Mabuhay!

Im one of those temporarily unemployed/retired folks so My Income is below poverty 2008. I been working hard and saving $$$ all my life, dont need to work anymore.

I was wondering if Manila Embassy is hard on "Assets" filers, I know it's up the the embassy. I do plan to work of course after we get to the states.

Seems odd to me that CO would decline an I-864 that meets the guidelines several times over but I hear that some embassy just don't like to trust the assets.

What's the buzz on Manila and a retired married couple? Any VJ'ers pass Manila on Assets?

When I had my interview for IR-1 my husband was out of work for almost 1 year. I had my FIL's federal tax with me and a co-sponsor document that they both signed just incase they ask about my husband's affidavit of support. I think I was just so lucky that i was not asked about it, or they already knew he is unemployed because its what came up in my data summary. Use your asset, it might help a lot besides its depends on the CO so we dont know what they're going to ask, just have all the documents ready that even your income is below poverty level you still have some enough to support both of you.

A friend I help gets his wife a visa only used assets. They did a DCF as they lived in Mindanao. The CO didn't hesitate OKing the visa as USEM wants all Americans out of Southern and Central Mindanao.

Both of your posts sound promising..Thanks. We are not from Mindanao we are in Negros so they won't boot me out for Mindanao reasons :)

Doh! My reply sounded dorky and system says I don't have pemission to edit it.

We are not from Mindanao, Wife is from Negros, so they won't approve us just to get me out of Mindanao.

I feel a little better about my "Assets" status at least. It's obvious I have enough asset to keep wife off of welfare. etc. so hopefully that's all they are looking for.

TY again!
