Indonesian passport is not supposed to have address too, but the damn immigration office stamped "Address" section on the backpage of the passport. I guess we have to ask if this is going to be an issue with the Embassy

[alex and astrid 38]

I would say that it would not be....after all, it's not going to be her address for much longer!

Astrid,

That's neat, we found out that our interview is scheduled on January 7th, 2010 so we won't be together for Christmas. When are you planning to come to L.A.? Where is Alex in L.A.? I'm in Pasadena and that really is part of L.A. but Pasadenaeans don't want to be considered part of the L.A. scene or culture. I'm hoping that whatever documents for my affadivid of support is good enough. I make more than above the poverty level but there have been postings that indcate requiring a lot more documentation than I am sending. I am sending I-134, recent pay checks, a copy of the latest income taxes, letter from my employer documenting, salary, job title, leght of employment and permanent status. I've checked with the embassy website and it only indicates petitioners must provide proof of adequate financial support once in the United States to ensure the applicant will not become public charges. Documentation regarding financial support can be in any form so long as it contains enough detail and information for the consular officer to conclude that the beneficiary will not become a public charge. So I'm hoping that I a sendin enough information to the embassy. What do you think?

Hey, Capuccino boy.

That's about the same thing that I sent to my fiancee.

Even though the embassy requests also for bank statement, I guess every country is different.

I did not send pay check stubs. But I did send (as is requested on the I-134 Instructions) a letter from my bank stating deposit amounts for the past year, length of account, and balances. I hope you don't get beat up on not submitting the bank letter....good luck!

Jan. 7? Thats my birthday

If all goes well on Tuesday, I will be flying back to LA January 27th. Alex lives in the south east San Fernando Valley, we have an apartment together so it's really home for the both of us.

As for the Affidavit, alex gave me his last state and federal tax returns, a letter from his employer, a letter from his bank, three recent paystubs, copies of his last few bank statements, proof of his stock ownership and car ownership. You should be fine with what you have. Alex had a lot of trouble getting the letter from Chase, it took them nearly three weeks to do a letter that only said he was their customer and how much he currently had deposited.

Astrid,

Thanks for the info, I think I will try and get a bank letter at this point if it takes 3 weeks I won't be able to get it in time so I hope that it isn't a issue.

I will you the best in Los Angeles. You sound like you know the Valley really good. If you guys live in the East you must be fairly close to Pasadena.

Well Happy Birthday.

Bernie

Yeah, I lived in the valley for two and a half years so I do know it fairly well. I live about 20 minutes from Pasadena, though I usually go to Burbank to do stuff.

It may not take your bank that long to do the letter, it may have just been the branch alex went to. I think you have enough time to get one though.

Hi, Astrid.

It seems we both would live in the same area

To Capuccino Boy:

For Chase, it does take three weeks to get a "signed" letter from them. However, if you want it fast, you can just go to the local branch and ask the personal banker for account verification. It contains the same information. I did both of them .

Planning to email the embassy today to get the interview date. Hoping for mid of January.

Yes, going straight to my credit union local branch it took them one week to author the letter. And $25 (for research! Ha!). Oh well, at least it's done.

BTW: Interview 7Jan2010! US embassy in Singapore is running in slow motion during the Xmas season I guess...

[alex and astrid 38]

My visa was APPROVED!!!!! Yaaaaaaay!
