Wish i would have known i would be going through this process...i never keep the paystubbs , let alone 3 months worth!! I plan on showing 3 years of w2's , 3 years of tax transcripts, probably like one to two months paystubbs and maybe some mortgage statements...hope this is suffice.

Byron,

Start saving your paystubs now and I'm sure that you will have 3 months worth by the time your interview date is set.

Scott,

Although the I134 instructions states that you do not have to provide tax returns unless self-employed.

However, Packet 4 says the following

(12)Pruebas de sostenimiento. De su prometido(a) : “Affidavit of Support” –

(Forma I-134) carta de empleo y declaraciones de renta (1040) del último año.

Always provide more, never think that the minimum is sufficient. If they would ask for only 10 photos, give them 20.

I also qualified on income alone, no assets. This is what I provided with my I134.

I134

1) Employment letter

2) 3 months of paystubs

3) W2 & 1040 for 2004, 2005, 2006

4) Tax transcripts for 2004, 2005, 2006

Lucho,

Do we have to include rent receipts, too?

I saw that the CO asks Sam y Nydia for this.

Lucho,

Thanks for the info...we are still holding our breath for NOA2 . In the meantime getting ourselves prepped...so far so good...I will be in Colombia next week and Yenifer and I will hopefully get most of pack 3 ready to send when the time comes.

I've got a question --

http://usembassy.state.gov/posts/co1/wwwfi...ptember2007.pdf

We filed for a K1, but the appointment list shows our category as CR2. What's a CR2?

I hope that this doesn't cause any issues......

That's odd. A CR2 visa is for a child related to the USC. I don't think you'll have any issues though, they should know what you're interviewing for as soon as you walk up to the window and see that Mónica is not your child.

That's funny I do this when she acts like a "child"

FYI -- That was the link for all September 2007 interviews

That list is all screwed up. Our case shows up as an F3 visa on 9/5/07 @ 7AM. Our case is actually for a CR1 visa on 9/27/07 @ 7AM. Puh-lease.

Don't forget the employer letter. That seems to be about as important as the tax returns....because it proves you still have a permanent job that pays at a level above that required.

Mike

PS - not sure why you'd need your mortgage statement.

Now that you mention it, my case number is assigned a different date than the Hoja de Cita that I got in the mail....

Rent receipts? For rental of what? An apartment for the spouse/fiancee in Colombia? Never hear of this before. If there is anything "unique" to your facts and circumstances related to your case, you may want to bring along evidence.

Maybe your are talking about the "declaraciones de renta"...which is your 1040.

By the way, if you have the tax transcript, you don't need copies of your return....and vice versa.

Can someone tell me if there is a difference between transcripts and copies of tax returns because I have copies dating back at least a few years given to me by my accountant for my own records...is this the same thing as the transcipts?
