I need prayers. I have finally got brave enough to ask my son in law to cosponsor keith. He is reading the paperwork now. I dont feel good about it but I am praying that he will say yes. I have explained that this is just for the K1 process so please say a little prayer for me. He makes well over the amount needed so if he would do this it would fly through with no problems at all. I was shaking when I spoke to him. but I had to do it. I have to try anything in order to get Keith here

Chelle

CROSSES FINGERS!!

Let him come here to this site and let him know THIS IS NOT A BINDING CONTRACT it is just a support statement saying he is willing to help you get him over here and THAT IS IT..once you both are married it is null and void as you have to do a different support paper AFTER you are married.

I do not think the co-sponsors realize that at all and assume they will be stuck for a lifetime...not true at all

Things I found on here......

The I-134 is used to show that the Non-Immigrant K-1, or K-3 visa holder wont become a charge of the state, between the time they enter the country and adjust status and become a legal permanent resident.

So if one person cannot show sufficient resources to meet the Charge of state reg. Then an additional person can show willingness to make up the difference using an additional I-134 and financial evidence. REMEMBER THOUGH: the cosponsor for the 1-134 for the K1 visa is NOT held liable and it is only to show that they are in support of getting them here ONLY. It is not a binding contract.

here is another

At any rate, your future inlaws should be informed that signing the I134 for your sponsorship is completely 'non-binding' in any legal sense. There is no part of the INA (Immigration and Nationality Act) wherein there is any code which gives the I134 any legal teeth.

there are more so I hope these statements will help you. I was also told the same thing when i had to explain to my son who backed out because he feared he would be held liable for him. When in fact he would not be. BUT son could not as his job is still considered temp...SO mine all worked out and so will yours sweetie!!! Got my toes fingers and anythign else i can crossed..CROSSED! BIG HUGS!!!!!!!

Thankyou, I have copied your quotes and sent it to his email. I still havent heard anything so hoping no news is good news. Dear God in Heaven please let this happen. Thankyou also for the hugss.

Chelle

You are SO welcome and if you need more I can get them..show him this place as well and have him read what we said.

It will happen hunny....Like I said turn that stumbling stone into a stepping stone..hold that pretty head High and know YOUR man is COMING HOME!!!

hugs hugs hugs

As far as we know, the NVC still hasn't received our case. Sebastian has filled out the packet 3 forms, just for practice really, but we may take a hint for Shannon and Nick and send them anyways if they take too long! We're still looking at another two weeks or so, but still!

Also, do we have to mail in packet 3 when the time comes? Or could Sebastian just drop it off at the Embassy? He lives in London so I think it would be fairly convenient. I don't want to have to deal with the UK postal service (so many mishaps!).

Good luck to everyone who is still waiting! Not long, guys!

And Chelle, be sure to let us know what your son says. I'm wishing you all the best!

I have no words... I can't imagine how you feel. I am really so sorry Chelle. As someone has said, maybe he just needed to blow off some steam and his words aren't his true feelings. Either way, I'm sure I speak for all of us, when I say we're here for you and will support you any way we can.

Good luck to everyone who is still waiting! Not long, guys!

And Chelle, be sure to let us know what your son says. I'm wishing you all the best!

No, he can't go to the embassy. It's for US citizens (it's like you're entering the united states when you go there), and he needs special permission to enter (like his interview letter). You'll have to mail it, and you can't do that until they have your case for sure.

The long-distance thing is very difficult, and I do hope that somehow you two can work through this. Best wishes to you.

thankyou everyone. I have just found out that the NOA2 is good for 4 months. I have emailed him at his work email and told him this. I have also told him to take the time he needs but to not leave me hanging here. I have asked him to meet me in Second Life where we met tomorrow night and that we wouldnt discuss anything right now. Just be together. I am praying he will consider this. If not then I will wait the 4 months and if he doesnt come around by then I will set him free :(

Wahoooo!!!! NVC has our case number! The lady on the phone was really sweet and said they'd probably be sending it out tomorrow but that it may be sometime next week! Yaaaaaay!

Now that I have a case number, should we call and try to schedule a medical even though we haven't received packet 3 (and just say we did)? Or should we wait until it's at least left the NVC so we're sure we don't get stuck in AP? Or am I getting way ahead of myself? I'm leaving for London in just over a week and we're really hoping I can at least go with him to the medical since I'll be there through mid January.

Do you guys contact the embassy to double check they've got the case already? or wait for them to send the letter?

Our case has been received this afternoon at the USEM here in Bermuda (I know this via dhl tracking). I guess I should wait for them, eh? or should I let my SO (US Citizen) to check with them?
