K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresQuestion about affidavit of support, for K1 Fiancee Visa?

Congradulations!!

for all the success stories I have read here.

 

Its been almost a year and my fiancee and I are getting ready for cultures to come back from St.Lukes (Manila, PH) for the medical. The  interview will soon be scheduled...I hope. I will be fedexing a I-134 affidavit, among other ducuments,

to my fiancee and would like to know if its imperative to get notarized copies of the I-134 document and my last two tax returns??

 

Additionally, I am thinking about doing a cover letter with my affidavit stating my networth. I am worried because of my recent lay off (6 months) that my current income may not substantuate enough for the support of my fiancee? I own my house out right, I ahve a networth of over 300,000 in property and cash in the bank? Does this qualify as credible evidence?

Please let me know...very worried and in love!!

William and Mary

 

 

It serves no purpose to notarize the 134 and is not required. Send tax transcripts  or complete tax returns including all supporting docs.

Assets must be liquid. Your house would have to be sold to obtain the cash to be of help really. Cash in bank is fine; send statement with 134.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedureswant to apply for fiance visa..

Worrying about co-sponsors is an epic case of the cart before the horse.

 

To say this has red flags is a vast understatement...all it needs is for the male beneficiary to be far younger than the female USC.  

 

Either that, or an exercise in creative writing...

 

 

Maybe but if she cant support him she better figure this out even before her cart leaves for Cambodia.

This is either a rare set of events or as you suggest simply creative.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedureswant to apply for fiance visa..

Thanks you for reply i will ask her to find if they can accept co sponsor.. then i will reply here again.. smile.png

You should be the one to contact the American embassy there not her. You are asking if they will allow you to use a cosponsor. She doesn't need one; you do.

This is a great time to being to understand something about her country and the people that live there. Then get to know her in person as a Cambodian women.

I am not sure of where you are from but suggest you study her religion because these beliefs are going to matter to people you haven't even thought of yet. That would include her family if this gets serious.  

What you are about to try is going to be an epic journey. Good luck.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedureswant to apply for fiance visa..

Hello..
i just joined this forum i have some questions to ask..
my gf is us citizen i am from Pakistan..
we been living through the internet since may 2013 ..
her income is not enough for sponsor me at us sad.png
what kind of application i should submit for immigration to us live with her ?
and how long process will take ?
Thanx in advance hope u guys will help.. smile.png






She will begin the case by petitioning for you. As a G F she files for K 1. However with income that cant support you she will need to find out if the embassy in Pakistan will accept co sponsors.

You both should consider marrying then filing for a C R 1 type visa. About the same timeline but results in green card so you can work sooner. May also help if it comes to A P. The C R 1 does allow the cosponsor.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresDocuments Translation Doubt

Hello everyone,

 

I'm currently living in Brazil however I lived in Korea for 3 years, so obviously I have to get the criminal certificate, so I requested that document at the Korean Consulate from Brazil;  I got the document recently and it is in korean and right next to the korean word/sentence it is written in English. So my doubt is, do I have to get it translated even so? And do I have to get it notarized? And I heard that the documents have to be dated close to the interview date, but I thought since I;m not living there anymore I'd just get that document already. Will it be a problem? Am I freaking out over nothing?

btw I am the beneficiary.

 

Thanks in advance~

 

Sounds like its translated already.

There is no requirement to notarize these docs because a notary simply verifies signatures and has nothing to do the content of documents.

I think the police report will be ok but you need to ask the embassy directly.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresMEDICAL CHECK-UP MARIHUANA QUESTION TODAY!

I had my general check-up today. The doctor asked me from one moment to another if I smoked weed and said I had smoked 6 months ago. He asked me if I had smoked before that and I said no. Do you think if that had been an issue, he would have told me. I got my results anyways and he actually said everything was great and even wished me a great journey. Do you think he hadn't given me the results if that had been an issue?

