Feel free to ignore my advice if you think it would offend whoever wrote the letter, this is just the part of my university writing center mentor coming through . First of all, "is employed" should be "has been employed" since they're talking about the month of May. Also, "approximately" does not need to be capitalized. Saying "annual" and "/year" is redundant, so I'd choose one or the other. They're missing a few dollar signs. And the rest of it could just use a little tweaking to sound a bit more professional. "Dear Sir or Madam: This letter is to confirm that Merilee E. Hartell has been employed with us since May 15, 2008. Her Laundry Attendant/Housekeeping position is full-time and her annual salary is approximately $16,892. However, Ms. Hartell often works overtime, which may increase her annual salary to between $17,750 and $18,400. We are more than willing to accommodate Ms. Hartell in her requests for overtime so that she may reach the set federal financial requirements for her foreign fiance to join her in the United States." I hope that was helpful! And know that we're all wishing loads of good luck your way . A bit off topic, but have any of you received private messages from the newly registered member godwill? I got a slightly creepy message asking for me to email him/her pictures and it said something like, "Remember, love knows no color". I got a little freaked out and sent the administrator a PM. I hope they ban people like that. Ugh. YOU ROCK!!! Thank you dear one! No but I got a creepy letter from someone asking me for nude photos!! I have NO idea who this MORON IS!!! AND he used a name I know! ALthough it was not him! I would have killed the guy! I swear! OR what about these ones: My mother is dying and I need your help with money one! I swear SCAM CENTRAL!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	July '08 filers	QUOTE (Corinthians @ Dec 2 2008, 08:06 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Here's another interesting thought Cham...I got this from the State Department's Website: Should K-1 fiancé(e) visa applicants use the I-864 or the I-134? Since fiancé(e)s are nonimmigrant visa applicants, they should use the I-134. They will need to submit an I-864 to U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) when they adjust status to conditional immigrant in the United States after they are married. Do the same income requirements apply to all immigrant visa applicants even if they use the I-134? No. The 125 percent minimum income requirement, the most recent year's tax return and other requirements only apply when an I-864 is needed. Applicants using the I-134 will need to show that their sponsor's income is 100 percent of federal poverty guidelines as required under Section 212(a)(4) of the INA. http://travel.state....types_2994.html Well I thought of that they want 100% and if we tell them and can show them the bank statement of the balance FROM the savings well that would be cool!

I make 16,292 min and up to 17540 max (with overtime which I get alot of ) I also only have one tax return from last year which shows ####### on it because I was released by the doctor to go back to work finally. It only was 5k on it as it was the end of the year. Before that I never worked and my ex was the one who filed. Can I use my SSI of 546 a month as well to add to it. I dont know what I can use for assets..my car is not in my name yet ( almost as I making payments...) I dont have much in savings and I fear this will break us if I cant get him home..we are both bawling and pissed off right now. My son was a complete jerk about the whole thing and I tried to explain to him about it...yet he made me feel as if I was a burden to him. I feel horrid inside and feel like dying I do not know what to do. I JUST WANT HIM HOME and I have no one to cosponser at all...no one I've been thinking about ways to get around this. I have some but I'm not all too sure how ethical it is. It looks like you're only about $3600 away from meeting the poverty guidelines. Can you temporarily borrow that from a friend or family member? If you put that money into a savings account then you can count it as assets for the affidavit of support. Additionally, if you file your 2008 taxes right away - beginning of Jan - you could submit that with your affidavit of support and your income would be higher than previous years. Is your employer at all flexible with your hours? I don't know how much OT you can pull in the next month but if you can do alot that may pull you over the poverty guidelines in your 2008 tax return. I hope that is helpful. I'm really sorry that you're having a difficult time. Thing is I been at this job going on 7 months now and the raise is FINALLY showing up. Someone from Oz said I dont need the tax return that they just asked for bank statement (which I will file and claim my neice and nephew as they been here 6 months and their mom (my sister) wont make enough to get squat SO we are going to file that into the bank (which should be around 4 to 5 k) and THEN mail that over night (3 to 6 days to kai for his interview) BUT from what the post said that aubry posted it looks like I can use my disability pay i get as well and I am working on getting a second job	Cham	Female	Australia	2008-12-02 19:14:00

Have you explained to your son that the i-134 affidavit is not legally binding? I know people keep saying that you need the last 3yrs tax forms, but it doesn't state that on the I-194 destruction sheet?? Have you or Kai contacted the Embassy he will have his interview at to see what guidelines they go by, will they accept 100% or must it be 125%?? I contacted them so waiting for a reply back...WISH US LUCK because we need it..im scared I would lose him over this but he said NOPE it will only make us stronger baby...How the hell did I get so lucky!

I found another post that relates to SSI from death benefits of a spouse, if that is more appropriate. Try not to be too hard on your son. I've read the affidavit paperwork, and it all sounds terrifying to someone to sign. I wouldn't blame anyone for being hesitant to sign it. I fully understand why my father flipped out about it, and I'm just lucky that begging and pleading and negotiating worked. People can say terrible things when they're afraid. Best wishes, and I hope one of those posts helps you. He called me and feels like a jerk due to his harsh words...So he cried I cried. Thanks Aubrey I been on a hunt and also I am trying to obtain a second job. I have a question..I was given jewelry after my grandmother died...can I use that as assets There is jade, turquoise diamonds sapphire and opal jewelry and some of the stones are not even set yet I had it all appraised for insurance purposes and it comes to 2, 341 can I use that as well???

So if they are still waiting on paperfile, then what was in the DHL package that they received and signed up for??? The way DOS lady explained it to me, the Embassy had our electronic file (e-mail), but they didn't have the paper file in their possession yet.

I'm depressed I want my NOA2 TODAY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! on the brighter side girl...THEY RECEIVED IT...better to have them finally have it instead of going where is the rfe we sent,,hang in there its coming Aubrey...Oh great LOL I think I will go get one of those vapor things saw them cheap at walmart...I feel horrid and my ears hurt:( To be honest I don't think that I can find any brighter side in this process anymore. I'm losing hopes, time and patience. I'm feeling sad and alone without my man, he feels the same way. What is the brighter side on that ? Like I said before, I'm ok with the USCIS taking time to give visas, but at least I would love to be able to travel to the US to be with the love of my life during the waiting time... sweetie if ANYONE knows what it is like to be away from her man is me it has been a year and a half now almost 1 year 7 months now since I got to kiss him hold him and laugh with him face to face. I understand that..oh boy do I..BUT if you do not stay busy stay positive, then you are not only failing him you are failing yourself in this process...you knew..well you both knew it could take up to 6 months JUST for the noa2..some got lucky some did not..its a gamble...BUT its close and you know its close..YOU had an RFE...it went faster then some I have seen on here...a few couples waited 2 long horrid months until USCIS did something or even let them know they were working on the case. You have proof they receive it..It will come.. One of you has to stay positive..trust me..with both of you being so negative and not saying hey babe it will happen..things like this are expected it could be worse and so on..you will both fight and we do not want it to lead to that... Now hold your head up and just know THEY have it..they FINALLY do..and YES it is okay to be sad or mad BUT stay positive..KNOW they are working on YOUR case and not letting it sit for another 6 months and using it for toilet paper We love you to pieces but get busy planning a wedding IT WILL HAPPEN...YOU know it will..WE know it will..it will be okay sugar!!!
