OK, let me see if I am understanding this...He is making a good income (self employed) but he only claims to be making $15,000 a year?



his ITR 2006 13,292.00 his self employed making good income he fixed his income to be low so that he will not over taxed he said IRS only numbers in his IRS so he wont over taxed he live modestly. i read this thread to cover up any shortfall. 125% 19,687 his ITR 13,292 difference is 6,000 x 5= 30,000 for my understanding 30,000 enough in his bank as asset cash to cover up his short fall. thing is he only claim it very low if he truthfully claim his income it could be exceed of 125% my concerned is the req. of the CO.


It looks like if he has 30,000 in the bank he would be okay...but what he is doing is tax evasion and is a federal crime. If he ever gets audited (and the self employed often do...) your future husband may find himself in a ton of trouble, if he lying to avoid having to pay thousands of dollars in taxes.


Not necessarily. A lot of IT contractors form limited companies and then pay themselves a salary. It's not illegal although some changes were recently made to the UK tax laws to make it less lucrative than it used to be. I am assuming that the US laws are similar for companies.

Thanks for the infor Rosemarie, so do I get to choose whether I have the interview in Vancouver rather than Montreal? Basically looks like the whole process might take 9 months...thats cutting it close to our wedding date sad.gif

Glad to see you have only 3 days left to see your other half. Im very happy for you! smile.gif


Thanks smile.gif . Unfortunately the choice of consulate relates to where you live or everyone would be choosing Vancouver. One option, if it is available to you, would be to move to the Vancouver catchment area so that your case gets processed quicker. I am not sure which areas come under which consulate. This might be a question better asked in your regional forum.

Can anyone help me out, Im from Toronto and my fiance is in Illinois. Can anyone from Canada let me know what the approx. length of time is to obtain the fiance visa(k1)? Were planning an October wedding and im afraid the timing will mess everything up!

Spoke to a few lawyers and they are charging me an arm and a leg...and also telling me the K! process takes well over a year sad.gif

HELPPPP!!!


I will help if you fill some information on your timeline even though you haven't filed yet. The USCIS portion is taking around 4-5 months at the moment (the 2 service centres VSC and CSC have slightly different timings). The consulate times will also vary depending on where you live. If you come under Vancouver then interviews are scheduled in a couple of months but if you live in Montreal's area they are taking 4-5 months.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresOne more question
The relationship stuff is really for the interview although it can't hurt to include a sampling in the petition just to paint a picture for them. When I was interviewed at London I took as much relationship stuff as I could find such as emails, letters, cards, screen prints of skype logs, boarding passes etc but I wasn't asked for any of it. It is best to take it just in case though.

I'm in the US, my fiance is in the UK. We are getting ready to file the K-1 so that we can get married here and live here. Question is: once we have filed the forms here in the US, is he still allowed to come over and visit me? Does he have to wait alone in the UK until he gets the letter from the British Embassy? We want to be here in the US together and Christmas and for 90 days following that.


Coming from he UK shouldn't be a problem. Just bring ties from home just incase and be honest. You should be fine.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresQuestions about interview
The only reason I would think it might help is because it shows that the petitoner has made the attempt to come for the interview which in a way might show that it can be seen as more serious, both want it more etc.

Just what I thought, but I would still want my fiancee to go to the interview with me.

Hopefully, it will be the day that life can finally start smile.gif

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresQuestions about interview
Hey all.

Well, I have now been waiting over 4 months for an update to my I-129F petition, still nothing, not even a touch >.<

But, the good news is, my fiancee is comming over to England to be with me for 6 months, hooray, hail how England is a lot more leniant on how long a tourist can stay without a visa ^.^

Anyway, my questions are:

I remember reading and hearing that the petitioner can also attend the Embassy interview, is this true? If so, does it help the interview in terms of showing a bonafied relationship and stuff?

Another, does my fiancee still need to fill out the I-134 even if she doesn't have a job at that current time, if so, will she also need tax returns etc?
Relevant to the affidavit of support, I am getting a job next week, but of course, upon approval of the visa, I will be leaving my job and moving to America. So is there any point me filling out the I-134 or should we leave this mainly down to our Co-Sponsor?

Also I have read in some threads on this forum about how taking proof of a relationship with the petitoners family can help the interview go better. Is this true? If so, would things like: Screenshots of emails etc be proof?

Thanks!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresUSC Visitng Me, Surprising outcome
Hello all.

Not last Saturday but the last, my fiancee (the USC) visited me in the UK, intending for a 6 month visit.

I arrived at the airport at 9:00 my time at London Gatwick airport, and her flight was due in for 9:30.

I was waiting for her at the gate, as hordes of people came out of the baggage collection area to leave the airport.

I kept waiting, eager to see my love come around the corner, but after 1 hour, there was still no sign.

