Thank you for your inquiry.

If there are only 2 members for your household size and if you are not residing in Hawaii or Alaska, the poverty guidelines for 2 persons is US$17,500 in annual salary.

Your income is US$16,292 plus SSI is US$6,912. Therefore, your total income per year is US$23,204. This meets the 125% poverty guidelines which means you don’t need a second job or a joint sponsor to meet the poverty guidelines.

If my calculations are incorrect, please advise, however, you may include your SSI income to your annual salary of US$16,2 92.

Thank you.

Meri that's great news, one less thing for you to stress over.

Fingers crossed for your NOA2 this week. x

Hey my VJs friends...

This morning I had to let my love take his flight back to LA. We didn't get our NOA2 while he was here as we hoped

I don't know when I will see him again, I'm so sad. Even if I'm trying to think "it was the last seperation" this process is killing me.

I saw that lots of you guys on this thread got their approvals last week. It is awesome ! I'm very happy for you.

I will continue to wait and see if I will get mine soon.

Love

Ju

[Shannon ♥ Nick 0]

Well done Cham thats great news!!! Fingers crossed for ya NOA2 this week!!

Shan has spoken to NVC this morning, they received our file on the 3rd Dec and it was shipped to London on the 5th Dec

[Aubrey 10]

Happy for you, Cham. I do think your approval will come very soon, and we'll all keep hoping for you.

Hey everyone! Congrats to all the new approvals it is awesome!!!

I have a question...We got our approval on November 5th and Johny still has not recieved his packet 3 yet....anyone have any idea of how long it takes...I think i am going to call the NVC this coming week, I just have not had time to even think let alone make phone calls between work and school and trying to get immigration things finished up....

This is too long...You should definitely call NVC and see where your file is and whether they sent it out or not.

Might be they sent it and your consulate is not the fastest...

Or might also be that they are doing additional background checks. Ask them in particular about this as they won't tell you if you don't ask!!

Good luck!

Oh someone here mentioned 4 months is a reasonable time to wait for the best thing in life.

Sure I agree. But what about 6 months and longer? I don't think this is reasonable anymore especially if people have a past that is as clean as it could possibly be...It screws over our plans and, honestly, we are already considering moving to Germany together. Who on earth today can afford living in limbo like that forever? If I would have known it would take us so long, I could have taken a much better job. Instead I am doing ####### work while waiting for this fu*** approval which lowers my motivation for life in general. I am ready for this to be over.

What a bulls***. Here we would just get married, register him as my husband and that would be it! Weird, hm?

I don't even wanna think about how escadia here thinks. She is stuck at USCIS for over a year without any news.

Congrats to everyone who got approved! Please have sympathy for the ones venting here (like me)!

Hi, I just called the washington Dc line and they said that our case is at the embassy and that the packet 3 was sent out to keith. She couldnt give me a exact date but I am waiting for him to come on line now and hoping he has it with him, if not it should be within a few days

Cham I am so happy for you with the sponsorship , you must be so relieved and i am praying that you hear about your NOA2 this week along with everyone else waiting.

Shannon Nick, how did you get your medical so quick? Did you call to set it up? is this possible? ohh sorry just getting so excited

Oh yes... My friend is going to cosponsor Keith, I am concerned about my part though as I only worked a little in 07 and this year I took 6 months off to be with keith in England.. I am back to work now but its not alot as it is winter time. Will this all be ok ???
