I think the requests for money are different for everyone.

If he is asking you for money for rent, everyday bills, food, internet access......I would run the other way.

If it is money pertaining to the visa process, then I don't think it is necessarily a bad thing. Inusah and I discussed the bills for immigraiton and our wedding. He is paying for the reception and furnishing a house that his dad offered us to stay when we go home. He had saved up money for his plane ticket here. I told him to use it towards the wedding so that we could go all out. Inusah has never asked me for any money, what I have given him has only been related to immigration. I already have his money for AOS. We don't want to wait on filing that once he gets here.

I think requests for money should be judged on a case by case basis.

Well put.

My husband and I have split the costs for the visa petitions. We have taken trips back and forth, but it usually works out half/half always; as a marriage should be (and that isn't to say monitarily speaking.. that's goes across the board). You never expect your spouse to make the same, or the make more. You do what you do with the means that you have.

Oh sorry that I'm a European in the Sub Sarahan-Africa thread... I just thought it was an interesting one.

Quite alright! Maybe, i should have asked what careers do you guys have so i can switch, because my means aren't pretty!

There is a saying I use quite often, "Kämpfen und Siegen." Basically, struggle and success. It can be applied to everyday and every experience (I think). When the going gets tough, the tough gets going.

I don't mean to bother anyone by replying to my own post numerous times, but I really need and would appreciate some help with this question. I have received some answers already, but anyone go through the same situation? If yes, what do you think my chances are of getting the approval.

Here is my question:
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 limity. 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?

Thanks again for any help. Let me help put this topic to rest.

Hey Elvis - I know what you mean. I spent many years in Germany. Fluent in the language and I love the country and the people. My husband and I are going to try it out in the USA, for me, I could care less where I live as long as I have him. He wants to try our life together in the USA and if that's something I can help him with, then why not? We both had a wonderful time in Germany and we know that works for us, but I guess you could say he is ready for a change. I am pretty sure I would need a visa to get a job there. I tried already, but because we weren't married, I would've had to apply for a visa. I do love Germany though.

Thanks for your reply Elvis. That's great news that your Dad helped you out. I would love for my parents to do the same, but I seriously doubt there is anyone that would help me sponsor. So, I suppose I will have to take my chances. I just would like to see if I have the means to do it on my own. If yes, then great. If not, then I will have to wait until Feb/Mar. when I get 2008's tax return. *eyeroll* More waiting. Glee.

Anyone know for sure if what I have will be enough?

Thanks for the reply badspellor - Here's my other problem. I'm 23. I have 1 car (under my name), paying rent to an apartment and a college degree. I have nothing else, really. I just really hope that everything will be enough. I mean, by the time my petition even gets to the NVC, it will be around Nov/Dec and they will be able to see with my paychecks that I am well over the 125% limit.

Thanks again for the reply. It's greatly appreciated!

Hi fellow members,

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 limity. 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.

Most everyone makes the US citizen the agent. It reduces mail time, and is usually the best situation.
On I-864, Part 2 is information on the Principle Immigrant, that would be the NON-US citizen (your husband if I read properly. So put his address etc. in Part 2.

On I-864 Part 4 #12 it says Information on the Sponsor, that is the US citizen, you I believe, so you put your US address in this part.
On #13 I put the words "same as mailing" in all the spaces. I know it says "(if different from mailing address) but everyone told me to leave nothing blank, so I didn't

Last, look over the wiki on James' shortcuts:
http://www.visajourn...Jame's_Shortcut

You probably wont need any of the shortcuts. As I am reading on the forums lately the online payment system also lets you print out most of the cover sheets you need.
Still, the wiki gives you information on what forms you need to gather ahead of time, and will reduce your time spent in the nvc process.

Thank you kindly for answering my questions.

New to the NVC Club

Hi Fellow Members,

My case was just recently approved by the CSV and it's on its way to the NVC. I just had a couple questions before the process actually gets started. I haven't received my case number yet, but I am sure I will shortly. This seems to be perfect timing because my husband is coming in 10 days and will be here to sign all the forms. I am pretty sure we will be using James's Shortcut, so I would love to get these questions answered beforehand. Thanks in advanced for the help!

1.) Regarding the DS-3032 - My husband (the beneficiary) can appoint me as his agent, correct? So all information regarding his case will be sent to me and I will just have to worry about obtaining his signature, right?

2.) On the I-864 - Affidavit of Support form (This is probably a horrible question, but I will ask anyway) - For Part II. Information on the principle immigrant... Do I use my husband's address in Germany, or the address at which we intend to live at in the USA. I am confused because I am looking on the example forms and "Jane Doe's" address is a USA one (the same address as "John Doe"). So basically the question is, will I use my husband's address in Germany, or the address I listed in the DS-3032 (my address where we both plan to live at).

I think that's about it for now.

Thanks guys and gals once again for the help and wisdom! Much appreciated.

Kind regards,

DS-230

On the G-325A form for my husband, he has his employment listed... however, he has just remembered that he actually started one of the jobs on a different month. Is that going to be a problem if his job start date differs on the DS-230 than what he put on the G-325A? I just don't want to receive an RFE for that. Any help/recommendations would be appreciated.

Thanks Roza. I have already emailed the NVC asking them the question. I hope it can be answered by them. I don't really understand the recriprocity website for Germany. I understand all the visa and what not, but it fails to answer my question specifically. According to what I have read, he will only need one police certificate recent within the last 6 months. Anyway, I appreciate the help and lets see what the NVC says.

Hi fellow VJ members.....

I have a couple important questions regarding the DS-230 and Police Certificates and I'm hoping you guys can help me out.

Regarding Question #20 on the DS-230: First of all, if my husband lived in different cities of Germany (all in the north), would he have to list each city where he lived from the time he was 16? What if he can't remember exactly?

Secondly: Must he provide police certificates for each city he lived in, or did I read it correctly that it goes by country? So that would mean that he would only need the one police certificate from Germany?

Lastly: On questions 21a. and 21b. I am the US citizen I will not be joining him before of after his arrival to the USA. Would I simply just write none seeing as no one will accompany him to the USA?

Thanks for your help.

Kind regards and a wonderful weekend,

Przy

I suggest you call NVC and get your IIN. In the meantime have the beneficiary email NVC the choice of agent. Don't wait to get anything in the mail. Call the automated system for a status. I noticed the automated system is 2 days behind. Best Wishes.

QUOTE (Sky2k @ May 4 2008, 01:26 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>

It could take up to 3 weeks to get the DS-3032 generated. It has happened to many people in the past.

I just tried calling the NVC (finally getting through) and my IIN number wasn't available yet. On the other hand though, my case was just entered into the NVC system on May 2nd.... so this could take a little while before I receive and additional information.

This is just a general question regarding the DS-3032. Why would someone already email the NVC when the DS-3032 hasn't been generated? Wouldn't this cause delays because if the paperwork hasn't been generated, then why would you submit the information now? Is it just better off to wait until I receive the message that the forms have been generated before having my beneficiary email the NVC to assign me as the agent.

Also, at this time will I be able to call the NVC to obtain my IIN number?

Thanks,

DS-230 - Two Police Certificates Needed?

Hey there,

I was reading through Lotofpatience's NVC flowchart/shortcuts and I read that we need 2 original police certificates. My husband has 1 from the main police station. On the shortcut paper, it says that he needs one from the Passport office. Is that true? 2 police certificates are needed?

Also, if 2 certificates are needed, could anyone specify where a German citizen would obtain the "passport issued" certificate?

Thanks.