After 1 hour and 30minutes, I went to Customer Services and asked what was going on, they contacted Immigration and informed me that Immigration was holding her there for further questioning.

She had brought ALL the documents and proof she would of needed to get by easily, especially as she has never left the US before, no criminal record, nothing which would of affected her at the POE, but this is the FIRST ever time I have heard of a USC being held by UK immigration.

The Immigration people called me and asked me several questions including:

- How did you meet?
- When did you meet?
- Do you have a job?
- Where do you live?
- Have you filed for any Visa?
- How much money do you have?
- Will you support her whilst she stays in this country?

The list goes on and I found out later she was asked those same questions before me, and they were comparing our stories together.

After 4 hours of waiting at the airport, upset, scared and worried that I would not be able to see my fiancee that day, Immigration finally called and said that she would be with me in about 10minutes.
And 5minutes later, I saw her come out of the baggage claim area, I ran up to her and hugged her close.


Although the Immigration officer PREFERRED that she would stay in the UK for 3 months, he did stamp her for 6.
She would not of got through if she didn't bring the following:

- A copy of the NOA1
- A copy of the whole I-129F package (We did not have the NOA2 at the time, but after I booked her flight, we got the NOA2 notice online)
- The IO made her get onto the USCIS website and show that we were approved for the NOA2 (So keep your receipt number ready and remebered!)
- Since we have been together in real, we have made a scrapbook of eachother with tons of pictures during the timeline of us being together, and this really did help support our case about how this was only for us to be together, not as an intending immigrant.


I advise that you try your best to not do this, which unfortunatly she did:

- Bring too many clothes (she brought two big bags full of clothes, hair stuff, etc)


This is only OUR experience with UK Immigration, others might of had it worse or better, but be prepared if you are a USC wanting to get through UK Immigration.

Thanks!

From what I understand, they will fill that out for other people that are dependents (ie - if they have children). It comes into play when determining income sufficiency (comparing it to the poverty line for household size, etc)


Ah I see, thank you very much.

The interview COULD be just around the corner for us, it has been nearly a week since they recieved it, so could be going out to the Embassy within a week or so, then they just need to send the packets and give us our interview date smile.gif

On regard to question 3 about the notary, I am not sure that can be done because it needs to be signed in front of a notary, so having it done in someone elses place can be seen as fraud of a sort and just wouldn't be allowed I don't think.

Am I to believe that for the I-134, both forms need to be signed in sponsor of ME, not the Co-Sponsor needing theirs signed to the petitoner?

I also have a lot of questions about the I-134, I would list them but I am sure there is some guide here or something that is a walkthrough for the I-134 It confuses me and my fiancee though, mainly because of the little things like:

- The Co-Sponsor doesn't have a savings account, he has 2 checking accounts, would those work?
- About the "dependant" part, where it says ... Is wholly/partially dependant on me, would that be the beneficiarys name, of the petitioners name from the Co-Sponsor? And I assume when the petitioner fills out a I-134, that would be my name under the dependant part?

A lot of it would come down to if the Co-Sponsor is filling out the form for my name (the beneficiary) or the petitioner.

Thanks in advance, please don't forget my questions from my 1st post! smile.gif


If the petitioner (US citizen) will be outside of the United States, the affidavit must be sworn to or notice affirmed before a U.S. Consular or Immigration officer. In order for it to be correctly notarized in the USA, the signer must be present.

To answer your latest questions:
-- checking account is fine
-- The "dependent on me for support" does not include you or the beneficiary. Both you and the co-sponsor will list the beneficiary (your fiancée) in question 3 ("affidavit executed on behalf of").


Good luck!



So, question 8, "dependant on me for support" neither the Co-Sponsor or beneficiary fills that out period?

Hello all.

As of the 13th of December, the NVC has received our petition biggrin.gif

Just a little over 3 weeks since we got the approval notice on our I-129F.

I have some questions about the I-134 and what you need to bring to the Interview.

I think it was either last week or the week before I sent off for my Police Clearance Record via the Surrey Police, and a maximum of 40days is for them to notify us about it.

Now, about the I-134, if some of you have read some of my previous posts, then you would know that my fiancee (the petitioner) has arrived in the UK on November the 24th.

A question about the I-134 is:

1. It is to my understanding that aside from the Co-Sponsor, the petitioner also needs to fill out an I-134. Is this correct?
2. If the petitioner does need to fill out an I-134, does she need Tax Returns? If so, dating how far back? A few months? A year?
3. Because the I-134 needs to be signed by a public notary, but according to the USCIS site, because the petitioner is going to get the I-134 signed out of the US, where would we have to do that in the UK? Would any public notary work? Or does it need to be signed by the US Embassy as the site states?

