

we have the proof in the world -

 

as long as the relationship is real/ solid and you have proof - you have a chance

i was told the same things early on that it would be next to impossible to be approved

my best advice to to visit him - take lots of photos - get his families approval

and pray.

 

good luck

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresPetitioning for my Jordanian Fiance'

Hi Donna,

 

First I want to say that you and your fiancee are in my prayers... this journey is so so hard and really tests the strength of the relationship.

I just like you fell completely and totally in love after meeting my fiancee who is 20 years younger than me online...

six weeks later I headed to Jordan and I have been there a total of 5 times since we met. We started the K1 visa journey last Septemeber and our second interview will be on the two year anniversary of the day we met September 12th.

 

I faced many many obstacles to get this far and just like you I met many wonderful people on this site who until today still offer support me and pray for us.

when I first posted here about our situation I was bombarded with people telling me there are two many red flags - not to get my hopes up - but i refused to give up and trust me when I say it has not been easy - not financially, emotionally, or mentally but the heart wants what it wants and I truly believe in the end it will be worth it because a love like this comes very rarely.

 

Without a doubt I could have my pick of men but he is all that I want - the total delight of my heart.

 

It wont be easy and I have no doubt of the sincerity of your emotions and pray he is just as sincere...but must not take anything lightly, listen to your gut instincts and if you even have one tiny shred of doubt - dont ignore it. I am half middle eastern and it is very rare to find an unmarried man at his age

especially if he is employed - its just not common.

Gather as much proof as possible and if there is anyway - anyway at all you can get to Jordan do it - even one visit can make a huge difference and I totally believe that online - over the phone - web cam - email is fabulous but actually being able to see and spend a few days together will give you the strength needed for the rest of the journey and you will know if your feelings are the same.

 

I have a friend on this site that only met the man in Jordan who later became her fiancee once for a few hours I believe back in 2010 - no one believed their petition would be approved but it was and their interview will be in early septemeber. 

 

I know its expensive and very far and I dont know the extent of your disability and I understand your fear of a foreign country - but the jordanians are very kind people , the new airport is very easy to manage.

 

Please feel free to message me if you have any questions or just need to talk - I am here for you...

 

god bless you

 

Jennifer

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresI-I34 - Supporting Documents

For the national police certificate they want you to get a finger print one not the name check. Bc I'm having trouble at the moment with that. I have the check list, would you like me to send it to you or you can check it out on the website. By the way, I'm in Brisbane at the moment so I will have my interview at Sydney embassy. When you have your case number from NVC, you should fill in DS260 and then print out the confirmation sheet and book for medical examination. Because I heard it took a few week to book to get the health examination

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresPolice certificate discrepancies

You cannot use digital fingerprints. You have to go to local police station and it cost around 28.45 in QLD so I'm not quite sure about the other state. 

 

 

Fingerprint checks

Fingerprint checks may only be conducted where there is a legal or regulatory requirement for such a check to be conducted. Your fingerprints will be checked against a central database of records and will take additional time to process. An additional cost is also associated with this service, see fees below.

Where a fingerprint check is required, it is your responsibility to obtain a full set of fingerprints from your local police jurisdiction. The original of the fingerprints must be posted with your completed application form. Please note that fingerprints taken using a "Livescan" system cannot be accepted.

Applicants in the ACT requiring fingerprints should make a booking to have their fingerprints taken by telephoning the ACT Fingerprint Hotline on 02 6245 7351. Please note that this applies to applicants in the ACT only.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresI-129 versus I-130 opinion!

i just looked through requirement for AOS which is a very similar procedure for K-1. i can't believe we gotta go through all this again, with all the docs and forms and etc, etc... BUT i'm trying to stay positive about it all... i guess the challenges do sharp us after all. 

 

my thoughts that I can do nothing about now, are: should have gotten married here in my country and then filed for I-130 and AOS at the same time and be over with it :/ missing my lovie so much... prayers, positive comments and encouragements are appreciated! 

 

my goal is not the AOS or citizenship, really. the goal is to be married, live wherever and be able to work... so what if we don't file for AOS after I get my K-1? would i be able to renew my EAD without an AOS? I guess not really... right? cuz AOS is all about making sure i don't lose my "legal status" and get a green card which should enable me to stay legal... what other benefits this whole green card thing gives me anyways, other than the fact that i am a legal resident there? can I just be married and be able to work without the green card for several years before my lovie and I move back overseas... I am not sure if i want to lose my Kyrgyz citizenship... maybe I will want to later... but for now, i just want to get married, be "legal" after I get married with my K-1, and be able to work and live happily ever after with my babes... 

 

i am sorry if i seem like i am throwing a lot of emotions into this... But don't want to be frustrated.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresDocuments translation in Moscow, please help!!

Dear VJ family,

 

I am stuck and i really need some help. I am in the process of applying for my police certificates from Moscow Russia since i lived there for a while. The Russian consulate in Kenya advised me to go through the Kenyan embassy in Moscow which i did. They in turn advised that i needed to write a notarized authorization for someone in Moscow to do the process on my behalf. I have done that.

 

Now, the police department wants translated copies of all documents. Anybody knows where i can translations fairly fast at an affordable rate?

Can anybody advise on the best way to actually get the police certificate form the Russian Police?

 

Thank family.

I'm aware that my dad has to fill out an i-134, and provide evidence (we have a bank letter stating the amount on his accounts, a letter from his employer and the last 3 pay stubs) but I keep seeing people talking about tax transcripts, is this necessary?

You have the information to get what you need.

That Divorce Decree is on file in the State and County you stated here.  GO TO THE COUNTY COURTHOUSE. where they filed for Divorce.  It is there on record.

What he will need is:  Get a Copy in Full.  A Seal and Stamp and Initial by the County Clerk DATED.  About $5.00 US dollars is the charge.   He should call ahead to pull from the Archives of Records.  Not a big Deal.

A Copy is Fine to Fax and show.
