On Disability INcome and receiving SSD -- $50k per year; choice of agent form, rejected; Related?

[brainiac 0]

Hi

Ok, I sent the DS-3032 choice of agent form in for my honey and paid the $70 fee on 10/8/2009. The NVC system shows the receipt and the status was set to PAID on 10/9. Now, as of 10/16, the status is set to REJECTED. I called the NVC and the woman I talked to said that she sees the 10/9/2009 status.

I am getting disability benefits now from my companies disability plan and SSD that add to $50k (2/3) of my pre-disability salary. My companies disability plan said that I needed to file for SSD, so I have, and am receiving approx. 1/4 of the total amount of the 2/3 of my pre-disabiltiy salary from Social Security.

My disability is considerred life threatening, but I am young and beating the odds. Is it possible, that the NVC just wants me to pay the $400 processing fee and the $70 fee and then wait to reject everything? Thought being, well he has this terminal illness (brain cancer btw) and he will die shortly anyway (ha, that is what i was told five years ago) so, let's reject him now even though he beats the poverty guidelines for a family of 2.

How would they know where I get my income from BEFORE sending in the I-864? I didn't lie on the USCIS forms about where I receive my income. Is that where and why they are rejecting me? Is the rejection and my income related or am I just being paranoid?

I just want to make a new start in life; my ex left me in a bitter divorce after 10 years of marriage. I want to get my new bride from Colombia here to start over. Life starts with a woman and this woman knows about my condition and has accepted me. Here in the states, after confessing my condition, women run away. It sucks, really it does.

Any thoughts or am I just being paranoid? I found a post where a lady called the NVC about a REJECTION status and the NVC said to ignore.

thanks

The DS-3032 isn't evaluated on income.

I suggest it's rejected because something was wrong with it.

You are being paranoid.

Take a look at this file - http://www.state.gov/documents/organization/80023.pdf

Review the copy of the DS-3032 that you sent in.

I'm guessing it's missing the barcode or the casenumber is not the right one?

Otherwise, relax.

AND - remember - the folk you speak to at NVC are contractors - and only can tell you what they see on a computer screen. You might get better results by emailing NVCInquiry@state.gov

GOOD LUCK (and calm down ! )

The I-864 - you're gonna need to prepare income statements (IMO ) - have them certified and/or audited by a CPA. Usually, income is looked at as W-2 or 1099 income - so you'll have to 'get them to look another way' with an income statement.

Thanks for the email address. I just sent an inquiry.

Last week, when the status was set to "PAID" I called the NVC and I explained that my wife had filled out the form incorrectly (she used her maiden name instead of my family name) and put my address on one line. I corrected these with my pen (original form was filled out in the PDF).

Also the bar code that I printed out was small and IMO unreadable. But the case number was there to see. I guess that is it, they got me on the form for not being perfect? Huh, the USCIS wasn't this picky. So in your opinion, will I get a reply from them any time soon? Or do I need to fedex my wife in Colombia their form with thier barcode on it and start over?

thanks

I have the disability stubs from the insurance company that I receive every month. But sure, I see your point with the SSD payments.

Are not my tax return transcripts for the last 3 years, the SSD 1099 for the last 3 years (you get one at the end of the year) and "pay stubs" enough?

The only thing I am missing is the employment letter and the monthly pay stubs from the SSD payments...those are direct deposited into my account. But again, at the end of the year I get a 1099.

You could have her send in another DS-3032 - Here's a Suggestion :

1. use this DS-3032 -

http://www.state.gov/documents/organization/80023.pdf

Fill it out, PRINT IT to another PDF file (using CutePDF/Writer at http://www.cutepdf.com/ ) then email the DS-3032 to her.

2. have her PRINT OUT the DS-3032, SIGN IT, then scan it back in, email it to NVCInquiry@state.gov.

3. Alternatively, she can email it to you, then you print it, send it via postal mail to NVC.

Good Luck !
