Affidavit of Support

[Nwanyioma 11]

Hi VJers,

I have a silly question to ask. As of October 19,2009, NVC mailed out our approved petition to the Lagos consulate. I a nurse and last year I made 46,000 on my 2008 tax. I dont have any kids and neither does he. Is my income sufficent or do I need a co-sponsor? Also how long will it take for my fiancee to get packet 3 from the Lagos consulate? Thanks so much

No question is ever silly.

In regards to your question though, the petitioner's income need to be at 100 percent of federal poverty guidelines as required under Section 212(a)(4) of the INA, with that said your '08 income is well above that so u good. As for your other question regarding packet i'm not quite sure since i'm dealing with a fiance in Ghana but Im sure our fellow VJs are sure to assist (my fiance is also at the stage of getting this packet 3 which we are being told to wait on a letter for appt date but 30days later we're still waiting ) but in the meantime it wouldnt hurt to shoot the Lagos consulate an email. Best of luck.

ps ive sent a couple of email to the Ghana consulate regarding my fiance's packet 3 so with fingers crossed hopefully we get a respond this week.

Your question is not silly in anyway, shape or form, it's something you need to know and i believe your income is well above the requirement. As for your question, your fiance will not receive any packet from the Lagos Consulate, you the petitioner will receive an email in about 3 weeks after they receive your petition with all the necessary documents attached and you will be asked to print them out and send to your fiance for his interview. The email will also contain the date of his interview. As soon as he gets the interview date, he needs to to immediately to Kamorass Hospital for his medicals, he does not need any paperwork because all paperwork he needs will already be at the hospital, he will have to deposit 10,000 upon his first hospital visit for all his blood work and other stuff, then they will give him an appointment for another time for the results and medical fitness test, at that visit he should go with 7,500 naira. He also needs to get his fingerprint done at Alagbon Close in Ikoyi. Hope you understand all this? you can pm me if you have any other questions. Congratulations on your approval and best wishes.