The doc knows what you should have known which is the weed stays in your system about 30 days. If you did this only once it would not have been in your system at the medical. Of course most people tell the same story about usage. The proof is in the testing but there seems to have been no such test.

The doc also knows that the decision you face is made by the C O who reviews the case. He gives the results because that's what he is paid to do.

There have been many cases here on V J where drug use resulted in a denial with associated ban. You may get lucky if the C O buys your story. They have heard the story many times before of course. Lets hope it turns out well for you.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresGetting a tourist visa while applying for a K1 visa

Tourist visa doubtful without a steady job to guarantee your return to BG. I agree that you should start K1 process as soon as possible.

A job isn't really helpful because its thought to be easy to leave on for another so its no guarantee that a person would return. Most of us would think it mattered but not USCIS.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresGetting a tourist visa while applying for a K1 visa

Hi!

 

I'm Kari from Bulgaria. I've been dating my now fiancee (who's an American) for over 3 years now. We got engaged this winter and now that I finally graduated from college, we want to apply for a K1 visa. But we haven't seen each other since the winter holidays and by the time (hopefully) we get approved for the visa, it'd have passed over an year without meeting each other. Unfortunately, he can't get any time off work right now, so he can't come visit. We still haven't started the process with K1, and I'm wondering if it'd be a good idea to get the tourist visa first, and then send in the I129f and start the procedure? Or is it at all possible to apply for two types of visa at the same time?

 

My main concern is now that I've graduated from college (combined with the fact that I don't have a job right now), I doubt I'll get a tourist visa. So I'm not sure what I ought to do right now, so we don't have to wait forever and ever to see each other.

 

Thanks for the help in advance smile.png

Its possible to get a tourist visa after filing for a K 1 but doubtful because the K 1 shows intent to immigrate.

To be granted tourist visa you must prove beyond a doubt that you MUST return to your country. The question always is how does someone do that. Not having a job isn't a deal breaker because people leave job behind everyday anyway. Your ties to the country are what is important. Determine what those ties are and then apply for tourist visa. You will never know unless you try. Keep in mind obtaining these visas can be difficult.

I don't know if Bulgaria is a VWP country but you should find out. Try google or people here may know.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresUgh I made a typo

It wasn't the amount. It was his age!!!! I know I'm so stupid but my fingers are swollen and I'm pregnant and I typed in 28 and meant to put 29 so is that a serious problem??? Everything else on the entire petition says the right age 29 and his birthday and all that, but I'm stuck on this mistake! Is it serious.? Even if it's not I'm sending the corrected ones but say they don't get there in time by some freak twist of events; this is an explainable typo isn't it?

How many times are you going to ask the same question? What will you do if you don't simply submit a corrected 134?

Why not scan a corrected form?

The worst that can happen is they just don't issue the visa until they have the hard copy of the correction.

No. Notaries simply verify signatures. They have zero to do with content. People can have anything notarized but there is no requirement to do so.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresSponsor for I-134 form

Hi everyone, I'm a US citizen filling out the I-134 form for my fiancé in the UK. How do you know if you have enough funds to support your beneficiary/ spouse once they arrive in the US? I'm having a hard time finding actual dollar amounts I should have. I was a full time student the past few years so my bank accounts won't show much as far as incomes concerned. I' also live with my mother but plan on getting an apartment soon. I've read a lot about potential sponsors from other posts and I'm wondering if that's a good option for us. My fathers agreed to sponsor us, but I don't currently live with him. Does that matter? Please help if you can.

Google U S poverty levels. Find the amount for your future families size. Your income must meet or exceed that amount. Bank account is less important than income.

Doesn't matter where in the USA your co sponsor lives.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresRFE NEED QUICK RELIABLE HELP PLEASE!!!!!!!!!

will they give another chance on rfe if you messed up? or do you get one chance your done!

I don't know if there is only one answer to your question but I can tell you what took place in our case. We received an RFE but my husband made a mistake and sent incorrect info. USCIS responded by saying we didn't respond to the RFE therefore the case was denied.

