Dear Tyson and Wichelle,

I had my interview last Wed, Nov 19. (K1) The consul officer said everything looks good except for my fiance's income. They looked at his 2005-07 tax transcript(all under poverty level too) and his 3 recent paystubs.
I was asked to send or submit a sustained income of not less than $17,000/yr along with my passport.
I was given a pink slip and asked to pay at Delbros booth P250.00
I am worried because my fiance doesnt have a fixed income. He is working for a car dealership company since April 2008 and is paid on a commission basis.
I am still waiting for my fiance to send me his paper.
Tyson, will it help if I also send along his bank statement? He doesnt have a big amount of money in his account but maybe it can help? Is there a deadline as to when I should send to the embassy the required document?
Thanks and congratulations by the way!!! good.gif

We had an Internet Cafe in Muntinlupa City.

It was not really profitable but I learned a lot and had a fun time.

Anyone from Oregon or nearby? I think Wichelle will need some Filipina friends!

does he have assett's ? a house with equity, more than one vehicle, maybe his mom has jewlery they can have appraised and use for assett's, etc. good luck !!



they did not ask for assets or bank statements..they were asking for an evidence or proof of sustained yearly income....I am hoping that what I am to submit to them this week is enough to show that he can make more than the required income per year...thanks...

My fiance's mother volunteered to become a co-sponsor, but the consul did not accept it. :-(
She said, unfortunately, for this type of visa that we're applying for which is K1, they do not accept co-sponsors.
However, I think my fiance can reach or even exceed that amount a li'l bit if we include his projected income(of 5mos.) which is from jan-april2008 & Dec 2008.

to Jaynelle & Haole, thank you very much for your reply...I welcome all comments and suggestions from anyone too

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresPink Slip, what does it mean?
Hello everybody! I just had my interview this morning and the consular officers(yes there were 2 consul officers inside window30, a guy & a woman-both americans) asked me for an evidence of sustained income. They said everything looks good except for my fiance's income statement. I was given instructions on what to send and do, given a pink slip and made to pay for Delbros delivery fee of P250. I cannot say that my interview was very successful because of the additional required document. I always thought that pink slip and delbros receipt indicate that you are 100% guaranteed that your visa application is approved, unless if you comply with the additional requirements...

Me too, I find it strange that its a no no to mention kids and work during interview. You are applying for fiancee visa for heaven's sake. Don't you talk about future plans like having kids and money matters before getting married??? I dont believe the consul doesnt want to hear your fiancee wants to work. The consul wants to hear from your fiancee that worse comes to worst, your fiancee will help you with financial matters and not just sit and watch you kill yourself by working for the family or be a public burden. That's all. Just give what they want.

By the way, I put yes on the question if I intend to work on DS156.


I SO TOTALLY AGREE WITH YOU STEPHNRIA!!!

I'm surprised they'd count an un-concieved child, I wonder if that's more a misunderstanding of some sort or an actual policy.

The bit about not mentioning an intention to work seems strange, it sounds like great advice for someone getting a visitors visa where there is no legal option to work, but for a k-1 visa... that's the start of a life together, and most people will work, I'd be more suspicious if someone planned to come to the US and expected not to work! I guess the real question is how it's asked though, the most immediate thing is of course to get married, but obviously someone will eventually get around to seeing at least some of america and wanting to be able to work sooner or later.

The problem with this, I assume, is the fact that beneficiaries seem to be treated like catttle, or just some piece of furniture the USC wants to import. Of course most of us will work, and most of us actually have been doing that all this time (wherever we are from), but it's apparently assumed that once we get into the US, we'll become leeches and any and all our knowledge and experience will get somehow erased. =/



You are right. I guess her fiance was asked if she's willing to work to help out and assist their income, after they get married or once she gets a permit, onlypeople with tourist visas are not allowed to work.
pinkRiaFemalePhilippines2008-12-24 21:33:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresVisa delayed
Manila Usem does not accept co-sponsors for K1 visas. Your fiance should state in her letter that she is willing to work to be able to help out with your finances ONCE PERMITTED to do so, like once she gets her greencard or after she gets a work permit. She should not forget to say that her main reason to go to the U.S is to be with and marry you.
