My personal opinion is that they are different people and I think that's how FBI and Immigration would look into this. It should not harm your husband's interview neither the process itself. But anyways I would suggest you to contact a lawyer to get a prophessional advice in order to eliminate all your doubts regarding this matter. That would be the correct and prudent step in this case!

Good Luck and I wish you all the best!!

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresUSCIS officer's wife too foolish...
QUOTE (lotofpatience @ Apr 23 2008, 05:06 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
Generally, USCIS's front desk officers are real donkeys yes.gif They know only how to read a computer screen, no intelligence at all !

Unfortunately, one of that kind of officer's wife was also a donkey yes.gif She was not much educated. They have a son who is studying at 3rd grade school. Their son was little ok yes.gif (-1 multiplied by -1 is +1)

Their son was in the school and his MALE teacher was taking a class about earth. MALE teacher taught all of them about the shape of the earth that it is spherical.

Son came back to home and as part of his home work, he repeated - earth's shape is spherical. His mom listened to it and told the boy - son, earth's shape is not spherical. It is flat, you can see it, right ? Otherwise, we all will fall down, right ? Poor boy, he was really convinced by his mom.

Next day, unfortunately, MALE teacher happened to a sk the shape of the earth to this boy. Boy was little confused what to say and he was scared about the punishment by his teacher if the answer is wrong.

So he intelligently replied like this - "Your earth has spherical shape, but my mom's earth is flat !"

Yup, the I-130 is for relatives. biggrin.gif Good Luck! Processing times depend on the service center and the type of application. You can check the current processing times on the website here where it says processing times. Just choose you appropriate service center. good.gif

Ok , spoke with USCIS, they said the dates will change next month around May 15th and that I 130's are processed within 8 months. They said that the overflow of applications has caused them to stay in July and that the application processing will go much faster once they are done with the July batch. I really hate this, if there was ever a point in my life that i could really say I hate to be alive this would be that time.

This is all ridiculous. I tried calling the USCIS hotline and they were absolutely no help. I simply asked what was going on with the processing dates. Are they updated and are the dates for the I-130s at the CSC correct. The guy just said, your case is pending right now and you'll have to check the site to see when it updates. He was telling me things I already knew and completing avoiding the question I asked him about 4 times before saying, "Sorry, you aren't helping me at all" and hanging up. It's ridiculous. I hope those dates aren't true, but for me, the March 15th dates are the only ones showing now. I wonder what happened to April 15th? dry.gif

That's my problem. I have no one. What happens then? Do I wait until next Jan/Feb to get my W-2? Or can they just see on my paystub that my year to date pay is over the poverty limit. Then there would be no use in waiting for the W-2. My 2006 W-2 was over the poverty line. This just sucks because I have no one.


I think you should call the NVC. We've all tried to help you but ultimately it's them AND perhaps more importantly the officer at the interview who you'll have to convince, not us. It is my understanding that they scrutinize most closely your last 12 months of income. You could get fired in a month for all they know so I could see why they could still turn you down with a letter of employment and recent paystubs. Where your stubs could get you ahead is if you provide the last 12 consecutive months worth that adds up to over 125% of the poverty line for two people. Once you wait long enough after your summer sebaticle you should have it. That beats waiting until you file taxes for CY2008 anyway. Does your spouse not have any assets either? Perhaps he can transfer some of his funds into your account to come up with the $7500?


I understand that the NVC ultimately makes the decision. I was looking for possible common cases where people were in the same situation as me and don't have a co-sponsor. More importantly I was interested on what would happen if I didn't have the means. Whether I would wait or not. I appreciate the answers and help. My spouse doesn't have the assets either unfortunately. Unless you count his retirement fund in Germany, but that can't be touched. I'll just have to see. Thanks everyone for the help.

Best to get a joint sponsor if you can. You say you can't so your next best thing is to make up the difference with assets.

Doesn't take much in assets to show 5 times $2,500.


When you are a student fresh out of college... you don't have many assets. I have one car and that's it.

I even have a copy of my personal employee file and it shows my income too. This is the only part of the immigration process where I am stressing. My income is well over the poverty line. Just my tax return from 2007 missed it by $2,500. I keep reading though that just the "projected" income is what matters. I have paystubs to prove it all too! Help.


I found out the hard way that they don't look at only the current income. I would get a joint sponsor to be on the safe side.

So, I had taken quite some time to read through the appropriate threads regarding th I-864 (Affidavit of Support) form, but my question isn't really answered. Anyway, I'll try to make it clear and to the point. I have been at my job for the past 3 years or so and my salary is well over the poverty limit. My tax return for 2006 was over the 125% poverty line, but 2007's tax return missed it by $2,500 because I was in Germany visiting my husband and getting married. I have paychecks to prove that had I been there my income would have been well over the limit. Here's my question: Is my I-130 going to get denied because my tax return didn't cut it, or are they going to be able to accept the letter from my employer (and personal employee record, pay stubs, etc.) as proof enough that my income is well above the 125% poverty line. Are they understanding to the fact that I wasn't in the country, but my wages are well above the limit?

