hey guys!

I have a question - for the K1 VISA-do you have to own a house or other property or will your salary be suffecient proof of income?

I always thought it was just proving with your salary, but then I am about to buy a house and may or may not have closed by then so I thought "I bet the VJ friends will know!" hahaha

Thanks guys!

I LOVE MY HUSBAND!!!!!!!!!!!

Your salary alone will be sufficient....Only way property comes into it is if your salary is below the minimum guidelines set ($16,500 for two people) you can then show ownership of property to help meet the requirements....

Ok you guys, since I have time on my hands as I await our Visa delivery. I have scanned & saved in PDF the entire contents of Packet #3 for all upcoming petitioners. How do I post this?

Here it is.............Reading you can see why some of us were worried about the $335 request & side profile shots & I-864. Crazy.

thank you so much for posting this! so those of you who were recently interview: these items were not necessary? another thing i just don't get is why do the tax returns need to be notarized?

Only some items were required. The $335 not needed, the side profile-not needed, the I-864 is questionable--someone posted earlier that they were required to have it for their interview when they needed a co sponsor.

I did all of the above because it was in writing from the embassy just to be safe with the confusion over there. It will never hurt to be over prepared. It is apparent that things are very disorganized over there & they can ask for anything at anytime. I know many of us have had approvals & success, but I want to remind all of those waiting that while I was there listening to other people getting interviewed it was very tense & many of them only had a few pieces of paper with them as they walked in the door. So be strong, over prepared. Ensure your fiance knows all interview questions.

What if you just graduated from college so you meet the minimum now but haven't in the past (for obvious reasons)? How long should you wait to apply? 3 yrs? :unsure:

You can opt for a co-sponsor. If you graduated from college and started working in 2006, your 2006 income may be sufficient.

I don't have any close friends/family that would want to cosponsor :( Hopefully just the one-year of income will be ok
