Interview on 14th...a couple questions for VJ.

[bgreen19 2]

Hi VJ family-

My wife and I will have our interview on this Thursday the 14th. We have 2 areas of concern.

1.) Financial. Last year I was in school so I had a low income. However I did receive VA disability over the 125% limit and have documented it with bank statements and letters from the VA confirming my disability rating as others have suggested. I now have had my job for 11 months and have made over 40k in salary and about 19k in disability. We're just hoping that's enough for the consulate officer and that last years taxes being low won't hurt us.

2.) I have had some criminal arrests in the past. One underage drinking, 2 disorderly conducts (paid fines), and an assault 4 that was put on deferred sentencing and later dismissed after meeting the criteria the court set forth. We disclosed all of this along with the final dispositions in the initial I-130 and my wife knows about each case. Will the consulate officer bring this up and if so what type of questions would they ask her about this??

I will be accompanying my wife to the interview. Thanks for any and all help!!!!

green,

1.looks like your above the 125% but just to be sure, bring copies of your 1040's, W2's and back statements just in case they might want to see it.

2. for you criminal history, your misconducts in the past might not be a factor. However, I do hope your assault does not involved women and children as they fall under IMBRA and Adam Walsh. Even you've already told your history to your wife, they may still disclose those information if they wish as it mandated by law (most especially for those K applicants).Also, since you've mentioned that you've indicated your history during your I-130 application, USCIS might have already ran some checks on you. The mere fact that they've approved your application is enough that your past history did not violate those IMBRA and Adam Walsh issues. However, CO might still asked those so just be prepared.

Hi-

Thank you for your advice:) I will bring the 1040 from last year (although it doesn't meet the requirement). Yes, the "assault" charge was with an ex gf, however there are many circumstances around that and the case was eventually dismissed. Still not a proud moment in my life. IMBRA doesn't cover CR1 visas as we are already married like you mentioned. So I guess we'll just be prepared for questions about it.
