K1 iNterview

[ManTra 1]

I am on active duty in the US Army and with the nature of my work, I may or maynot be able to be present with my fiance for the K1 interview. Will it in anyway affect our application, if I'm not physically present at the embassy?

Sorry I keep coming back, but without each one of you guys i would have been in a complete mess. All ideas are welcomed

you dont have to be there at the interview.

i was by myself when i did cos my fiance couldnt take the time off from work. and he is in the US air force.

so dont worry about it.

i was alone at the embassy but everything went well.

good luck.

HEY! I'm in the Air Force TOO! When you prepared the I-134 Affadait of Support...did he add his base pay, BAH or OHA, COLA and BAS to the income block??? (ALL ENTITLEMENTS???)

I know my base pay alone should put me over the "100%" level, but I'm worried they might reject it and ask for more accurate earnings. All I got is several LES and maybe a W-2!

no. as long as you comply all requirements and follow instructions then its all good.

the fiance's presence is not a requirement.

oh hold on... his lawyer arranged the tax returns for him and faxed it over.

i hadnt had a chance to go through it cos i got his fax at 1am and my flight for manila (USEM) was at 5 that very morning.

and he dont remember what his lawyers prepared. he was on deployment when i asked for it.

but i remember just seeing a W2 - it was reviewed by the consul and was given a go.

hope i helped.

good luck!

Some Embassies won't allow you to be present during the interview.

The OP had better rely on one or more valid answers from people who have dealt with HIS embassy.

Hey eveyryone, this is more related to the I-134 and whats needed for the interview. I included the I-134, W-2s from this year, and the past year of LES (pay stubs for civies that dont know)....DO THEY ABSOLUTELY NEED MY 1040s???????????????

I'm also military. I have an official letter from my command stating that a) I'm active duty in a certain paygrade and B) cannot be present at the interview. Two birds with one stone. It's an automatic given that you're meeting the income requirements if they have verification that you hold a certain paygrade. What I have:

- The aforementioned letter

- 2007 1040 (didn't send a W-2)

- Six months of LES from mypay.gov

I put a bunch of other stuff (eg. assets and side income) on the I-134 but i'm not sure it's really material since the verification that i'm military should be a "rubber stamp."
