My work is Life and Health Insurance, so I can easily answer your question regarding Cash Value of a Life policy. Only Whole or Universal Life Policies have Cash Value. Term Life, which most people buy today has no cash value. If a person dies the Death Benefit is the Face Value of the Life Policy; in other words, the amount of Life Insurance you purchased when you got the policy. Cash Value is only a factor if a person turns in a Life policy before their death, since the Cash Value can never exceed the death benefit. If you have a Whole or Universal Life policy, your cash value begins to accumulate usually after the fifth year or so. It will then increase with each premium payment you make until you reach age 100. At age 100 almost all Life Policies mature, and at that point the Cash Value equals the Death Benefit.

Hope that helped.

Indeed it is.


side note: here is my situation: i lost my job back in febuary and with mine and angela's approval looming i took a job at wal-mart. the pay is what you would expect not being a manager, annually $20,385. i looked up on the USCIS web site the minimum poverty level for two people = $17,500 if i am not mistaken. Just to be sure am i looking at this correctly and indeed cover the magic 125% income requirement?

my case like everyone elses is unique, my employer doesn't give out employment verification letters with salary information. who ever is intrested has to use "the work number" seems like a pain in the #### and a cop-out for HR not doing their job. Suffice to say i asked someone at the embassy in manila for advice on how to approach this situation. their response was to include pay stubs and explain the situation. I guess what i am trying to say is i am a nervious wreck with things not happing how its laid out and not understanding this whole process completely. not to mention, riding on this is mine and angela's happiness for the rest of our lives.

so am i right is $20,385 enough money and if faced with the same situation as i about the employment verification letter could anyone be so kind to crituque my letter i wrote explaining why the salary and annual income was left off the employment verification.

Below is letter i wrote to go along with the I-134 packet:

I-134 Supplemental Information

Dear Sir / Madam,

The following information is being submitted for reasons to make clear information left off on the employment verification for part of the I-134 Affidavit of Support form. Due to employer policy they cannot write letters of employment verification which include salary information. Enclosed in this letter are the last 3 pay stubs I have received. Make note pay period 04/25/2009 to 05/08/2009 exhibits only 57.6 hours due to a short work week because I just acquired employment with Wal-Mart Inc on 04/28/2009 and the first few days of employment were not full days. The latter two pay stubs marked in order which they were received exhibit typical pay. I am paid every two weeks on Wednesday/ Thursday morning.

My Pay rate currently is $9.80 an hour, I am full time and work 40 hours a week plus overtime. However Wal-Mart can only guarantee 40 hours per week. Minimum annual salary is $20,384.00 calculated for an average 40 hour work week using the following formula 9.8*40*52 = 20,384. Where 9.8 is hourly wage, 40 the number of hours worked, 52 weeks in a year. The rate of pay may be verified using attached pay stubs. Pay rates are noted under the description column and types include; Regular Earning ($9.80), Overtime Earn ($14.77), Sunday Premium ($1.00). Sunday Premium is a dollar added to Regular Earnings for hours worked on Sunday.

Going by the minimum poverty tables posted on the USCIS website for two people in the household, in this case Angela and me. Based on the table located on the USCIS.gov website “How Do I File an Affidavit for Support for a Relative” my income is indeed above the 125% of the minimum poverty level for a two person household. Humbly this yearly rate of pay is not as much as originally posted due to the loss of my professional occupation, Geologist. I currently am seeking professional employment; no doubt word of the difficulty of the endeavor has reached around the world during this recession. Suffice to say, I submit the bare minimum at present and proclaim that Angela and I will not ever be a burden to the State or Federal Government.

I hope that this enclosed information answers any questions in my ability to provide for myself and my dearest Fiancée Angela De Los Puyos Era. I love her with all my heart and I want to live the rest of my life with her as my wife. I hope this information and the rest of our application suffices to fill the role of needs for her to join me here in America, specifically Baton Rouge Louisiana.

US Embassy and Consulate DiscussionQuestion on the I-134 evidence of support
I am filling out the I-134 form and pretty much have everything filled in except for a couple things and i need some help with those;

the first is related to number 7 on the form where it asks " i have life insurance in the sum of: with a cash surrender value of" my question is what is the cash surrender value? is that the payout if i die?


my second question is related to the oath or affirmation of sponsor.

i get the part where it says signature of sponsor, subscribed and sworn to (affirmed) before me this 20th day of may, 2009 at __?????____. My commission expires on _______ Signature of Officer administering Oath______________________ title <---- this part of the form - who is suppose to give me this oath - or what happens here? because i was under the impression that the I-134 did not need to be notarized for a K-1 visa. I am lost and frustrated and in definitely in need of some help here.


