I134 or not

[Laura and Ferlay 1]

Hello Vjers, as I have mentioned, the embassy has finally asked for my w2's. Ferlay has submitted it and they say they will put it in his files and the consular officer will look at it later. I have a question and concern; question: What is the average amount of time does it take from this point forward? Is it going to be 5 months again? Now, my concern...in 2011, I made about 3000 less the required amount because I was in between jobs, but for 2012...I made over double that? Would they count that against me? I gave them my 2011&2012 w2

As long as your current income is above the level, you should be fine.

about a month or so, really shouldn't take longer than that.

They won't count that against you! I hear that once the requested documents are sent out to the Embassy, it usually takes 3-4 weeks! Not too long!

I'm glad things are moving forward for you. Your 2011 income shouldn't count against you, however mine did. Granted, I had just started a new job when I completed the I-134 in August 2012. Still, my annual salary is almost 4x the minimum for a two person household and I had to get a co-sponsor. (I worked in Haiti in 2011, and earned very little, but enough to live comfortably because the cost of living is different than in the US. But that didn't matter.) You just never know with the Haitian Embassy. I don't tell you that to add to your stress, but so you can have someone in mind and lined-up as a co-sponsor just in case.

Good luck!!! Hoping for a positive resolution soon!

Thanks Selavi, I started the new job at the end of December of '11 so my whole 2012 income is based on that. Hopefully they wont say anything, but my mother and father said they would be a co sponsor. Another question? Do I give them both,or just my mom's? My Mom is petitioning for my auntie, but that can take years...Would they equate that as an extra person? Ugh..I just want this to be ooovvverrrrr. My wedding is planned for August 10th...so hopefully everything can be situated by then

With a full year of income above the poverty line, you should be okay. If you need a co-sponsor and your mom does it, then I believe she'd add your aunt to her household size. Or it may even ask on the form if your co-sponsor is sponsoring anyone else (it's definitely on the I-864 for AOS).

Stay positive. I have a feeling we'll be hearing some good news from you before too long.