And some other questions in regard to being prepared for the interview:

1. When do I need to book my Full Checkup? And where? Does the Embassy state where it needs to be done? And if so, do they notify me about going to get an appointment closer to the interview date?
2. What else do I need to bring to the Interview ASIDE the following:

- Police Clearance record
- Updated letter of intent to marry
- Proof of meeting
- Proof of a bonified relationship (pictures, scrapbook, emails, etc)
- I-134 from Co-Sponsor and Petitioner (?)
- NOA2 + NOA1 (?)
- The medical checkup forum or whatever it is that they give me or forward to the US Embassy

What else do I need to bring?

Thanks in advance

Also, would a male co-sponsor need to also fill out any other forms along with the I-134?

I know this isn't everyones cup of tea, but if you have online access (which I can safely assume you do), then I suggest that you two could find an online game to help pass the time.

Me and my fiancee played an online game called "Tibia", which is an online MMORPG. I wont go into basics, because I wouldn't want to get into trouble for advertising.

It just helped our time pass by a little, as I said, especially some of the more "mature" people here, it isn't everyones cup of tea, but for people that like games, especially to play people with, I suggest some online ones.

Anyway, as I hopefully end my VJ and you begin yours, I can truly say it WILL be worth it.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresPHOTO's RFE

woodgc

Each case is different and each adjudicator can and will perceive evidence submitted differently. Unfortunately country of origin of a beneficiary can also figure into this as well and an adjudicator may require more clarification of the evidence that has been submitted. Is that fair....no....does it happen.....it appears so. Its all up to the adjudicator. Many submit photos to support primary evidence with dates either only written on the back or on a sheet beneath a photo copy of a photo etc without receiving an RFE. Evidence is about the whole picture. eg. without a year on the airline stubs that evidence is useless as it could of been at any time. Photos submitted without clear indication (a recognisable landmark eg) can also be deemed not acceptable depending on other evidence that is submitted. What will be accepted for one may not be accepted for another depending on the whole picture in the minds eye of the adjudicator. It does seem on the evidence that you have submitted that perhaps not even the passport stamp was accepted as proof because the supporting evidence failed to show that you actually met in person within the required 2 year period. I realise you did submit Motel receipt in English itemized with both your names on it, but perhaps that was misplaced....either that or they just didnt accept it as sufficient supporting evidence because of the other evidence submitted. Evidence must be looked at as a whole, not individually.....How it all fits together to support each other.

Digital prints with date stamps to my knowledge is not a requirement as shown time and time again by other members who do dot receive RFE's. You could call the service center and speak to another operator and get an entirely different answer. That is why it is often referred to as the misinformation line.

I would resubmit what you have already submitted, but I would also gather further evidence. This could also include affidavits from family, friends etc. When you mentioned airline stubs, was this boarding or ticket stubs? How detailed was your declaration in answer to question 18 of the I-129F?

I am sorry that you received an RFE and I wish you all the best on resolving this.

Constructive advice as always!

I'm a little concerned with the evidence we've produced.
All my photos were digital photos which, when printed at the shops did not have dates printed at the back.
Nevertheless, I'm more concerned with the fact that airline stubs do not have dates on them. We have submitted the itineraries which obviously will have dates of departure/arrival, I wonder how how effective this secondery evidence will be? :unsure:
Along with that my fiance also photocopied his entire passport, this will identify his last visit to the UK.

What's most stressful for everyone is the difficulty in being able to make ocntact and/or ask for advice directly from USCIS.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresWhat is the best "evidence" to bring?
If you're from a country that requires a B1/2 visa to visit the US there's a good chance that it will be denied.

However, if you're from a country that can use the Visa Waiver I think your chances are good providing you have evidence of your ties at home. There are a couple of old threads around where people have posted their experiences and if memory serves me correctly not a single person entering on the VWP was turned back. I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong.

OK - I take back everything I've said in this thread.

After reading the other quoted thread it looks like getting married in Wisconsin within 6 months of getting a divorce is not straight forward!!

(Thanks for spotting that Nini & Bee).

If you want my advice I'd file the papers now and get married somewhere other than Wisconsin. good.gif

I think the Wisconsin law only applies to someone who's divorce was granted in Wisconsin. If your boyfriend's divorce was granted elsewhere then you have nothing to worry about.

I thought you were talking about the divorce laws in his country. If they stated that he couldn't marry for 6 months then you wouldn't be able to file the I-129F, but if it's just a Wisconcon thing then you don't have a problem.

If you could get married somewhere other than Wisconson (say Vegas for instance) then you can file immediately. You don't have to stipulate to USCIS where in the USA you will eventually marry so I can't see how it will matter. Just make sure that you marry within 90 days of his arrival, whether that's in Wisconson or elsewhere.

Good luck.
