K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresIncome requirement.. experience feedback please.

Shouldn't be an issue, they do take the 2012 tax return into account, but I think they would take your explanation into consideration. Just make sure to prove your current income properly. 

At this point, you do not need to prove 125% of the poverty line, that comes when your fiance is adjusting status...at which point you will most likely have your 2013 tax returns to hand. 

The interview favours (but does not legally require) you to prove 100% of the poverty line, or that at the very least your fiance will not become a public burden. 

If you are concerned about the financial aspect, then find a co-sponsor, but I do not think you need to worry about it!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedureswhat if us citizen doesnt have job at the time of nvc processing?

I just got my nofa2 on august 20th and I know that I will need to send my alien fiance the affidavit of support in the coming weeks/months but I am concerned because I am pregnant and had to leave my job for health reasons. I currently have no income, but Ive heard I can use a co-sponser. Is this true? Or will our visa be automatically denied because I have no income? 

 

And on another note, how long is average for this phase of the process? I am due in late November and though we tried to expedite the process, they denied it. Is there still a possibility that my fiance can be stateside for his sons birth? 

you can get a co-sponsor, if you have a stable employment history, this will work to your advantage. 

With regards to your pregnancy, I was also pregnant during this process and ended up having baby very prematurely...and more than a month before our noa2 and my american fiance missed the birth :( so I know how hard it is! 

We got our noa2 in the middle of may and I only had my interview last week so, if he is able to make it, it will be only just! Though I wouldn't count on it, don't let it get you down! Just look forward to the time you are all together :) and who knows, there's still time yet! When it comes to the interview stage, make sure your fiance sends in a cover letter advising that he will be prepared for any short notice cancellation spots for his interview, make sure you include details about the baby and that he would like to get to the states as soon as for support...I did this, and had my interview 10 days after receiving my letter!

Good luck!!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresHELP I-134 Affidavit of Support Co-Sponsor

 

How did you answer this question po >.<  

 

Date submitted

do not intend to make specific contributions to the support of the person(s) named in item 3.
(If you check "intend," indicate the exact nature and duration of the contributions. For example, if you intend to furnish room and board, state for

11. I intend
how long and, if money, state the amount in U.S. dollars and whether it is to be given in a lump sum, weekly or monthly, and for how long.

Oath or Affirmation of Sponsor

I acknowledge that I have read "Sponsor and Alien Liability" on Page 2 of the instructions for this form, and am aware of my responsibilities as a sponsor under the Social Security Act, as amended, and the Food Stamp Act, as amended.

I certify under penalty of perjury under United States law that I know the contents of this affidavit signed by me and that the statements are true and correct.

Signature of Sponsor 

 

 

 

Can't remember our exact answer, but it was something along the lines of "My Husband/Wife and I intend on providing accommodation in our house for my son, my son's fiance, and our grandson until they are financially stable. We will also support with any other financial struggles they may come across." Words to that effect. We didn't put any figures or anything down! 

I'll 'hopefully' be going over to the states in a couple of weeks and the three of us will be staying with his parents to start with so it really helps out! You could put something similar down. It really helps that the co-sponsors are your parents as with them having a strong relationship to you it shows the embassy that they are more likely to be financially supportive for you both than say a friend or distant relative. 

If they are intending on providing any cash amounts or helping with anything specific, then go ahead and put this down, but I think the point of it is to have in writing a promise to be financially supportive. 

I would note although that London is one of the most lenient embassy's when it comes to the financial support docs. though so you might want to try and be a little more descriptive. As long as you have enough supporting evidence (I only used tax returns, but you might want to include pay stubs and letters etc.) then I think you should be fine. 

Hope this helps smile.png

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresHELP I-134 Affidavit of Support Co-Sponsor

My co-sponsors were my fiance's parents who also had a joint tax return. We just had them fill out separate forms with similar information and then submitted their return along with the forms. In the relationship to you part, we just put "sons fiance"... my interview was approved, so I assume this is correct! 

Good luck! 


I have some questions that cant be answered with searching alone.

 

My Fiance's paper got Approve this July 29th and He has an interview this  September 10th. My question is for the I-134 paper affidavit of support I fill one up then my co-sponsor does as well but Since it will be my parents co-sponsoring me their account and tax 1040 is also joint together  I have collected the W2 forms from 2010-2012 as well as their ITR. We also collected our bank verification account and job verification.

 

The only thing that is confusing me right now is how would i type theirs or them writing it since they are joint together would be in a separate paper and same pretty much answers just different name and since their my parents they would put for my fiance how is he related as Son in Law?  

 

PLease help anybody I really appreciate it i have to send the paper as soon as possible but I am so overwhelm with all of these things :*

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresGI Bill as financial support

Hey

we used my fiance's GI bill on the I-134 along with his tax returns of previous years from being in the military. Was fine to use and we didn't even make the amount they like to see (but did in 2012). For that reason, we used his parents as co-sponsors, though the man interviewing me murmured that I didn't even need the co-sponsors! 

