Colombia Club Part II

[ryna 132]

Hey everyone,

We're getting down to the wire here and have a couple more questions, specifically about the I-134...

The infamous Question 11, "I __ intend __ do not intend to make specific contributions..."

Which should I, the sponsor, check?

Also, I am waiting to receive word on a new job, hopefully before I leave next week for Bogotá (although it may be too late to update my I-134 in time), so I am also preparing a co-sponsor I-134 just in case.

Which should the co-sponsor check?

I want to know what the consulate in Bogotá expects to see here. I've seen so many answers here on VJ but don't know what our consulate wants to see.

Thanks!!

Ay! One more thing...

At the bottom of page 2 of the I-134, in the "Oath or Affirmation of Sponsor" section where the form is signed, there is a field in the PDF file next to the statement:

"I acknowledge that I have read "Sponsor and Alien Liability" on Page 2 of the instructions for this form and am aware of my responsibilities as a sponsor under the Social Security Act, as amended, and the Food Stamp Act, as amended."

Is this space for initials? Another signature? Nothing?

This is before the "I certify under penalty of perjury..." statement and signature line.

Thanks again!

Starting to go ...

Ryna, check the Example forms up top of the page, there's an excellent example for the I-134.. I've copied those specific answers word for word...

Hello All

well we are here in Bogota since sunday night, and the last couple of days have been quiet productive.. We didn't realize that the lab was only open from 7am - 10am, but really wasn't am huge impact.. After 2 full days, we've completed the Vaccines, Lab, Medical, and Paid the Visa Fee. So, we really have a free day tomorrow..

One issue with the DS156 that caught us off-gaurd. We learned when we went to pay the Visa Fee, that the Passport number is not the number on the Passport that says "Passport Number" in fact its a number in Red Ink on the Inside Cover of the Passport.. The bank would not take the DS156, so we went to an Internet Cafe just down the street and completed another form online, then went back to pay the Visa Fee with no issue..

Other than that, things have gone really smooth.. (knock on wood)

We also picked up the DAS Carta Migratorio, which was a huge worry for me, but thankfully, we found that to be no problem.. didn't even have to wait in line..

So now, all that's left is the Interview itself.. I think we are ready.. Although, I warned my fiancee that once we here the words "Approved - Welcome to America" she just might see a grown man cry.. She said, she may also shed a tear or two...

Hopefully all goes well on thursday..

Kenny,

All I want to say is "Best of luck, man!!!"

I am definitely hoping everything goes 110% perfect for you two! And, I'm sure that it will...

Can anyone tell me if I can carry a small bag or briefcase into the interview.. I have a ton of documents, and was hoping I could carry a small gym bag or computor bag or something like that into the Embassy..

Kenny, I'm wishing you two all the best. Enjoy your free day tomorrow. If you've never gone to to Monserrate and watch the lights come on in Bogota below from the restaurant up there. Then go home and get a good nights sleep.

Vayan con Dios!

Viva Colombia Club! I have returned after a crazy dry spell trying to get my account back with a bit of help from the admin folks. I have missed so much since I last logged in so I may not know whats the latest on everything. For those that do not know me I was just like you trying to find a way to get my wife into the states with all the heartache that the US Immigration system will try to throw at you. I just have to say have no fear. I am sure the Colombia Clubs record of 100% base hits and zero strike outs still holds. I will try to help answer some questions if I can, but memory only serves me correctly on the actual interview preparation.

Anyway an update on us; we took a trip outta Key West Fl to Orlando to visit Disneyworld in February. From then on it was a blur, after my training, we went on a cross country road trip making stops in Omaha Nebraska (to see my brother), Alberqueque New Mexico (to visit), Grand Canyon West at the Hualabi Tribe, Hoover Dam, Las Vegas, and finally to visit with my family in S. Cal. We were privelaged enough to get a chance to visit with Colombia Club's very own, Ken and Leidys in April before we had to head out for S. Korea for my next duty assignment. So pretty much been living in Korea until we can get back to the States. Despite the huge changes for Adriana since moving to the US and to Korea she says she couldnt be happier because she gets to spend it with me. Well thats whats been going on, I hope all of you guys are doing fine and hope to hear from some of the oldcomers and see how you guys are doing as well.

James and Adriana are great people. Be sure to visit again, amigo.