Thank you in advance for yalls responses.

Igor's list can be found here http://www.visajourn...filers.php?cfl=
This is only based on VJ members and not the other 1000's out there that are in the visa process, but it is quite handy, although it can get quite depressing if you dont move in the right direction on the list.

Hope you're still going to visit us in Dec '08 VSC Joshua whistling.gif

Haha true dat - Angela finally made it in on the 11th of july, she was scheduled for the 9th, but being that neither of us has done this before. well lets jus say that there was a issue with the seminar. Luckly she was able to take it later that day after being denied boarding. jus under two bills later and a couple hours in seminar and alot of panic she was booked for saturdays flight in july. it's august now, our wedding date is set for september 5th and things are moving along fine now. well other than trying to plan and pull off a wedding in short notice and low budget sad.gif but im not complaning. Angela is here - were happy and things are falling into place. just yesterday her social security card arrived and as far as the wedding goes, the list of things to do is getting pretty short.

Im glad when i log'd on that i see everyones case moving forward and i wish the best for each and everyone of us. Good luck to you all and best of fortune of happyness find each an everyone one.

Thank yall, apperciate everyone whose been here for Angela and I. Its nice finally havin the weight lifted off our shoulders and our destiny in our own hands. I am so excited i can't wait till shes here. One thing i have noticed is that the flights one way arn't the same available round trip. At the medical exam they asked her what POE we were planning on useing - we said Dallas - now it looks like either Houston or New Orleans will be better choices. Does it matter which we pick? Is it set in stone now that she answered Dallas in the medical exam.

Joshua, I wish you the best of luck. I had the same fears. I literally made like $400 over the poverty line for a family of 6, which we are. I was terrified. Also, last year I made just under it & when you look at my taxes, I had so much other stuff taken out that reduced my taxable income that it looked scary as hell. I didn't think we were going to make it.

You know what? They didn't even look at my proof! I couldn't believe it lol.

I hope you get the same kind of luck smile.gif


Thank you, i hope so too, tomorrow is the BIG day, i don't know anything else we can do. Every document is completed, all information is correct and filled in. Angela and I have been over everything mutiple times. Only thing left is interview, still have a serious case of the butter flies though, we both do.

June 25th is the date i can't wait for it to be over with and have a Approval, i dare not think about the alternative... my heart will be broken sad.gif(

125% of poverty level for she and i is $17,500 i jus make 20k at the moment and im worried that they will deny us for some lame #### reason, scratch that im terrified...

i wished i could see in the future and know, i need sleep, i need less stress, most of all i need my baby here!

BR_Joshua, that's great! How long did she have to wait from the first time it was scheduled until the second time?


she jus went back the next day, at st lukes its not a appointment style clinic rather it is a pure clinic in the sense, first come first serve. Had everything not gone wrong starting the night before the first day i think she could have made it in a day... photo's were lost and had to be retaken on the day of the medical, had to print a letter from the embassy so she would be admitted, and manila's famous traffic. she did it all on two hours sleep. yes it did take a while to wake her up both days.

I jus hope the days keep going fast - we are so ready to be done with all this and be toghter smile.gif

Thank you Xaenyth, i was really worried!

@BonoBGood the manila embassy has a pay call center, for questions or scheduling interviews you have to use the call center - it cost 18$ us or equivalent in philippine pesos. I guess they did this because of the volume at that particular embassy. kinda rediculious, thankfully though for my direct calls i have international on my phone so its not as expensive as it could be. but i will check out skype - sounds like i may need to use it soon, however the 18$ is for a 1 800 number and i still have two charges left on it.

thank yall for yalls help - was totally freaking last night!

My job uses that a work line thing for verification. I didn't give them a chance to say no. I wrote a letter to the HR people and told them exactly what I needed, word for word. I told them a phone number wasn't going to be good enough as it was for immigration purposes and I sent it off fully expecting to be told no haha. To my surprise, I got a letter with exactly what I asked for - even the extra copy. Prior to sending it I had whined to my direct supervisor about that problem and she was willing to write something up for me if the HR department fell through. Worst case, I was going to write and sign my own letter and have it notarized and hope for the best. Good luck. good.gif

I don't have any insight on your issue with the petition, but I swear I saw a post earlier in the K1 forum that someone was having the same issue. You might want to search there. It was just today or yesterday.

