Joy but then more worry??? Approved but what now?

[CraigO 0]

So we got our approval on 16/10/06! WOW! We are both so pleased.

But.....

Shari is currently in the UK on a work visa (so that we could be together during some of this process). Looking at the guide there are alot of forms that she needs to fill out and signed infront of a noterie (sp) how does her being in the UK effect this, is there any ways round this?

2nd Q.

Shari has recently graduated and her payslips work history reflect that of someone working part time whilst a full time student. Will this be frowned upon when sending in her payslips?

Anyone give me any tips or help with this?

P.S Congrats and warm wishes to all those who have recently rec approvals!

Congrats on your approval!

If you just mean getting forms notarised(notarized) then this can be done by a Notary Public in the UK. Call round a couple of solicitors and you're likely to find one that has a Notary on staff. They will stamp your documents with the '3D' stamp exactly as a US notary does. They will charge (I think I paid around £50 for a bunch of signings for the annulment of my first marriage in the US.)

So long as you meet the financial/income/asset requirements, I wouldn't foresee this as a problem.

Good luck

hi,

Who's Shari and who are you? (relative to the process, that is).

Foreign Notary Publics are not the same thing as US Notary Publics; be clear on what documents you need witnessed to make sure Shari even needs to notarize anything.

If you clarify your situation some, I'm sure you'll get good direction for your next steps.

What are the income requirements for an Affidavit of Support?

You also must meet certain income requirements (whether you are a sponsor, a joint sponsor, or a substitute sponsor). You must show that your household income is equal to or higher than 125 percent of the U.S. poverty level for your household size (See table below.) Your household size includes you, your dependents, any relatives living with you, and the immigrants you are sponsoring. For example, if you have a spouse and two children and you want to sponsor your brother and his wife, you must prove that your household income is equal to or higher than 125 percent of the U.S. poverty level for a family of six, or $33,500, from the table below. You must also include in your household size any immigrants you have previously sponsored under this part of the law. In the above example, if you had previously sponsored your parents and your sister, your household size would be nine persons and you would need a household income of 6,250 ($2,000 + $4,250).

If you, the sponsor, are on active duty in the Armed Forces of the United States, and the immigrant you are sponsoring is your spouse or child, your income only needs to equal 100 percent of the U.S. poverty level for your family size.

What to send to your fiance(e) once the I-129F is approved (Receive NOA2):

1. A copy of the entire I-129f package (that you made when you sent the petition in) and a copy of information that you sent back due to an RFE (if you received one).

2. Send all originals of the documentary proof that you submitted for the I-129F to your fiance(e) for their interview at the embassy.

3. Send an original letter affirming your desire to marry your fiance(e) and your continued support of the K-1 Visa. Sign and date the form. This will be similar to the letter you provided with the I-129F, but dated much closer to the interview (it will have most likely been several months since you submitted your I-129F).

4. I-134 Affidavit of Support form. Ensure it is notarized (by a US Notary Public), with all required supporting evidence. Begin collecting the required information ahead of time, as it can often take several weeks to collect it all.

5. You will likely need at a minimum (for the above form) two to three of your most recent pay stubs and a signed letter from your employer listing you job title, start date, your salary, and the status (full-time) of your position. Begin collecting these ASAP after your NOA2 arrives. You will also probably want to include other evidence such as your banking information and other assets as required by the I-134. Specifically you will need at least 2 of the 4 options mentioned in Section II-Supporting Evidence of the I-134. See this FAQ for more tips and ueful information on the Affidavit of Support Form.

6. A copy of the NOA2 that you received in the mail.

7. Proof of your ongoing relationship. This needs to be taken to the interview! Include photos, travel documents, emails, etc from between the time you filed and present (NOA1 date-now).

Examples: Copies of phone bills, cell phone bills, emails (you can edit personal info with a marker), letters (edit personal info also), stamps on the letters (to document the date they were sent), and other written documentary proof. Provide a reasonable amount; two to four of each type. Pick a range of dates up to and including the present. You can also include a copy of engagement ring receipt (this is something that is a big optional - do not worry if you do not have a ring yet!)
