Double checking what we should have !!!

[kristinanddan09 1]

Here we go ! Woohoo! lol, well I'm kind of excited and not excited about the paperwork that needs to be done haha, but I'm triple-checking what we have!!! Thanks for the input

Myself (petitioner):

I am organizing a packet with divers and everything labeled that he needs to add as well. However these are the documents I'm sending him:

Current Intent to Marry Signed and Dated

Copy of I-129 packet sent off previously

Evidence of keeping in touch (i'm keeping this small, screen prints of phone calls, bbm messages, (no visits since my last visit there so no new photos to give anyways) but not a lot, as I know from reading reviews London does not look at these like at all)

I am confused about the I-134 though, I am a little short in what I needed to make to support us, I have enough in savings to cover the difference for 5 years, but I want a co-sponsor to be on the safe side. Does anyone know if they updated 2012 for what we need to make in a year? I have already gotten 2009-2011 tax transcripts from the IRS for myself. Unfortunate from this year compared to last year I did make a significant amount more as I was in a new job that paid more and I got a lot more hours than previous year. I also just received the amount that is in my stock account, can I send a copy of that along with it? Do I need to print out pay stubs to show what I make in a month now? 1 month or more?

With my co-sponsor, I was just going to use my sister, she made over the 18K mark, does it matter if she has a son? Or can she just fill out the I-134 and that be all? Does it have to show that she has partial custody of him ? And I understand she needs two pieces of evidence, is her W-2 and a couple months of bank statements to show the money being deposited in there every 2 weeks?

Now for Daniel:

One our case is logged in the system, he can send in :

DS-230 pt 1 (1 copy, signed, pages 1 and 2 only)

DS-156 (2 copies, signed both, this one has the barcode)

DS-156K (1 copy, do NOT sign)

DS-157 (2 copies, do NOT sign)

DS-2001 (as soon as our case is logged, I'd like him to make his appt for his medical, this is okay right? Cause then he'll be able to send in this form)

Cover Letter stating Name, e-mail address, anticipated date of wedding (padded by a month), and the date of the medical)

and this is all sent to the London Embassy, can anyone tell me what the address is or where I can find it?

Then for his interview, he'll bring the paperwork I sent to him and :

passport

police certificate (do they give this back to him at the medical?)

long form birth certificate

2 US sized passport pictures

anything else he needs??

Thanks everyone, you guys are amazing and so very helpful to me during this time!

None of this is needed. The letter of intent would be if it took him past the NOA expiration (end of May?) before he sent anything back to London. I doubt you'll let him dally that long.

I am confused about the I-134 though, I am a little short in what I needed to make to support us, I have enough in savings to cover the difference for 5 years, but I want a co-sponsor to be on the safe side.

The USCIS will have the latest on their website http://www.uscis.gov/i-864p As of today, the 2012 has not been published. If you sign your I-134 before the new 2012 is out, then they are supposed to use the one in effect on the date you signed.

100% of the guidelines is accepted from the fiance for an I-134. See last question on this DOS web page http://travel.state.gov/visa/immigrants/info/info_3182.html If you were $1000 short, then make up the difference with 3 times in assets, ie. 3x$1000 shortfall=$3000 needed in assets. A statement from a broker should be sufficient proof.

London does not require a tax return if you have other solid proof like an employer letter and/or maybe 3 months of pay stubs. With a job having variable hours/income the most recent tax return may be the best way to give a picture of a whole year.

With my co-sponsor, I was just going to use my sister, she made over the 18K mark, does it matter if she has a son? Or can she just fill out the I-134 and that be all? Does it have to show that she has partial custody of him ? And I understand she needs two pieces of evidence, is her W-2 and a couple months of bank statements to show the money being deposited in there every 2 weeks?

It sounds like she has to meet requirements for a family size of 3 (her, child, immigrant). A W2 alone is not a complete tax return. Does she have a tax return, employer letter, or pay stubs?

They tell you about the forms in Step One on this embassy webpage and the address is in the right column

http://london.usembassy.gov/iv_15.html

Then for his interview, he'll bring the paperwork I sent to him and :

passport

police certificate (do they give this back to him at the medical?)

long form birth certificate

2 US sized passport pictures

There's a link in Step Two of the London webpage that takes you to the list of documents to bring to the interview. He will also present his appointment letter and receipt for paying the visa fee in advance. The medical people do not keep his police certificate.