Any help/input would be appreciated! Thank you guys.

There is no connection with income and I-130 approval. Income requirement comes after the I-130 approval. When your case is with NVC and while filling Affidavit of Support I-864. You have income above poverty lines for the 2 years. Also, you have supporting documents to prove that 2007 income also above poverty line, you don't have to worry about it. Please write a clear letter and attach it to the supporting documents while mailing I-864 to NVC. Good luck !


I suppose I should have worded it a bit differently. *g* I know it won't affect the denial/approval process of the I-130. I know this I-864 is only asked for after the I-130 has been sent to the NVC. 2007 was not above the poverty line though. Had I been in the States working, I would have been above the poverty line as I was still listed as employed by my job. I have my personal employee file that lists how much I made. The big question is, are they going to be understanding that I wasn't above the poverty line because I was visiting my husband and getting married. I have paychecks to date from Oct. 2007-Present that prove my income is back to normal and above the 125% poverty line. Is that enough though?

Hi Folks,

So, I finally managed to find a co-sponsor after such a long search. I have a couple questions regarding the situation though. First, I am pretty sure that my salary and such will be enough to sponsor my husband. When do you actually find out if you need a joint-sponsor. I would only like to use the joint-sponsor as a last resort. So, is it possible to send my I-864 alone and then wait to see if I need a joint-sponsor, then submit the other I-864. I am not sure when they look at the I-864 forms, so I would hate to get the bad news at the interview in Frankfurt. Does the NVC review the I-864 and let you know if you need a joint-sponsor before or after going to the foreign embassy? If it goes to the embassy and I find out at the interview that I need a joint-sponsor, am I able to just bring the joint-sponsor I-864 with me and submit it then?

Sorry, that all sounds a bit confusing, but I would appreciate some answers of similar situations of people that found out that they needed a joint-sponsor.

Thanks and best regards,

Przy

You have to fill out an I-864 as well, but as long as your sister is above the 125% poverty guidelines for whomever she is sponsoring, you'll be fine. She'll have to submit a serperate I-864 with you. If you have had a job filed for taxes in the past 3 years, make sure you submit your W-2s and tax returns. If you didn't have a job then you won't have to worry about filing taxes. The NVC is only asking for the last Tax return, so techincally you can just exempt yourself from that and basically label yourself as a student. Like I said though, as long as your sister is above the poverty guidelines, you'll be fine. good.gif

If it helps, I've got 2 original copies of everything.

One set with a photocopy of them too is going with the DS-230 to be processed by NVC, as they require the originals too and a photocopy of each .... and I have the second set for the Embassy if NVC lose or don't forward the originals to London .... which they are supposed to do.

Bit of a costly pain in the butt, but it's better to be safe than get an RFE for not sending the docs .... which can cost even more time.

QUOTE (Mononoke28 @ May 29 2008, 12:44 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
This is what you need to do. First go to the DOS link and look up Frankfurt, then click on applicant's civil documents and that will show you a list of the documents you need to send the NVC with the DS-230.

You DO have to wait for the NVC to send you the DS-230 coversheet, you SHOULD NOT send them anything before then or it will delay the process and you might end up having to send them again.

Also, based on your timeline, it looks like you haven't paid the IV Bill yet. You won't get the DS-230 until you have paid the bill. And you won't get the IV Bill until they process the DS-3032 which you just sent on Tuesday. It takes them about two weeks to process it.

In the mean time, read as much as you can in the NVC forum so you can familiarize yourself with the process at the NVC, especially now that you can pay these bills online and it will cut your waiting time by almost half.

Diana

Thanks for the reply. I know already how the processes work though. I am waiting for the IV bill to generate and once paid, the coversheet is available then too. We only have to wait until it has been processed and the system says the DS-230 is being generated. At that time, the paperwork can go out. As I have seen in so many other timelines, once the IV Bill is "paid" you can send the DS-230 out the same day. I am just questioning which documents must go. Germany says the same documents as those shown by James's shortcuts etc. Anyway, thanks again for the reply.

Anyone have any pointers? What papers will I have to send to the NVC if my acse will then go to Frankfurt after being approved? I have read everything twice and then two times again. I understand what has to be obtained, but I am reading all over the place on "official sites" that I have to send in the DS-2001 and not my documents. Oh well. Any help, anyone?

I have a couple questions for everyone (specifically anyone who worked with the Frankfurt consulate). I am in the process of gathering all the DS-230 items, but I am horribly confused. On the Germany (US embassy) website, it says not to submit anything and wait until the interview date. It says I should submit the DS-2001. The checklist form. I don't want to wait to receive the package from the NVC with all the directions because that could take forever! What do I do with all the paperwork that goes along with the DS-230. Anyone know if I send it all in, or do I hang on to it until the interview process?

Thanks and kind regards,

Przy
