Police Clearance Certificate Question

QUOTE (ELW @ Aug 26 2007, 05:58 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Does she have any proof that she resided in Bangalore, like lease agreement, voter card, bank account in Bangalore, etc.? If not, then she probably doesn't need to get a PCC from Bangalore.

My husband was living in Hyderabad for 2 years but they said they could not give him a PCC because he had no proof or residency. He just got a PCC from the passport office in Visakhapatnam (where he was issued his passport) and from his village local office near there, and no one asked for any other PCC.

Well if you husband was in Vishakpatanam, did you write that down in the G-325A? They are going to want to know all the places he resided in the last 5 years.

In the case of my wife, she did not officially own any property or anything like that. she lived in a college campus along with other students. the building she lived was part of the college buildings so there is no offical lease agreement. During Summer Vacation she would go back to Kerala. So she did not continously live in Bangalore throught the entire year as well. thank you eileen, i appreciate the input.

I guess the only proof would be her college diploma. I did mention that she was in bangalore for college in the I-130 application.

Police Clearance Certificate Question

Hello all,

Just a quick question regarding PCCs.

My wife's official home is in Kerala but she studied (college) in Bangalore from 2002 - 2006.

The passport is registered in Trivandrum (Kerala) and here offical address (I-130 address) is in Kerala as well.

So which PCCs are required? just the Kerala only (Trivandrum and her official address)?

I mean she didn't live in Bangalore consistently for 12 months (she came to Kerala during the summer break). So does she need a bangalore PCC as well?

US Embassy and Consulate Discussion

Financial Affidavit: Difference between Asset and Income

Hello everyone,

First off, I am John

I just joined the forum. Very happy to be here. I have been visiting this site ever since I first filed for my wife. Now the I-130 is approved NVC has taken over the case.

After reading several threads on financial affidavit, I am very confused.

Is there a difference between "Income" (Question 24 on Form I-864) and "Asset"(Question 26 on Form I-864)? In otherwords, say if i do not have a savings (Asset) of over $16500*, can I use my income as a backup to qualify?

Ok, may be I should give an example; say I have an income of $70,000 and a savings of just $5,000, can I still qualify? Or should I have an "Asset" (Savings) of over $16500* (House hold size = 2), as per the 125% rule, to qualify?

Several threads implied that I should have an "Asset" (Not income) of over $16500 (House hold size = 2) to qualify. Other threads are giving me the impression that my salary (Income) should be above $16500 (Holly and Brett thread for example).

Thank you in advance for your help regarding this topic.

John

About Form DS3032 and the Case Number

Hi guys thanks for the advises on to what to do..

Hello Ness,

Just wondering if you already send your email to NVC with your choice of agent. If so did they reply yet? The reason why I am asking is because i send my email on Jul 27th and still haven't received a reply from them.

In 2004 year, I was in college and not working. What happens in this scenario? Is the tax return of 2005 and 2006 be sufficient?

2005 and 2004 are optional from what it is written from the I-864. As long as you are currently making above 125% of the poverty line, and you have all your IRS transcripts/ Federal Tax returns, W2s, Paystubs and Employment Letter, you should be ok.

Hello RandyandRina

In that case what would i put down for Question 19 on I-864EZ (3rd most recent year)? Just "N/A" that?

Hello there,

-I am the petitioner
-My wife is the only person immigrating
-I am only using my income (No assets, co-sponsors)

Currently, I am in the process of filing I-864 EZ for my wife. In Line 18, it says "My Individual Annual Income is currently:" Now, during 2006 tax season, I was employed by a different company making around 50K.
I have changed my job since then and moved onto a better paying job in April of 2007. Which salary do I use for the purpose of this form I-864EZ? Do i use the old salary (shown on my tax return) or my new salary (possibly a letter from the new employer)?

Anybody here with a similar situation?

Thanks again

John

Maybe different embassys do things different but I've never heard of an embassy calling anyone for the interview appointments.

hello there,

Is there any way to track or find out the possible interview dates for a certain "MDR" number?

Is it possible to join my spouse to USA after marriage

QUOTE (vikasintl @ Nov 13 2007, 12:58 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>

My fiancee is US citizen and plans to come to USA for 2 weeks ..during which we can get married if I can join her to USA on visitors or other temporary visa??

We heard that both in K1 and I-130 based visa it takes long time (at least 6 months) thats why we are thinking if I can get visa to join her?

For sure they will give visa to travel with her when she returns? or it depends on immigration officer in India ?can they deny my application?

Please give your opinion on what we should do ? do you think we should rather not get married in India and after our meeting we should file for fiancee visa?

hello there,

if you are ALREADY married, you can try the I-130. Now i know of people who are already married and claim they are still "fiances" and obtain K1.
Then they come to USA and get married in municipal court (keep in mind they are ALREADY married in their country of origin). Now I strongly advise against this because if the US embassy finds out this info, you could end up in a lot of trouble.

If ALREADY married, use I-130
If STILL finance, use the fiance visa (K-1 i think)

I-864EZ, vs. I-864-A

Hello everyone

I have a question regarding the I-864EZ vs. I-864-A. I am only bringing my wife to US, I have a stable income so I am using my income to qualify, and I am the petitioner.

My income is also higher than the minimum US Poverty Guideline requirements. I used I-864 EZ in our case and it was approved and send to the embassy. However, a friend of ours also claims that the embassy may require the I-864-A as well? Is this true? I thought I-864-A is used if the sponsor doesn't have the financial income or asset to qualify and requires a sponsor. Is this information correct?

Thank you for your help regarding this matter.

Hi

Should the pay stubs be the bottom portion of original checks? Would photocopies of those stubs be okay ?

Thanks
Shamim

The paystubs show your hours worked, how much you made Year To Date, The company name and address, your name and address....etc.

Yes Photocopies are fine as far as I know. You will need the past 6months paystub with I-864

I864

What are the different types of "I-864" Forms available?
I-864, I-864W, I-864EZ and I-864A

Basically, when applying for Financial Affidavit, you can use ONE of the following forms below IF you meet the form requirements:

I-864 is needed if you are proving your eligibility to support your wife using your asset (Land value, Bank balance, stock value, etc)

I-864-A: Form I-864A may only be used when a sponsor's income AND assets do not meet the income requirements of Form I-864 and the qualifying household member chooses to combine his or her resources with the income and/or assets of a sponsor to meet the requirements. The obligations of the household member under this contract terminate when the obligations of the sponsor under the Affidavit of Support terminate.

I-864 EZ is needed if you are proving your eligibility to support your wife using ONLY your income (salary, bonus salary, etc).

I-864 W is needed if you are EXEMPT from using I-864 IF you worked in United States for 40 business quarters (10 years) and has met the minimum income Required by Social Security Administration.