My husband responded very quickly sending in the correct info, admitting his error while asking for " reconsideration " . USCIS allowed the submission of the info and within 60 days approved the case. They never told us what they would do until it was over.

In your case I agree that the officer may never realize one page is missing especially because you have supplied them with what they really need. In our case we had another RFE for exactly what you have at our AOS meeting. This means it was missed in the initial case but in the end was required to complete the case file.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresHow to deal with my anxiety through this whole process :|

Invest your time and energies planning for the subsequent stages of the process:  consular, adjusting to life in the U.S. and what your goals are, AOS, ROC, citizenship.  Read the Canada regional forum and the "Embassy Reviews" for the first part.  Read the Canada forum for adjusting to life here (there will be details of interest).  Focus on what's ahead and under your control.

This is by far the best advice. Saying don't worry is not much help I think because if it was that simple you nor most of us would have had any problem during the journey if we could just not worry.

We found that doing as T Bone suggests was more productive and paid dividends in the end. I learned to drive, went to college, found a job and learned about banking for example.

You have months to be at the point where you will submit either your complete tax return or simply request tax transcripts from the IRS. These are free from the IRS web site now.

The 134 is submitted as part of the packet 3 info which is required to set the actual interview date. The info doesn't really ask for the tax info but we have found its a good idea to submit.

Hi, I just wanna ask how to answer this question. My fiance (the petitioner) was born in the United States and has obtained Citizenship through birth.

 

How do we answer Question #13.d. "Have you obtained a Certificate of Naturalization or a Certificate of Citizenship in your name?" Yes or No?

 

Thanks!

The answer is no because he is a natural born U S citizen. His birth certificate is proof of that.

The question is designed to be answered by those of us that gained citizenship by other methods.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresWhat do you do after the 5 months of wait time?

Hi everyone! On June 9th, it will be 5 months since my NOA1. I was told to call USCIS after the 5 month period and put in a service request. Additionally, I was told that the 5 month span was an "estimate" between the NOA1 and NOA2 for Texas.  My question is.....how long do you get the NOA2 after the service request? Why do some cases take shorter than the 5 months? Does this mean they lost my case? What is the next step after the service request....

 

Sorry about all the questions....just find it mindboggling that it has taken so long and hasn't been touched since January.....

 

 

 

You should be getting the NOA 2 from USCIS soon. The NOA 2 does not come from NVC. Once they assign NOA 2 to your case the case will forward to NVC.

At the 5 month point you can request a service request. The time required isn't known but you can expect at least 30 days.

Some cases take less time but the reasons for this are difficult to define.

Your case isn't lost. The last step at USCIS is to assign a bar code to the case. This code is then scanned into the NVC system when the accept the case. This procedure takes longer than we think so during that time the case may appear to be lost because neither USCIS nor NVC can " find " the case. USCIS will tell you they don't have it and NVC will say the same because it wont show up in the computer at either agency. These facts were related to my husband by USCIS officers in two locations.

You can ask a U S politician to help you by finding yours on the web. They all have staff trained to placate the public so just send in the form they require and wait for them to contact you. They will contact USCIS and get back to you telling you what you already know. This will also take about 30 days.

Unboggle your mind and try to accept that they are always way behind with respect to these touches for example. My case never showed a single one during the 408 days. I have seen may cases here on V J where the same thing happened.

My own case took 408 days. These things I have told you come from that experience.

Me and my fiancee got i29f approved on April 23rd, yesterday I got a email saying that our case had been reopened, and today I got an RFE.  I don't know what else to send them, I sent them pictures of us together with dates, pictures with us and her parents, copies of my boarding passes, itineraries, and copied pages of my passport stamps as well as the required full copy of my passport.  Anyone else run into this?

 

Thanks in advance,

You didn't really get the RFE. You got a notice that you will get one. The RFE will tell you exactly what they need as well as telling you to send that evidence along with the hard copy RFE back to them. Once that is done the case will continue.

