After NOA2 What Do I Send?

[diana w 1]

Hey all,

So happy! We just got notification NOA2 in less than 4 months. My fiancee will be applying at the embassy in Bogota shortly, but I want to be prepared today for what I have to send. I've seen scattered information like sending on more evidence of our relationship such as phone records, and that sort of thing but I need to know more about the financial requirements necessary.

I've been saving all my pay stubs, but the problem is my taxes.

For a couple of reasons (including actually living with mi novia in Colombia) I haven't filed taxes since 2009. Nothing shady, was still labeled as a dependent, and also worked outside of the U.S. the majority of the time.

So I'm wondering, what financial documents are necessary to send on for her interview?

Also any other requirements would be super helpful!

Cheers

What they are looking for in the financial section is that your novia won't become a public charge. You need to show that you will be able to provide sufficiently for her and you- that is that you can/do provide/make 125% of the poverty guidelines- http://aspe.hhs.gov/poverty/12poverty.shtml which is about 19K for 2 people. If you can't show this by your own means, you will need a sponsor to fill out the I-134 also.
