K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Proceduresaffidavit of support

Hey kennard, thanks friend, well Im just really curious I had a friend and we both filed the same day and I figured out that my timeline here in VJ get bounce, I mean the date to adjudicate that makes me more excited.I know that Im not yet approved but I want to be prepared as well, and my friend told me she already had the form I-134, thats why I want to ask if its okey to filed it early.

Your friend may have front loaded their application. But it is not necessary to file the I-134 until you hear back from USCIS.

You file that after you receive your NOA2. But it is good to get familiar with its contents and be ready to get all the documents ready when you get your NOA2. Check the link below on the steps. That is what I did. As soon as I received my NOA2 which was 190 days after my NOA1 I was able to get my files together quickly.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedurestax transcript
If you make a certain amount of income it is the law for you to file taxes. The good news is you can back file your taxes for the past 3 years. Contact an H & R Block or other tax preparation firm and get it done. If you can't comply with this basic law how will you be able to comply with others to get your fiancee her? (this is from the standpoint of USCIS).

Don't worry lots of people had this issue. Like I said you can back file your taxes and then you will have no issures :).

Also if you didn't make enough income and your dad is a co-sponsor you will need his tax returns as proof of income.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresDo you really need pay stubs and income tax returns?

Thanks, guys. I had no idea there was an additional requirement by the embassies. Thank you

Absolutely - so giving too much is better than having less ...

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresDo you really need pay stubs and income tax returns?
Here is what the embassy from the Philippines ask for

EVIDENCE OF SUPPORT. You should be able to demonstrate that you will not become a public charge or be a burden on the U.S. taxpayers for financial support. A completed I-134 Affidavit of Support Form will be useful to the consular officer to evaluate your petitioner’s ability to be financially responsible for you. You should also submit your petitioner’s most recent U.S. Federal income tax return (Form 1040) and wage statements (Form W-2). Employment letters stating salaries and bank statements may be included to substantiate the I-134. Download Form I-134 at http://www.uscis.gov...tal/site/uscis.

Definitely for that and whatever else he might have forgotten. You won't know until the letter arrives. If he aswers it quickly he should get NOA2 at the earliest 2 weeks after USCIS receives his response.

When responding to a Request for Evidence it is extremely important that you place the blue coversheet on the top of the response you send to them. The VSC receives thousands of pieces of correspondence each day, if the blue coversheet is not on the top of the response it will be placed in “general” correspondence and NOT sorted as a priority, which may delay your case.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresI-134 financial problem

You said his gross income last year was $17,105. What is his current income? The 125% will only be based on his 2011 tax return if he is self-employed, otherwise it is based on what he currently earns. Is he making enough now? Current income is what is most important.

Yes, it is times 3 when using assets to make a shortcoming in income.

If you decide to go visit him there are things you can do that will speed up the process such as having him sign a G-325 form and taking his passport pictures while there etc.

I used just the space there to explain how I met in the past two years and my application was approved.

Here are my words for question # 18.

"I met my fiance (put her name) when I visited the Philippines (coming from New Jersey, USA), from January 10, 2012 to January 24, 2012. I also met (her name) parents and siblings along with her extended family and friends. On January 20, 2012 I proposed to her and she accepted."

Send in pictures of both of you together. Write at the back of the pictures who and where and date. Send in copies of the hotel receipts, boarding passes, passport stamps. Then when your fiance has interview at embassy send the originals him. That is what I did and got NOA2 approval.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresEvidence

So you cannot show that you have a current relationship, only a relationship over 2 years ago? I think you have misunderstood what is required.

Showing that you have a current bona fide relationship is what will get a visa. AND that you have met face to face within the past 2 years.

Exactly. Any evidence must be from September 2010 and onward providing that your application will be sent in September. Anything before September 2010 is not proof.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Proceduresapproved NOA2...how to handle NVC?
ConGraTuLaTions :) :dance: :star: .

You can call NVC and they will ask you for your NOA2 Id number that starts with a WAC and they will tell you when your file left for Manila embassy.

The number is (603) 334-0700. You need to get your Manila case number it will start with MNL2012.......

When it reaches the manila embassy you need to follow the instructions from the embassy website.

Packet 3 right from the embassy website.

That is correct. I tried to send mine to VSC last February and it was sent to the Texas lockbox and then they sent it to VSC. So you are not saving time by sending it directly to either Vermont or California.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresI got RFE and need some help
You have to wait for the actual RFE to determine what to do. They won't make you redo the entire G-325 form. They will only make you make a correction to the line on the form that is wrong on a separate paper. So just patiently wait. Your RFE might be simpler than you think.

When responding to a Request for Evidence it is extremely important that you place the blue coversheet on the top of the response you send to them. The VSC receives thousands of pieces of correspondence each day, if the blue coversheet is not on the top of the response it will be placed in “general” correspondence and NOT sorted as a priority, which may delay your case.
