I pray to the Almighty that I am just paranoid and freaking out for no reason! PLEASE HELP! Here it is...... In our I-130 package 2 pieces of evidence we used were affidavits of a bonifide marriage. One of them was by my niece, who was currently living with me where my husband will be comming home to. She stated her proof of why she indeed feels our marriage was real and mentioned being anxious for him to be comming home to be with us. Problem!... she does not live with me anymore. I am worried on my Affidavit of support when I just count me and my hubby that they will ask why she is not being claimed? Should I send them some kind of notice or something? What to do? She is living with my parents now and they will most likely be my cosponsor. I can't just expect them to assume she is staying there when they include her in there house hold size. I dont want to lie! That is never a good idea! Besides, if I count her then I will be below income requirements? Any Suggestions will be much appreciated!

Another question....she was 14 at the time. Is there and age requirement for those? If yes and she was below min age, does that mean they discareded it all together as evidence?

An affidavit from a 14 year old is not a strong piece of evidence. I would urge you to have an adult, rather than a child, provide you with an affidavit.

If you claimed your niece as a dependent on your most recent tax return then she is a part of your household count. If not, then she is not included in your household count.

It was not my only affidavit, the other was from my mother who has very strong relationship with my husband.I claimed her on 2009 transcript but not in 2010. She isn't in my house hold count, I already know that. The question is now that she isnt living with me and stated she was in her affidavit which was included in our I130 packet will this cause me any issues?

I'm not aware of any venue in which an affidavit from a minor, let alone one 14 years old, carries any weight of law.

06-04-2007 = TSC stamps postal return-receipt for I-129f.

06-11-2007 = NOA1 date (unknown to me).

07-20-2007 = Phoned Immigration Officer; got WAC#; where's NOA1?

09-25-2007 = Touch (first-ever).

09-28-2007 = NOA1, 23 days after their 45-day promise to send it (grrrr).

10-20 & 11-14-2007 = Phoned ImmOffs; "still pending."

12-11-2007 = 180 days; file is "between workstations, may be early Jan."; touches 12/11 & 12/12.

12-18-2007 = Call; file is with Division 9 ofcr. (bckgrnd check); e-prompt to shake it; touch.

12-19-2007 = NOA2 by e-mail & web, dated 12-18-07 (187 days; 201 per VJ); in mail 12/24/07.

01-09-2008 = File from USCIS to NVC, 1-4-08; NVC creates file, 1/15/08; to consulate 1/16/08.

01-23-2008 = Consulate gets file; outdated Packet 4 mailed to fiancee 1/27/08; rec'd 3/3/08.

04-29-2008 = Fiancee's 4-min. consular interview, 8:30 a.m.; much evidence brought but not allowed to be presented (consul: "More proof! Second interview! Bring your fiance!").

05-05-2008 = Infuriating $12 call to non-English-speaking consulate appointment-setter.

05-06-2008 = Better $12 call to English-speaker; "joint" interview date 6/30/08 (my selection).

06-30-2008 = Stokes Interrogations w/Ecuadorian (not USC); "wait 2 weeks; we'll mail her."

07-2008 = Daily calls to DOS: "currently processing"; 8/05 = Phoned consulate, got Section Chief; wrote him.

08-07-08 = E-mail from consulate, promising to issue visa "as soon as we get her passport" (on 8/12, per DHL).

08-27-08 = Phoned consulate (they "couldn't find" our file); visa DHL'd 8/28; in hand 9/1; through POE on 10/9 with NO hassles(!).

Time to chill, woman.

There is nothing for you to worry about. Breathe . . . and if ever asked about something answer truthfully. This is not the Spanish inquisition nor the witch trials of Salem. You must learn to relax or you will die early.

Ever-y-thing will be fine.

There is no room in this country for hyphenated Americanism. When I refer to hyphenated Americans, I do not refer to naturalized Americans. Some of the very best Americans I have ever known were naturalized Americans, Americans born abroad. But a hyphenated American is not an American at all . . . . The one absolutely certain way of bringing this nation to ruin, of preventing all possibility of its continuing to be a nation at all, would be to permit it to become a tangle of squabbling nationalities, an intricate knot of German-Americans, Irish-Americans, English-Americans, French-Americans, Scandinavian-Americans or Italian-Americans, each preserving its separate nationality, each at heart feeling more sympathy with Europeans of that nationality, than with the other citizens of the American Republic . . . . There is no such thing as a hyphenated American who is a good American. The only man who is a good American is the man who is an American and nothing else.

Yeah I know thanks for the reassurance. I am doing fine now. Was just a little overwhelmed with life at the moment of the post.:)