To be on the safe side, I'd attempt to find one co-sponsor, but I think you're set :)

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresStill no info after Tier 2 inquiry AND Senator inquiry

I filed my petition in August 2012 which was received 13th August 2012...I didn't get my NOA2 until the 16th of May 2013... and only got to the states last month. I don't think there's a way of complaining about it unfortunately. I don't know in what order they process applications, but some are lucky and get it sooner and some are just more unfortunate. :(

Hoping you get your NOA2 soon!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresTax Returns - Preview only ?

I am hoping to send AOS package off today (for the second time - so can't make ANY mistakes). 

I am resending my husbands tax returns, just to be on the safe side. He uses turbotax and they have PREVIEW ONLY plastered over them. Will these suffice, or will they reject these? You can still see annual earnings etc.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresNew co sponsor?

1. Yes.

2. Just provide the new I-864 from the Joint Sponsor and his supporting docs.

3. I believe there is a form to do that. Google "USCIS form change of address."



 

Okay great thanks!


MariaElizabeth92FemaleUnited Kingdom2014-02-19 20:52:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresNew co sponsor?

After filing for AOS using my husbands parents, both as 'household members' to sponsor our case financially, a lot has changed. Our application was returned with a few minor errors and a lack of evidence of earnings. Since that point, we have moved house, had a falling out with my inlaws, and my MIL quit her job. For the reasons stated, we made the decision to ask my husbands brother to co-sponsor our application using the I864. 

1. Can we change the sponsor considering the above? 

2. As our circumstances and application has changed, do we re-do the whole thing, or just provide my brother in laws forms and evidence? (nothing was returned to us, just a letter requesting a few things) 

3. Do we send a separate letter stating our change of address, or can we just note this in our returned application? 

 

Thanks!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresYes, you can visit!
I got back last week from visiting my Fiance. I'm from the UK and it was pretty simple. I read I'd need a load of documents to do with my K1 visa, but I didn't. They made me wait around a little so they could ask me some basic questions and then looked at my return ticket/itinerary. I'm 5 months into the K1 process. As long as you have proof you're going to return home, and can answer how you met etc. then you should be fine :). I should also mention I'm pregnant, that wasn't an issue either!

This is the Philippines forum, bro.  We talk about Filipino culture all the time.  If you want to hang out here, that's cool, but don't expect us to be talking about chinese food.

If you've ever been to a Filipino party, or are connected to Filipinos on a social network, you'll know what I'm talking about. They're very photogenic, but a bit overboard, IMO.

 

Ok, but what prompted you to report this random observation? lol


rangersebMaleChina2014-01-21 04:10:00
PhilippinesFilipinos and Photos

I'm not sure if it's a cultural thing, but I haven't met a filipino who is camera shy.  They love taking pictures and love being in the picture.  Americans aren't as photogenic unless we're celebrities or like to pretend we're famous.  Granted, this is the digital age and you longer need to purchase film and then pay to have it developed, but good golly, can we put the camera down for a moment, forget about posing and just enjoy the moments for what they are instead of it turning into an audition? 

 

 

Ummm... what?

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresRFE :(

Thanks for the info, I'm still waiting on my NOA2, but I have a feeling I'll get an RFE after reading posts like this. I don't think it'll be a big deal, like the previous poster said, its good they are active with your file, and should get things approved after you send them whats needed. Good luck, hang in there. 

 

 


On a site note, can a person submit more "evidence" prior to getting the NOA2 or RFE? I'm about 8 months in, maybe better to just wait and see if they actually need more information.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsChanging of Address
I also moved during my process and had to change my address.I suggset you do both. Call and send also an email as a confirmation. You can never be to careful. USCIS needs to have your correct address to send you the NOA-2. Moving will not affect your process. But keeping an updated address with the USCIS is very important. Hope this helps.

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresPls how long does it take NVC to respond to I-864 and Visa application fees?
It may be a good idea to call the NVC if at all possible to find out if they have received your I-864 and if it has been entered in the system. Keep in mind that Thursday was a holiday and the NVC was closed. It only took 5 days from the daye our I-864 was delivered for the fee bill for DS-230 to be generated. To submit your forms with this application your case barcode cover sheet is also needed that is generated from the fee bill receipt page. To the best of my knowledge you will need a police clearance from Lagos since you have lived there for five years. NVC needs police clearance from everywhere you have lived since the age of 16. I hope this helps.

For the record, my case was approved on the 19th November and sent to the embassy on the 17th December. NVC informs me that the electronic version of my case is already at the embassy. So.. me so impatient call shoot email to the embassy to request medical examination and interview dates. Still impatient after to hours.. I call the embassy told that my case was approved and sent to them electronically by NVC. AND that I want to celebrate the new year my fiancee here in the united States... The lady on the phone can't resist but had a good laugh and said it is not going to happen cause new is just around the coner. I laugh and said it was a joke. But when can she start medical exam and will be the interview date. She reply that she can start next week and she will email about the information about the interview date.
Then I wish her merry Christmas..