There is nothing more you can do until you have the RFE.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Proceduresits been 2 months and the petition isnt at NVC yet

dang...so what you are saying is that i should just keep on waiting? and keep on calling the nvc asking them if they got it yet?

There doesn't seem to be an absolute answer to these events but what I said is what we learned while struggling to get thru the maze. Its very hard to deal with. V J creates a place where we can attempt to provide info based on experience in hope we can help.

Its just too hard to sit and wait so I suggest you try everything reasonable keeping in mind what I related here. It may help keep you sane enough to get thru this. I just don't want you or others to think their case is lost. Its incredible that some cases seem to move along at high speed while others like you see here seem totally lost and the people can get no useable info.

Call as you wish. Contact politicians ect. All of that will at least serve to allow you to feel you have done all you could. If you uncover some aspect we don't know please post it.


NingFemaleThailand2014-06-14 21:23:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Proceduresits been 2 months and the petition isnt at NVC yet

Yes, some people did not get an update regularly. When I got approved for my I-129F, I did not get any update via text or email. I found out the approval via USCIS website. This is really weird situation for the OP though I knew some member got her case number almost 2 months after approval. For me, I got my case number 2 weeks from approval date shown on USCIS website. I hope the OP can figure out how to solve her problem.

My friend G from C please read and learn as I did. You will be able to help others rather than cause more concern. My case went thru all of this which is how my husband obtained the following info directly from officers at USCIS in person.

The O Ps case is not lost. Her problem is not what she or you think. The real problem is lack of info. That is caused by the system which is dysfunctional in this important area. This causes people a lot of anxiety and pain.

When a case is approved by USCIS the last step is a bar code that is placed on the case file. That code is for use at NVC. USCIS then bundled with others and finally shipped to NVC. That bar code placement means to USCIS that they no longer have the case so checking with them may produce the wrong answer and cause the appearance that they have lost the case.

Once a case is sent NVC it arrives at the mail center. Cases may simply sit there for a time. During that time the case may seem lost at NVC as well. Until the case is scanned into the NVC system they do not recognize that the case is there. It isn't lost; its in limbo.

If an inquiry is made during these times it may reveal a false sense that no one can find that case. This creates a situation where we see people trying desperately contact these politicians ect. Their efforts are so far behind by the time they actually do anything that what they say may be old news. I have no faith in these politicians at all when it comes to immigration matters. They are in fact the same people that haven't done anything about reform for the entire time they have been in office.

In my own case we never got any info from USCIS, NVC nor a U S Senators office even though my husband sent the 9 letters they asked for. They never responded to one. He had to return to the USA twice to sit down with USCIS in two different offices in two States to obtain the info I have given here. In the end my case took a long 408 days.


NingFemaleThailand2014-06-14 19:09:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresK1 Visa Application Returned from NVC to USCIS??

Update...

 

In Feb, NVC said that they returned the packet to USCIS for further review (No interview date was ever set) and would not provide any information about why it was returned.

 

USCIS said they never received the packet back from NVC. I contacted USCIS in Feb, March, April, and May about every 2 weeks and they claimed that they never received the packet back from NVC. They opened up an investigation but said they were not able to find anything and promptly closed it again saying that I needed to contact NVC. So essentially USCIS and NVC pointed fingers at each other for the past 4 months while our packet said somewhere outside of both systems.

 

I wound up contacting Texas Sen. Cruz's office to see if there was anything they could do to at least provide us some information on why it was returned in the first place. I'm not sure if this prompted anything or not, but yesterday we received a letter saying that the package was re-approved and forwarded to NVC for processing.

 

What a waste of time... 

I doubt what you have been told is correct. My case went thru this exact same thing ending at 408 days.

If your Senator did anything to affect the situation they could tell you what that was. Again I doubt anything was really done by that office.

USCIS places a bar code on the case in the final step. That action finalizes the case. The case is then bundled with others and forwarded to NVC. In time NVC scans that code into its system which means they recognize the case. 

