IV fee reduction?????

[Tahlisha 28]

Thanks

My only concern is that I'd need some kind of certificate from law school allowing me to do this or something.

You should look into it..... When I first started on this journey I came across a guy who was doing a prep service. He preped the papers or helped you do it or whatever... But he wanted a fortune... Not sure if he was a lawyer. But I do remember him saying he got into it after going through the process of bringing his wife from China....

Hmmm. I'm certainly qualified in the sense that I went through this process and know much about it. I just don't know if I'm legally allowed to give this advice in return for money without some kind of certificate. And I would not know even where to start to looking into it if I can or not.

I think I know who you are talking about here, if I am thinking correctly, the guy you are speaking of is a matchmaker for a living, not a lawyer.

You don't need any kind of special certificate to give advice on the immigration process in return for money (see what I wrote above). HOWEVER, you would have to clearly state that you are not an attorney and cannot give legal advice. Additionally, you would probably have to obtain a license to run the business (as prescribed by applicable state and local statute).

Yeah, I figured I needed a disclaimer of some sort. As I obviously don't have any legal training, I would just be basing my advice on my own personal experience and research.

Never thought about a business license though...

1 more question for you Saylin.... On the sponor form which box should the sponsor check at the end.... The one that says they intend to give the sponsee money and then list an amount they plan to give and how often or would it be ok to check the one that says they don't intend to give the sponsee money??????

Um what question number are you referring to? There's no such question on the I-864....

[Tahlisha 28]

Hummm... Maybe I printed the wrong thing I will get back to you on that

Yes please

Gotta make sure you're submitting the right form

Ok.... so it looks like I printed the wrong form

Now my question is..... Even though I need a sponsor I still need to complete the I-864 form as well correct???? And If I have to complete the form how should my self and my sposor answer question # 8????

[Tahlisha 28]

And if I am to complete the form .... For question 21 should I leave "C" blank since I have to enter 1 for "A"?????

That would explain why that question wasn't familiar to me

Yes, even if you have a co-sponsor, the petitioner STILL has to fill out an I-864. No I-864 from the petitioner, no case complete at NVC. It's required, whether you make no income or not.

For question 8, you'd both check the box off, as well as the box saying 'yes' right below it.

Although it sounds weird, yes, you leave C blank as the spouse has already been counted for in A. And you do NOT count anyone twice on this question.

You should look into becoming a paralegal

Ok thanks a bunch... Really don't know what I would do with out you... You have been the most helpful

I'd love to help people out full-time as a job, but there's no law school here in town or anything, so I wouldn't be able to get the certificates/degrees needed to legally be allowed.

But if anyone wants to offer me money or stuff, I won't say no

Hehe, no problem I love helping people out when I can! That's why I'm still here, a year after moving to the US!

Ok... Just one more silly question and I should be good unless I get an REF..... Asks for my annual income.... Right now I am only getting child support. Should I tally up how much I would get for the year and use taht or should I use income from last year Tax return?

I was laid off this is why I need a sponsor.. But I just finished a medical assistant course and am now doing my externship (200 hours which I don't get paid for ) god willing I will be working by mid june. Where I live my rent goes according to my income... So right now my rent is zero. Would it be a good idea to include a letter explaining my current situation?
