IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Proceduresmanaged to water damage my visa!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"everyone most completely has $404 to fling at some ###### so long as they're white and white collar" god bless the USA.


400 dollars is a lot money to anyone no matter there race. So your statement above gives me little reason to feel sympathy for you. Grow up and stop blaming race for your issues

Welcome
If he comes on the VWP don't stretch it to 90 days. I always go 87 or 88 days incase of canceled flight from

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Proceduresno assets but high income
Very informative
Thanks

assets are optional, usually put in to make up a lack in income.

so, let's say the poverty guidelines (at 125 percent) for 2 people is 20,000 usd (just a nice round number, not the exact # from I-864P)

then the petitioner/sponser has 18,000 in income to show. He's missing 2,000 to hit the mark, so far, yes?

assets are valued at 1/3 of cash value (some 3 year rule, eek) so to make up the 2,000 difference, USCitizen would have to show another 6,000 usd in assets.

for the OP - if yer way past the poverty guidelines, remember - assets are optional.

Timmycell No, not at all. Income and assets are 2 different things. Income usually is reported on an income tax return. High salary without prior year income tax returns usually means he wasn't working prior year(s ), so had no income to show. I-864 evaluation is done at the Embassy IV Unit - they DO look at everything - prior year income, tax returns, and current income. It smells like prior year income is missing, be prepared to explain (in writing) why this is.

icha - Ya, the sad part for being self-employed, is that the IRS allows for many deductions so that the taxable income amount is much less than the actual income/receipts. Good for relieving the tax burden on the petitioner, but bad for showing high numbers above the poverty line for the petitioner. If he has assets to throw in, suggest he throw them in. Taxable income amount is what's being used on the evaluation, not income before schedule C deductions.

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedureshow long does Dublin embassy take to send out visa

I have my visa interview on the 18th of October. I would like to be with my wife by the 31st of October. The embassy say they take 2-3 days to process it but does everyone think i'd be taking a bit of a risk booking flights now for the 26th.



They say never book flight until you have Visa in hand. :thumbs: :innocent:
but if you want to chance it :whistle:
I think your safe.
We had an issue with Betty's Irish passport :bonk: and had to get new one.
interview was Sept 27, mailed back new passport to embassy on the 28 from Dublin.
they would not let us drop it off, had to Mail it. :whistle:
sent them email on Sept 29 asking if they received it.
heard back Sept 30, saying yes, they did and we could pick visa up on Monday Oct 3
I again sent email asking them to mail it, because her flight was on Oct 9
We did not want to spend another day running around Dublin.
they said yes and told us it would be mailed on Oct 3,
she got it on Oct 4 :dance: :thumbs:
Just some things you may deal with. Hope not
but we did. they had inverted her name on her Irish passport
FYI
the X-ray is not necessary BUT you MUST Take the Medical report out of X-RAY envelope and bring it
with you.
The medical is not sent over, its in the X_ray file, So Bring it :bonk: :bonk:

Why would someone from Ireland not use the Visa Waiver program to visit? There is no reason for the stupid hammer over the head symbol. That is just rude.


Because it takes over 6 months to get your Visa and you don't wish to be separated 3 months or more from the one you Love correct? I think that's a good enough Reason not to use the VWP and apply for 6 month tourism Visa.
The VWP only allows you stay 90 days now add cost of flights and travel :help:



There is no reason for the stupid hammer over the head symbol. That is just rude.


Really ???
this was intended for myself :bonk: :bonk: more then you. for 2 reasons
1) We experienced this :crying: and my hope was to save someone else the headache. :thumbs: :thumbs:

2) I misspelled the V W P .....I used V M P in my original post :bonk: :bonk:
typing @ spelling R not my strong points :help: :help: :crying:
I also can laugh at myself with out getting SO offended by someone on the web :blush: :unsure:

But hey if the shoe fits :whistle: your welcome to wear it :bonk: :bonk:

Now see another mistake again. I was posting under the brains of the outfits name. the wife :bonk: some days I can't chew gum and walk :rofl: :rofl:

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresWaiting for the Interview...getting worried

Hi all,

We filed our I-130 directly through the US Embassy in Dublin, Ireland. We sent off our packet 3 materials to the embassy on the 16th November 2011. We have now been waiting to get an interview date for a little over 8 weeks. I wonder if anyone else has had this experience with the Dublin embassy and if there is anything I can do about it. My husband has had to move to the US already as he had to start college 2 weeks ago, so I'm getting a bit crazy about the delay at this stage!!



try emailing them . did you get any verification they received the I-130

Did she contact the American embassy or did her labor stall? She is over a week overdue


I don't know whether she contacted the American embassy or if her labor stalled. From the information I have, which is limited, she went to the doctor today and he gave her an injection and was told to come back tomorrow. blink.gif I don't have the details of what the injection was for or why. unsure.gif

When I got home last night, my wife demanded that I take her someplace expensive.... so, I took her to a gas station.....

and then the fight started....

*********************************************************

I tried to talk my wife into buying a case of Miller Light for $10.95. Instead, she bought a jar of cold cream for $7.95. I told her the beer would make her look better at night than the cold cream.

And that's when the fight started.

************************************************************************

After retiring, I went to the Social Security office to apply for Social Security.. The woman behind the counter asked me for my driver's license to verify my age. I looked in my pockets and realized I had left my wallet at home. I told the woman that I was very sorry, but I would have to go home and come back later.

The woman said, 'Unbutton your shirt'.

So I opened my shirt revealing my curly silver hair. She said, 'That silver hair on your chest is proof enough for me' and she processed my Social Security application.

When I got home, I excitedly told my wife about my experience at the Social Security office.

She said, 'You should have dropped your pants. You might have gotten disability, too'

And then the fight started.....

***********************************************************************

My wife and I were sitting at a table at my high school reunion, and I kept staring at a drunken lady swigging her drink as she sat alone at a nearby table.

My wife asked, 'Do you know her?'

'Yes,' I sighed, 'She's my old girlfriend. I understand she took to drinking right after we split up those many years ago, and I hear she hasn't been sober since.'

'My God!' says my wife, 'Who would think a person could go on celebrating that long?'

And then the fight started.....

********************************************************************

Rear-ended a car this morning. So, there we were alongside the road and slowly the other driver got out of his car.

You know how sometimes you just get soooo stressed and little things just seem funny?

Yeah, well I couldn't believe it.... he was a DWARF!!!

He stormed over to my car, looked up at me, and shouted, 'I AM NOT HAPPY!!!'

So, I looked down at him and said, 'Well, then which one are you?'

And that's how the fight started.....

************************************************************************

I took my wife to a restaurant. The waiter, for some reason, took my order first.

'I'll have the strip steak, medium rare, please.'

He said, 'Aren't you worried about the mad cow?'

'Nah, she can order for herself'

And that's how the fight started......