I dont know why NVC would send it back to have it reapproved. If they did it seems USCIS would have sent an RFE to you. These things are hard to understand and very frustrating. The good thing is that you now know where the case is & that it wont be long until it is sent to BKK. NVC doesnt need much time on a K 1.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresK1 Visa Application Returned from NVC to USCIS??

Thanks. I should have done a search first but didn't think of it. 

 

We double/triple checked the packet of paperwork, so I'm pretty certain it was all in there. 

 

I lived in Thailand with my fiance for 3 years while I was there for work. Neither of us have ever been married, nor have kids, or anything extraordinary about our personal lives. She says that she's never filed for any other visa, which i believe. 

 

In addition, she already has a 10-yr US tourist visa (visited 3 times) and was just issued a UK tourist Visa, so I don't think its any kind criminal issues as they would have likely been picked up previously. 

 

I'll stay on it...

There are things you can do. The timing of what you need to do is fairly important.

The case will be scanned back into the USCIS system soon. I suggest you make an Info Pass appointment to coincide with that event. Find out first hand what has happened and what will be done.

Hello everyone!

 

If we are over the time frame and contact our congressman to help expedite for NOA2 will that interfere on the next step as getting the interview scheduled for instance? Would we have any kind of problems for asking the congressman's help for NOA2? 

 

I appreciate all responses and help!

Your politicians can not affect the timing of your case unless you can prove you have a serious problem that fits the criteria for expediting a case.

The USC in the case can contact these politicians by finding their web site where a form is downloaded & sent in requesting help. They all have staff members trained to placate people. They will make a call & inform you that USCIS is working on your case. Doing that will have no affect on the future of the case. USCIS is used to people not understanding these politicians are the same ones that haven't done anything to reform immigration law in over 60 years.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresDumb question

Thanks...guess the confusion comes from everyones timelines. When ppl put their filing location, and than it says transferred and most say no. Just didn't get that, because it was transferred. Is there a timeframe on average for them switching you to another location or does that happen with the first NOA. Also if your going to get a RFE, does that happen within a certain time usually, or can it be 4/5 months after your NOA.

These cases are sent to Texas where they are then assigned to a service center in an attempt to balance the work load. When the case is assigned an adjudicator or case officer it will be reviewed. During that review if it become apparent there is additional info required the officer will send an RFE. This can happen at any point in the review process.


NingFemaleThailand2014-07-15 10:50:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresHow do they decide what location will process your K1Visa?

It is typically based on location, not workload. If they balanced the workload, then you would not have one approving quickly while the other takes months and months. Sometimes when there is a huge backlog, they will try and ease the workload on a service center, which is what happened when they switched the I-129F processing from Vermont to Texas. However, now Texas is stuck in backlog too.

 

For the CSC :

 

If you live in Alaska, American Samoa, Arizona, California, Colorado, Guam, Hawaii, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, North Dakota, Ohio, Oregon, South Dakota, Utah, Washington, Wisconsin, and Wyoming.

 

For the TSC:

 

If you live in Alabama, Arkansas, Connecticut, Delaware, Washington, D.C., Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Mississippi, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Puerto Rico, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Vermont, Virginia, U.S. Virgin Islands, and West Virginia

I related what we were told by an officer at a USCIS Info Pass meeting . I am nor sure there is a big difference in easing a workload and balancing one but it could be my English.

Hello,

 

My fiancé had his interview on Sept 30, 2013. When he finally got to the interview window he was asked a few questions:

 

What is your fiancé name? Ans. My Name

When did you meet? Ans. 2009

When did you start your romantic relationship? Ans. 2010

When was your fiancee divorce? Ans. 2012, however they have been separated for over 10 years.

What is your fiancée religion? Ans. Christian

What is your religion? Ans. Hindi

 

The interview walked away briefly, came back, and gave him a piece of paper that basically said our petition was being returned to the USCIS office for review and possible revocation. He did not say why the petition was being returned, however, I guess it has something to do with my divorce becoming final in April 2012 and immediately getting engaged, June 2012. USCIS approved our petition and enclosed in our I-29F application were a copy of my divorce papers.

 

All of the answers my fiancé gave to the interviewer were true. My now ex-husband and I have been separated for well over 10 years and in fact we have not even lived in the same state for 8+ years. He didn't bother to look at our proof of relationship, he asked no further questions. 

 

I am real upset over this and I just don't know what we need to do next. 

 

Any assistance or advice you could offer would be greatly appreciated. crying.gif

An address in the capital is definitely preferable. I can't imagine anything would make its way to the  Amazon without ridiculous delay so her parent's address is not an option. She can get a PO box for mailing address and write down her actual physical address. All USCIS paperwork would make it to the PO box (Apartado Postal). She can get it at the larger Serpost offices. Depending on where she lives. I used to like the large branch in Jesus Maria.

 

Here is some info on getting a PO box: http://www.serpost.c...al_APostal.html

 

Not sure about the passport info but hey if they are not asking, then I wouldn't think they expect you to provide unrequested info.

 

Her two last names are like one last name for all intents and purposes. Think of it as a hyphenated last name with a space in place of the hyphen.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedureshow many pages of chat log?

We got NOA2 even without emails or chatlogs provided. It is okay if you will just bring it to interview. You can get just some samples of your chats on certain months with dates and time and so with emails.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresG-325A Residences

Your residence is where you live. If you took many long vacations with intent to return home then there is no change in residence. 

 

If you worked abroad and reported foreign earnings to the IRS, then yes I would include those places on the G-325A.

Notarization is typically required in cases where the maker of a document might otherwise try to disavow his or her signature. Notarization does not make a document any "more" legal. I do not think that disavowal of signature would be an issue in the withdrawal of a visa case by a petitioner.

I concur--notarization is not needed in the cases mentioned above.

Nope. Why? Because it is signed under penalty of perjury. Thanks for playing. Cheers.

Sorry to hear about your situation. I think you need to notarized your letter. Be strong!


You are wrong. Notarized letter is NOT necessary.


Please cite your source(s). Common sense would suggest that, if it is even allowed, revoking an affidavit of support would require a notarized letter.



Common sense is not that common. YOu simply write a brief letter of explanation and report the petition as abandoned and statement declaring that you hereby withdraw your application of support. Make 3 copies of the letter, and send to USCIS, NVC and the Consulate Embassy. You can even make a statement as construing this letter of explanation as an IMBRA Waiver if such a Waiver is required for the next petition/marriage to foreign bride. Easy. In about 6 months, this petition case review will be complete and closed. Good news is that the petitioner can file another petition at any time and need not wait for the previous case to be officially closed. Cheers and good luck! People go notary crazy, and the extra expense and effort is quite often not necessary. If ya get a thril by notarizing, have at it! Not needed in this case. Peace.

There really isn't anything that you need to do. The visa has already been issued. Should you he decide to come to America on his own, he will not be able to get a green card without marrying you. He could come, stay pass the 90 days granted by his K1, or marry someone else for that matter, but he will not be able to get a green card and he would not be your problem or responsibility.

I do understand your desire to document it for the record. Write a brief to the point letter and get it notarized- include both your legal names, your case numbers (both at USCIS and your case number for the Consulate), and your fianee's passport number if you have it. State that after his visa was granted on (xx-xx-2009) you decided not to marry him. You advised him on xx-xx-2009 not to come to the US since you had no longer have any intentions to marry him. You should keep a copy and send copies to USCIS (I'm not sure how to do this, perhaps you could call the 1-800 number or submit it at an InfoPass appointment) and maybe the Consulate. You should mail these letters with delivery confirmation and return receipt (for anything outside the US you could send it FedEx to generate a delivery record).



Again, no notarization necessary. See above. star_smile.gif

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresK2 & I134 questions

Hi,

 

Thanks for answering.

