I-134 Warsaw "tired eyes" questions

[M@hew 1]

Good evening all,

So my Fiancee and I will be going to Warsaw in the month of March to do her interview. (I may or may-not make it there, depends on work.) Anyhow, I've been reading all over today and my eyes are bleeding now; so I figure that I'd just ask a few burning questions.

In essence, for those of you who did their interview in Warsaw from Belarus... I have the I-134 form and am in the process of completing it. I've heard each location is different with requirements and such... therefore I'd love to know. What did the embassy ask for proof with the I-134? For me I can easily print out copies of the past 3 years of my W2s. It's not easy to get the entire tax returns printed though.

Just curious what all you guys had to bring as proof that you're not going to leave your other half in the food-stamp line? Also, is there an actual requirement or magic number they look for in terms of income? Say if I make $40k a year...is this enough? And what about assets? If I make say $80k a year for the past i dunno...let's say the last 4 years... should I include assets that are less than $10k in value? (Just an example, of course. Wish I made $80k)

Let's see, other questions that are cooking my noodle... I have all of my original documents that I received NOA1 and NOA2, letter from the NVC saying that they have our file, and things like that. Should all of this go to my woman in Belarus before the interview? or are scanned copies sufficient?

Anyhow, I'm just acting nervous about this because I am! It's huge to be so close and yet so far. Would love to hear stories about your experiences in Warsaw, especially if your Fiancee is from Belarus.

Ok, going to go close my eyes for a bit. All this reading made me feel like I was back in school again.

Cheers all!

You have to make above the federal poverty level. If it's just your woman, look at line 2. If she has a child, line 3...

Not sure about whether they will accept scanned copies vs originals.

It's best for her to have original copies of everything that you have...

Here is my experience:

I went with my wife to her interview in Warsaw, I had gathered all the backup support for the I-134 thinking that I may need it; which consisted of the 2008-2010 transcripts, employment letter, and 3 recent months of electronic paystubs (I didn't bother with assets since I made over the 125% poverty line). The only thing they asked/took was the I-134.

Personally, I thought Warsaw was an easy embassy. I was allowed to be with her during the interview, and answer questions.

After the interview, your fiancee will get a piece of paper that basically says to show back up the next morning (they need to do some kind of background check). You will then find out if the visa is approved or not the next morning, and if approved you can pickup your passport with visa that afternoon (around 3pm I think).

Best of luck.

If income is sufficient, sounds like it is is, leave the asset information blank. They need your most recent tax return (2011 or 2010) either a transcript (you can have faxed to you) or a copy of the most recent return with your w-2s attached. Also attach some recent paycheck stubs, and a few months bank statements, That should be enough

Thanks everyone for the help. I will have to pool all of this paperwork together tonight since tomorrow I leave to Belarus for work. (well, so I tell my bosses)

I appreciate all the input and advice. My eyes were simply shot last night after all the reading and being on the verge of a cold.

Ok, thanks again y'all and I'm off to the airport to MSQ!

Cheers,
