Visa Process STUCK

[Boiler 45,402]

Why does that matter?

[Mike B. 231]

If your father, for example, is currently out of work and has zero assets, the fact that he made $29,000 a few years ago is not going to save your skin.

what matters is how much he makes now, not two years ago.

UPDATE FATHER IS BACK ON BOARD!!

His only thing was that last year his Adgusted Gross was negative but in 10 and 09 was in the 29 thou so lets see what happens

But what does he make now is the key. remember its who he supports plus 1. You aren't out the woods yet dear. Present income is all that matters.

That and assets, right?

Yes assets will help I believe what 3 to 1 is the ration figure thing. Look over the link for that. But if you can get the second job that would be grand. I feel your pain I am almost to the NVC stage and I am still looking for work. I didn't even work in 2011 because like you I also was living with husband in his country. So I understand truely.

That's great everything worked out, I should be sending mine out tonight.

Quick question has your IV bill been invoiced yet?

[BIT 3]

NOPE Still waiting for it... you?

NOPE Still waiting for it... you?

Not yet still waiting! I called NVC today and they said they barely recieved my DS-261 yesterday and that it will be reviewed and can take from 5 to 10 days for the IV bill to be invoiced. Will see how long.

[BIT 3]

I called and they said they got my 261 on the 5th and today (13th) I was invoiced my IV Bill

OK, when it comes to the Affidavit of Support, CDJ/MEXICO (and I emphasize that because sometimes the NVC is more lenient) really is looking for two things from whoever is the financial sponsor:

• The current ability to meet the income guidelines
• long-term stability at this income level, usually demonstrated over a period of 3 years.

Occasionally they make an exception, especially in the long-term part, mainly for recent college grads who are now making a "satisfactory" salary. However, you need to be prepared that even if the NVC passes your case on to CDJ, the consulate can and often does apply its own standard, since they have total discretion to do so. And this is what causes tons of applicants at CDJ every day to go scrambling to line up new financial sponsors or more evidence. I saw it when we were there and I still see it happen now. Or it may not even get that far, you may get an RFE at the NVC stage. Or both the NVC and CDJ will say it's fine and no problem.

No matter what, it's best to have a plan, because CDJ will not approve the visa until they're convinced that someone is capable of preventing your wife from becoming a public charge if it came to that. Yes, it's really hard to get some people on board. I'm glad your father has stepped up again. Hopefully if need be, someone else in your family will be equally gracious.
