Consulate asking for new affidavit of support

[Aspen7 10]

My fiance had his interview on January 2nd. The consulate was Kelly Lang. She asked for more proof of on going contact between us over the past two years we've known each other. I have that together. The other thing she wants is a new affidavit of support, using my 2013 taxes (I'm self employed) and if possible, a second sponsor. My brother will do that for us. Here we are on the 27th, twenty-five days after the interview, waiting....waiting...waiting for both of our 1099s for 2013! I'm becoming very concerned over how long it's been since the interview. My fiance' thinks we should send both the proof of on going contact and the affidavits at the same time in one email. I'm thinking it may be best if I send the requested proof of contact to the consulate, with an explanation that we're still waiting for our 1099s. My worry is that we're waiting much too long to provide what the consulate requested.

Hey, my fiancé went today for his interview. He said they told him you are approved and took his visa, but they are looking for proof of my cosponsors claimed $36,000 what the hell does that mean? I sent them 4 years worth of taxes. How else do you prove your claimed income. I don't know maybe you can help me. are the looking for 2013 W2's? I hope everything works out for you! this is too nerve racking. My stomach is in knots.

I think 4 years of taxes should be more than enough! If there's a savings and/or checking account, give them proof of that. If there's no accounts, you could try to find a new sponsor to back up your current sponsor.

To back up the income I'm reporting on my taxes, I'm including copies of 1099 (when it finally arrives), receipts from clients who paid cash, receipts from craft sales, etc.

I just don't understand what claimed income is. I was always taught that was income taxes. Everything was sent in though taxes and all my moms financial information, bank account statements. i'm so confused.

Since you sent supporting evidence to back up the taxes, I don't know what else they could be asking for. That is so strange

You sent W2? The consulate asked me to specifically send taxes WITH a W2 to show where the income information came from on the tax returns.

I sent my moms w2s plus i sent the entire packets you get back from the accountant when you file. Everything down to the guys title pages explaining who he is and his phone number. I sent 3 years worth, I checked yesterday. I filed in August of 2013 it made it to the embassy in November. I sent what I had. The poverty level is $25,000 maybe a few hundred more for a family of 4 between my moms pension and social security she makes $38,600 after taxes she has $26,200 but she gets the $2,400 back. I am so upset because they do not clearly state what they want. I just don't get it. I sent them the w2s for this year. They acknowledged they got it but who knows how long it will take to be reviewed. =( I hope you have better luck then us. Good luck with everything.
