Well to anyone following us.. we got our appointment for the K-1 Visa in Nicaragua.. took us 2 months (I know fast!!) but the downfall of course being I am deploying to Afghanistan next year :( !!!

Anyways, the consulate was very professional and always there to help me via email. I simply told them we were ready for our appointment and same day they sent me the date (September 27th), only 6 days since packet 4 to which they also sent to us via email both in Spanish and English! Great JOB!

I'm a bit nervous I'm not going to lie, I can shoot M16's M4's throw grenades get shot back (training purposes) and not even flinch, but throw this at me and im shakin' jajaja.. oh man I hope we do well!!!

For evidence, I have 36 photos of us, several Moneygram (money orders to pay for paperwork and medical) receipts, letters (copied), Leave Forms (Showing the Army allowing me to leave to visit her for memorial day and this weekend), airplane itineraries (just a couple), receipts from my trips (just a couple as well), international calling card receipts (PINGO.COM)...

Also for documents, I have my I-134 and the H&R E-File transcript (the 1040EZ), as well as the W2's and 1099G (unemployment tax form). Since in 2009 (my previous tax year) I did NOT make enough (about $8,000) I also grabbed my mother just in case to be a co-sponsor if they ask, however since I make approximately $50,000 a year due to being a 2nd Lieutenant in the U.S Army, the consulate told me to bring 3 months of previous pay stubs (LES for you army folks) and that should be okay, but I am NOT taking any chances and bringing my mothers I-134 as the co-sponsor.

So, I hope I'm covered her on my side, my fiancee has all her paperwork ready to go as well. Someone give me some OKAYS ! and RELIEF because I'm literally going a bit crazy here thinking perhaps I've missed something or I need to add something as well...

Thank you for reading !! God Bless! WISH US LUCK !!!!!!

HEYYY

SUP MAN!.... I'm so happy for you guys and praying for your interview :dance:... I think you guys are ready to go... seems like you have everything.. just make sure to make copies of everything.. and W2 and 1040.. when the CO asked me for those I showed her originals and she said.. copies please!!! so yeah try to bring copies.. and about your past year taxes. I think you will be fine.. my fiance took 2 years taxes returns and she didnt make much back then.. she just wrote a letter stating why she wasnt making enough and why she didnt file taxes for 2007 ( she was studying back then) she signed it and that was it!... you can sponsor her.. I mean you are making way over the minimun.. :thumbs: if you just want to be safe, you can write a letter explaining... so yeah Good luck and keep us posted!

You should not have any problem with the income requirements because the consul officer will focus on your current sustained income. Your current sustained income will be reflected by your recent pay stubs.

In case the consul officer misses the fact that you are on a trajectory to make $50K this year, make sure your fiancée knows to point it out to them.

The rest of your documents look fine.

Good luck Javier and Karen! :star::thumbs:
