preparing for the k3 interview

[daisychain 0]

Hi VJ members! I'm preparing for my k3 interview and I'm really nervous that I might've missed out on something. please provide your two cents worth on the complete list of documents that i'll be bringing to my interview. Btw, the reason why I'm adding proof of identity is because according to SLEC, lack of proof of identity for both petitioner and beneficiary is the number one reason for visa denial (aside from lack of proof of relationship of course). Also, what do u guys think of my hubby just starting on his new job 3 weeks ago? His salary is above the poverty guideline but I'm just wondering if the fact that he just started on his new job would serve as a deterrent to visa issuance (he has a certificate of no file for 2007 from the IRS).

beneficiary's proof of identity:

school IDs

yearbook (HS)

college transcript

petitioner's proof of identity:

expired california driver's license

photocopy of biographic page of passport

photocopy of proof of naturalization

birth certificate

affidavit of support:

IRS transcripts from 2004-2006

w-2 from 2004-2006

bank statements

COE for when he worked here in the philippines

income tax return for the year he worked here in the philippines

co-sponsor's affidavit of support:

letters of employment (2 jobs)

most recent paystubs

IRS transcripts and w-2 from 2004-2006

bank statement

Packet 4:

birth certificate

marriage certificate

NBI clearance

DS-156 and DS-157 (two copies) including proof of payment

delbros receipt

passport and medical (SLEC will deliver it directly to the US embassy)

appointment letter in email and letter from the US embassy

proof of relationship:

remittance from petitioner

affidavits from co-workers from the company we worked for together and family members attesting to the authenticity of the relationship

hand-written love letter from petitioner

phone bills

PLDT budget cards (used to call the petitioner when he returned back to the US last march)

my COE and income tax return (proving that we worked in the same company for a year)

copy of magazine where i interview my husband for an article (how we first met). it's under my pen name but i will also provide a copy of the book i wrote under pen name. the copyright is under my full name, just in case she questions my pen name.

what do u guys think? did i miss out on anything?

Your list looks great. Question: Why didn't your husband file a tax return in 2007? It is my understanding that the petitioner should have proof of filing for the past three years (2005, 2006 & 2007).

Hi Mrs. Scott

My husband resigned from his job because he was preparing to go to the Philippines, that's why he didn't file his taxes for 2007. do you think that would be a problem? what do u think of my husband just starting on his new job? I heard that USEm does not accept co-sponsors for k3.

thanks dora2x for the support. =)

I think that you should be fine. I just read this information from the US Embassy (Manila) link. It reads that it should be 1 year of returns. Here is the link-

http://manila.usembassy.gov/wwwh3219.html

Scroll to the I-864 Section.

My advice is to wait for the SO to request the information at the interview. In Jamaica, some petitioners were asked for information such as paystubs & others were not. To be on the safe side, post your question in the General Discussion Area (Philippines).

if your not sure about the 2007 tax , make sure your co-sponsor have 2007 coz that's the only return they asked me Tax 2007 and 2007 w2.

my husband was below poverty level on his 2007 tax but his current wage are above poverty level, so even though the consul didn't ask for co-sponsors, i gave it anyways.

If your husband's current earnings and income in the ITRs satisfy the 125% Poverty Level, then it's fine. I was on a K3 and I used a co-sponsor cause the income on my husband's ITRs were merely on the 125%, even though he was making above the poverty level the time we applied for the visa.

Yes they would not ask for your co-sponsor so when they ask for your Affidavit of Support during your pre-screening, tell 'em you have a co-sponsor and give them the papers right away. They better accept it. I would also suggest that you bring a copy of proof of U.S. citizenship for your co-sponsor.

Also, shouldn't your husband file for 2007 tax even though he doesn't owe taxes?

Did he not file for 2007 because he didn't work at all or b/c he thought that because he worked in the Philippines he didn't have to file?

Hi everyone! Hi thirdsjen! I missed you. It's been a long time. =)

My husband did not file for 2007 taxes.We have a certificate of no file from the IRS. I guess it's because he thought he wouldn't have to since he'd be staying in the Philippines. Do you guys think that would be a problem? His only proof of income is his letter of employment and most recent paystub. We attached a notarized letter of explanation.

Yup, I'm bringing along a photocopy of his naturalization certificate as well his his expired license and photocopy of his biographic passport page as proof of citizenship.

mrs. Scott, since I'm applying for k3, I'm using the I-134, not the I-184. =)

Your hubby normally CAN use a co sponsor for his K3.

thanks Lizscott!i:m gonna add a clipping from a magazine where my husband and i appeared. omg, i was just printing the chatlogs covering a 6-month period from the time my husband left the philippines last march 2008, it already reached 1,400 pages, even with the smallest readable font, size 8, and 0.5 margins everywhere!!! i already reached the 400th page when the printer started sputtering. i was talking to a fellow VJ member who thankfully knocked some sense into me that all the consul really needs to see is 20 pages.

wish me luck everyone! hope and pray the USEM won:t request for additional documents. i:m already getting cross-eyed from all the documents im gathering. i think i:m treating myself to the spa after this madness! heheh.

HelLO Daisy!

Your list are Ok... Try to check the documents that I prepared for my interview last July 29, maybe I can give you another idea about it.. Dont worry about the affidavit support of your husband because it will just give you more tension for your upcoming interview, I had to tell you this, that during my interview, there was another applicant who is under K1 havent/ forget to bring her fiancee's affidavit of support but she still got the pink slip and tell to pay for her visa delivery but she still need to submit the affidavit of support of her husband on the schedule that was gien to her....

GOODLUCK and GOD BLESS YOU!
