Fiance Packet questions

[Shannon and David 0]

Read here too: Affidavit of Support Tips

To answer your question about the affidavit of support, only the USC has to prove he/she meets the required income to sponsor the foreign fiance. Your financial situation, as the foreign fiance, wont be taken into consideration.

You may also want to read the instructions on the I-134 form, you'll find a link to it on the same link I provided above.

I read it has to be Notarized. Right? How much does it cost to get this notarized on average? He doesn't have to much time to be leaving work and the more information I can give him on this the better.

Getting the I-134 notarized is cheap. I went to my bank and had it done for free as it is a credit union. You never know, there may be a notary in your/his place of employment. (I'm sorry, but I can't remember who is the USC.) And it should be cheap, regardless.

Ooooooh! Okay, I get it now. Quick question. My mother lives in the address they have, so if I go up to the States in the next 15 days and my mom recieves the intructions here. Do I have to take the original or can she just fax it to me? I mean, do they require me to take the original that they sent me? Just so I can advise my mom on what to do. And do they send it through DHL or UPS? Or regular mail? Because I live far from the city and mail takes 3 times longer to get here if it does get here at all. That really has me concerned.

I was asked to bring the original appointment letter for the medical exam and for the interview as well, I'm not sure if the Embassy in Mexico will require to see the original appointment letter. Here in Guatemala, the Embassy used "El Correo" which is the national mail service. What we did was, after a couple weeks of receiving the NOA2, I (foreign fiance) emailed the US Embassy in Guatemala, and provided them our case number and asked them if they already had scheduled our interview, they replied in a week or so, with our interview date and telling me that I should be receiving the instruction packet soon. Maybe you can search on the website of the Embassy in CDJ and see if they have an email there.

Oh and I forgot to say that: Si hablo español... jeje

I will start reading all the links that have been provided to me asap. I just need to clear my head today. I thought I had it figured out...

My fiance got the I-134 notarized for free, I think he went to the City Clerk's office, but let me ask him so I can give you the exact name of the place were he did it.

What you could do is, start preparing the documents you'll need for the interview before you travel to the U.S., you can read the Embassy's info. on this link, there is also a list of documents you will be asked to complete: US Embassy- Ciudad Juárez, México.

If you want to, you can PM in spanish or post on the regional forum in spanish too.

No te preocupes si tenes mas preguntas, me alegra poderte ayudar.

Saludos!

1000 Gracias!!!

I am starting to understand a little better thanks to everyone that has answered and posted so many helpful links. So far what I think I am missing is the crimminal report that I will do on Wednesday and for him to do the affidavit.

This is what I have gathered that I will need for my interview based on someone elses experience in Ciudad Juarez:

• invitation letter
• passport
• medical results
• D-156 and D-156K
• two passport photos
• CDJ-401/2
• birth certificate original
• passport
• recent job offer letter indicating salary and start date (stapled to it was my business card)
• three of his latest paycheck stubs
• latest 401(k) statement
• form W-2s for 2006, 2005, and 2004
• latest social security report
• extra copy of birth certificate and original and copy of birth certificate translation
• extra copy of DS-156K
• extra copy of CDJ-401/2

Am I missing anything?

Oh and also, from what I have gathered Mexico doesn't require appointments for I-129F interviews. But I'm still not sure on that. I think I read something like that on the Consular site for Mexico.
