Guys I dont know what to do or whats that mean. At the embassy they asked me how did you met , when did u met with your husband. And asked do u have any joint account with your husband. And I said no we did not stay that much with him.Cuz my husband left after 2 weeks.Finally she said everything looks good.But u need bank account that should be showing 15K usd on bank.I said supposed be deposit long time ago doesnt matter? She doesnt matter just need 15K to show.And gave me green paper says collect bank account with 15 k and your passport.She told me that get fax from your husband and send us by ups. And we will send your visa.But the point is they did not keep my passport.Other ppls who have green they were also holding thier passport with green paper. Whats that mean guys? I am so sad. And dont know what to do?

Thank you in advance.:crying:

If your hubby does have 15K in the bank I would have him send proof via fax ASAP! It doesn't mean you are denied. I do not understand the CR1...sounds like the income requirements.

I guess something like that. But I have never heard that somebody needed money in bank account. And I m thinking if I fail why supposed to say collect the missing docs and send us. We will send your visa.I did not get it.If I fail they can say easily am I right? So still Idk whats that mean.They kept my husband's 2009 federal tax docs and guessing my passport pics also.And I did not pay any money. Was not I supposed to pay 45 $ for CR1?

I think this is a matter of income requirements not being met, but it sounds like you are approved. You "passed." Problem being the income.....I am looking it up now. It is kind of strange that only now this is a problem...I am going to look it up now.

I'm so sorry, lady. It sounds like it's income requirements not met. Does he meet the income requirements without assets? Keep us posted ... saying some Ohms for you ... (F)

Also, don't know about visa fees for Turkey ... we don't pay anything at the Consulate for CR1 here (unless it's DCF).

OUR JOURNEY SO FAR: (dd/mm/yyyy)

16/07/10 - POE LAX (256 days NOA1 to interview)

It looks like yes you do need the I864 affidavit of support which I am sure was included. I know your husband needs to meet the 2010 poverty level at 125%...I cannot find 2010...but 2009 (this number goes up a little every year) for 2 people was 18K...so if he doesn't make this much yearly, then whatever amount he is short I know they make you have 2 times that amount in assets...I.E "money in the bank" or property, etc. So I am guessing his income is around 7K short of the 125% poverty level requirement for a family of 2 (unless he has other dependents, then the income requirement goes up).

I am so sorry that this has come up only now. Did your hubby prepare everything? I am hoping others come along soon to help out with advice more than I can.

Hang in there...

If he does then YES! No problem.

You will need to follow their directions on sending the proof via UPS...just a little delay sounds like.

Dear ErikaAndHamit, ty for your messages.My husband tax docs shows that his income was arround 14K. Cuz he was in Turkey and ofc did not work at that time.Thats why. Atleast something we know. Ty once again.My husband will send me the bank statement in this week. After hopefully I will be approved. :(

Sounds like you passed, and will get the visa as soon as you send the paper in. :thumbs: How far away are you from where you interviewed? Can you take your passport back there, or would you have to mail it? I would call the embassy and ask how they want you to send your passport in. Grats! :dance: (more dances when you actually have the visa!)
