@ Rhonda: gratz on his new job.

And for me this was in my email this morning: Notice mailed welcoming the new permanent resident.

The interview went real smooth. I didnt have to show any evidence at all. She only said that Andrew didn't make enough, but he starts a new job friday so we showed her the contract with his salary and problem was solved.

She didnt even look at our vacination supllement.

She asked when and were we met. Why he loves me and why I love him. What kind of wedding and were was the reception. Witch family members of mine he met and who I met of his.

And she checked the info on the forms. That was about it.

So I am a very happy camper right now :-D

Can anyone here tell me if our consulate has special requirments that need to be met when it comes to the I-129F petition ?

I heard that

- my sponsor would need at least 125% of poverty level (how much is that ?? yearly / hourly ??)

- he/she has to have payed taxes over that for at least 3 years.

Others state that you only need to have the first, and as long as the consular officer is convinced that its sustainable.

Say thats true, how do you convince the consular officer that it is sustainable /?

My fiancee is still a student.

She did work for one and the same company for the last five years during her study.

She also had a nanny job which is not a taxable income ...

But she will graduate soon and then she will have a fulltime job. Not necesarilly straight away one she needs her degree for, but still enough to reach the 125%+

Any thoughts???

welcome to our little corner.

For the k-1 visa, I remember that my So didnt have to make the 125% yet. it is btw different per state and it is per month. She needs to make 125% after you are married and you file for AOS in the states.

My hubby didnt make the 125% the past 3 years but last week with proof of his new job and his new income it was enough.

[M4rinus 1]

So your saying she doesnt even need 125% ??

uh oh ... another option ...

But ...

you also said 'state' and 'month'

How about : we file the papers next week .... at USCIS Nebraska ... because she is from Colorado ...

Will that help you help me ??

[jackybeertje 0]

with the I-134 you file for the k-1 visa she doesn't have to prove yet that she makes 125% of the poverty thing. But it will all say in the papers.

That part comes after marriage when you file for AOS. Then it will be $17,112 a year that she has to make. And after you get married and she doesn't make the requirements then you can take a co sponsor.

Hi everyone!

A little update, we received 3 letters from USCIS today! Two were receipts for the AOS + EAD payments and the other one that our file has been transferred to CSC. Hope that is good news!

Jac,

How's everything with your new job?

Hope everyone else is doing fine!!!

Hugs,

edi

hi all!

i was wondering if ayone knows the cost of vaccinations in holland. also, i have my vaccination book from years ago, will that help? my insurance right now only covers €75 worth. should i upgrade it?

thanks!

[jackybeertje 0]

hi marieke; i don't remember how much it was. Your vaccination record will help, that will proof that you don't need to many vaccins. You need to go to a special doctor in a'dam whom is assigned by the consulate and insurance doesn't cover that as far as I know.

[marieke 1]

really? i chose the additional vaccination insurance package from my incurance company. well i'll try to find out, i dont want to pay extra for nothing! thanks!

[marieke 1]

are all the dutchies approved? theres no one here!
