a scenario for sponsor/co-sponsor- I-134 will it work?

[zethris 0]

I will be filling out an affidavit and be the primary sponsor.

I make $30,000/year from my regular job that i had been at for 6 months as of December. (plus extra

that I have yet to file taxes for as it's a new business started this year)

just a few weeks prior I had a job that was $25,600 and started that December of last year.

So most likely I will include pay stubs from both positions and letters from both positions, correct?

having the paystubs and the signed letters from my employers, is that enough? Or is something

else required too like the bank letter?

What if I hadn't had an account for a full year with them yet? What do you think it is specifically that

they need to look at? Just proof of direct deposits? Or do they actually care about what is actually in

the account? After all this time wasted with IMBRA, and keeping Elaine afloat for 7 months more than

planned i'm drained of my savings and live paycheck to paycheck until she gets here and can start working

doing my web design business and I wouldn't have to send anything over there to help supplement her

income with her current job in bohol. (pays about $50/mo equiv. and I don't buy into people who then say she should live in a ####### heap because of that)

Part 2:

I have my mother filling out an affidavit of support just in case my stuff isn't good enough.

First question on this, if she is combined with me automatically, does she still have to have 2 forms of

proof of being able to offer support because I have at least one already? OR will the tax return from 2005 and the 2 P&L statements from her businesses be enough? If not, should she send me the signed letter from the bank too?

She had a typo from what she has in the bank and put a period where there should be a comma (example 77.679, rather than 77,679) would that require her to completely fill out and re-notarize the I-134? Or are they not exactly the most robotic bureaucrats but actually have some logic, reasoning and humanity left there at the embassy?

Part 3:

In your experience, do you think what I have should be enough already? Should Elaine offer both affidavits up front or wait for them to ask for a co-sponsor? In other words am I sounding too paranoid?

Any helpers out there? I have read everything I could. I just want to make sure I am on the right track.

Hi: just a note about 2005. do you have income from 2005 that is 125% of the poverty line for your family size including fiance? There is another VJer who makes the required income now (2006) but didn't for 2005 and needed a co-sponsor. She hadn't yet filed taxes for 2006.

Each I-134 needs two forms of supporting evidence, so your mom would need those.

The consulate in Manila does not accept cosponsors for K1 visas.

The consulate in Manila does not accept cosponsors for K1 visas.

How come?

What about for K3 and K4 visas?

Oh no :-(

Hi... I thought I just saw someone here who recently get approved in Manila with a K visa. Also its my understanding that they will accept a co-sponsor if you are employed but not of you are not. They want to know that you can support the both of you once you are together.

Better wait for more advice...... its slow here on the weekend so be patient.....

Thanks! I also came across one of the forum entries - I can't remember whose though :-P

They said that an immigration officer in the US Embassy in Manila accepts co-sponsor for the K3 visa, but not for the K1.

K1 visa using co-sponsors will be denied... I wonder.

Perhaps being married changes the whole scenario?

Our consulate was Romania..

I had..

My 1040 showed less then the 100% (13,200) because of school part of the year and my trips to moldova

My current wage stubs with the new job since Sept. Show I make over $30,000 a year..

My Bank account showed I had $350 in it when I got the bank letter..and the letter stated my deposits since opening the account in July has been around $8,000

My Company Letter also stated I make over $30,000 a year..

I didn't use a Co-Sponser...and we were approved..

I think they look at more of your current and future earnings..and permancy of your Job..Remember this is about your SO not becoming a burden on the State..

I did include a explanation letter of why I didn't make on the 1040 over the $13200 and How they Do my pay and rent.. as my Job includes a Apt. So gross and taxable income is different..

I really feel the Interview is the easyist part of the complete Journey.. Just make sure you have plenty of Proof of on-going relationship...Visited...and income....