WOW this is different, so I got the hard copy of the NOA2 yesterday, and the case has been forwarded directly to the Manila Embassy. Skipping the National visa center, has this happened to anyone else?? I called the embassy and they do not have record of the petition, I called the national visa center and they said because it states that it is going to the embassy they will not get a record of the petition. How will I track it? It doesn’t appear to be following the time line for the K-1 visa…

Also has anyone ever had to deal with an employer who does not fill out letters of employment and instead uses the theworknumber.com for verification of employment? I ask this because my current employer is in this boat. This adds another non linear expectation to this process. I spoke with the embassy (yay 18$ phone call) and the lady mentioned that I may write a letter and submit it with my I-134 and explain the situation. All my current employer will state is that I am an employee with them; I can give pay stubs which they can deduce my income from that potentially.

I am sweating bullets now, am I in a world of hurt, should I be panicking? Anyone have any insight?


Its appreciated

Thank you

Joshua




Cool im going to check it out - i just got off the phone with Lorane at the manila embassy and she swears up and down it will go to the NVC. she even referred me to come to this site to read up on how the visa process works blink.gif

well we ended the conversation with a alternative to the letter from employer and agreed to touch face again next thursday or friday. im going to call the uscis tomorrow and see if they can tell me where my i-129f has gone to, and the NVC. but all things said it is still early for nvc to have recieved it. so unsure.gif maybe by mid next week someone might know whats going on.

But now if i went its to the point were it would cut into the money i have set aside to get married and go on a honey moon. My question is it necessary that i attend the consulate interview. Im under the impression that it is not required but i want to make sure sooner as opposed to later were if indeed i need to be there i can make arrangements.

i got some questions about up coming events in the journey. i was hopeing that i could get some help from my fellow wait mates. First is Packet 3? what is it? i found packet 4 - but i couldn't find anything describing what packet 3 is.

the next bit of questions are in reference to form ds - 156, i will list them in order.

22) when do you intend to arrive in the U.S.. i think she should respond by just simply stating after final visa approval, but the answer box is a pull down box.

26) how long do you inted to stay in the U.S... well we are getting married and planing on living here till death does us apart.. is simpley forever a appropriate answer?

32) do you intend to work in the U.S. eventually she does, but when and were are dependent on when she is allowed to work and were is depedent on where she can find a job.. so any insight to this question is going to be helpful.

33) do you intend to study in the U.S. as of now - no she doesn't but what if she changes her mind years down the road, im leaning with a simple NO here and maybe later if she changes her mind, my guess it will be after AOS

thats the just of it, other than the last little nagging thing - i found a list of interview questions a while back - i was jus clicken links and i for the life of me cannot find this list anymore. if anyone knows where a good list of potention interview questions are. let me thank you in advance.


apperciate any and all who can help out - thank you

number 180 on igors list, please please please let us get approved soon!! innocent.gif


I feel you. I'm #164 and eagerly waiting. It's frustrating cause even though more people are getting approved, I'm STILL #164.



When searching the DHL records for my packet from NVC to Consulate, I realized how many petitions there actually are that we dont even see here on VJ. Out of the 5 we see approved here on a day, there are a good 30 others we dont see.

Strongs to those of you still waiting. All good things DO come to those who wait.



It just seems so incredibly slow as if what your saying is there is a good chance mine and the rest of our apps that are not approved yet and being adjudicated by someone you wouldn't trust with safety scissors!



anyways heres a picture of me and angela on our way for some chillen on a beach biggrin.gif

Im back from visiting my baby, wow is el nido so friggen beautiful... if yall ever get a chance to go to the philippines hit up palawan - wow. needless to say the trip was great and my only regret was it was not long enough and the part were i had to leave sucked. but other than it only being a week long and having to leave was great. i got lucky on my flight too, was either placed on a exit row or row 20 (aa 777 flight 60 & 61) so no complaints on that front.

anyways it truely was awesome - if anyone has ever wanted to go island hoping - go to el nido - the resorts there have 3 different standard packages - all of them are to die for.

but still no touches on our application, its getting frustrating having to sing the same ole song to my baby - maybe tomorrow will be the day. csc is rocken away while vsc sleeps the days away - what gives - when i first started - vsc was the ticket!

grats to those approved already - i jus wished it was my turn to post on that subject... i guess tomorrow may be our day.