 

I filed for my fiance and his daughter all together, back then we were going to get the approval from the mother, but now, it doesn't seem like that anymore. Also, when i filed 7 months ago i had a full time job that would allowed me to maintain both of them, but things changed for me and now the situation that i have is the one i presented above.

Can i call USCIS and notify them the withdraw of my step daughter or should i just change it to join to follow? I mean, I already received my NOA2 and i dont know if its too late now, we still don't know if the mom would change her mind and would allow her to come and we just want to buy time to work it out but we don't know if would be a problem when the interview comes and we didn't wothdraw her from the petition.

 

The main problem here is that i dont know if by leaving her as join to follow i have to still prove that i can support her, by the time she gets here my husband to be would prob be working already and both of us together can easily support her needs. I hope i'm making sense, if you need more info to provide me with a suggestion or answer feel free to ask.

 

PS: Venezuela's embassy allows co-sponsors.

 

Thanks in advance!

The concept of support is about providing support for people that are in the USA so they don't become a problem for the tax paying citizens of the USA.

If you petitioned for two you have to provide support for those people. If they don't come you wont be supporting them. If they join to follow you would have to submit a 134 at the time of the interview for that person.

Since you paid the fee already I would attempt to change it to, join to follow. You can always cancel it later in the process.

Yeah we knew it, It was supposed to happen but it hasnt been done yet and i have the feeling it just wont happen any time soon. sad.png

If I withdraw hers would that hinder his K1 as well? Should i start doing that now or at the time of the interview? or should i leave it as "Join to Follow" to buy more time for the permission? if we do that and she would come later, do i have to still prove that i am going to support her even if that petition is ok for a whole year? i mean, by then my fiance would probably be working and we would be more than able to support her with both incomes.

 

Thanks for the answers and sorry there are so many questions.

I don't know by reading your post if you filed for the child or not. If you did and now don't want to try to bring the child, notify USCIS. If you aren't sure and have filed just wait until you are sure.

You need to check with the embassy to make sure they allow a co sponsor if your income isn't high enough to support your fiancé. You have to prove you can support the amount of people you are bringing to the USA.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresK2 & I134 questions

Hello guys!!

 

My fiance's daughter is 5 years old, i added her on the application because ideally we would love her to live with us, but since she lives in another state with her mom and her new family we believe she wont be coming along with him. The question here is: Do i need to show proof that i will be able to support her as well even if she doesnt come along with my fiance? and, If I do and she comes...does she need to stay and get an status adjustment too? or can she just come to visit and go back to her mom after an undetermined stay with us? and, in the event that her mom doesn't allow her to travel yet would we have to withdraw her petition or would it get automatically cancel? I am trying to stay positive here, but i don't see she would be coming to the US yet.

 

 Also, I am currently working only part time, therefore my income is not enough to be a sole sponsor. My boss told me he is going to switch me to q full time position but due to other reasons that won't be happening just yet, maybe mid june. I already received my NOA2 and i was trying to get a co-sponsor but all the people who i had in mind are currently claiming someone else sad.png ...mind you, i came back from a 3 month stay with my sweetheart on May and didn't work all those months before so i had no proof of income since the beggining of the year but starting in May.....Would this job (10$ x hour full time) plus the Child Support i get (500$ monthly) be enough to cover the affidavit of financial support of a household of 3 if i don't get an sponsor??

 

I am worried i would get denied after all this effort. (When i started this journey i was employed full time at an attorneys office getting pay good but i was laid off, so it wasnt really poor planning)

Thanks for all the answers in advance yes.gif

 

This needs to begin with the understanding that the mother will have to agree to sign a statement indicating her permission to allow the child to emigrate. If that cant be done there rest isn't relevant.

If the mother allows her to move to the USA the process to get her a visa is the same as the fathers. You then become responsible for her support as well.

If you file the petition for her and don't go thru the procedure you will simply lose the fee and can notify USCIS you want to withdraw the petition.
