Hey everyone! I hope everyone is having good luck. My fiancé went for his interview Monday January 27th, at the Algiers embassy. My fiancé said the woman was so nice and was laughing and joking with him, but at the end he said she told her "you are approved but you need to get these documents before we will issue the visa" she handed him a 221g that states we need to provide proof of my co-sponsor's "CLAIMED INCOME" what the hell is that? I sent them every paper that had to do with income. My mom receives a steady income it is Social Security and a pension and receives well over the amount needed for the poverty guidelines. Does anyone know what this means? They took his passport. I sent them her 1099s for this year....I emailed them to ask them and have gotten no response. I am so confused and don't know what "claimed income is to them" When I sent my mothers previous taxes I sent EVERYTHING the account gave us. What she claimed, who she claims etc. Please someone help. I just want to get them the right paperwork and not delay it any longer then it has to be. I love him and just miss him so much! =(

Thank you in advance! Good luck to everyone =)

Claimed Income is whatever income your co-sponsor Mentioned on I-864 form. Regardless you attached the proofs already but at this point they are asking for proofs and certainly you don't want to tell them you already did. Better way to handle would be to get 'Benefit Verification Letter' from SSA or any which can accomplish the steady income and same with the Pension to establish steady income like most recent 'Pension Credit award'. Hope this will help and you will see more VJrs with other opinions !!!!!! Good Luck!

Because you are beginning the K1, you have not yet submitted the I-864; that comes later during AOS. Instead you must use the I-134 for both yourself and your co-sponsor (aka joint sponsor). Any claim of income, whether by you or your co-sponsor must be validated with W2, bank statements, paycheck stubs, and/or tax returns. This is the proof you need and you need to get these and present them.

Thank you for getting back to me both of you. I am so upset and at a loss. I know i sent them in letters from social security and my moms pension, a letter from the bank saying it was opened, when it was opened and that it is in good standing with how much was in all 3 accounts, i also sent both tax return packets with the 1099s from 2012 and 2011. My mom doesn't work so there will be no paid stubs. Other than that I sent everything you mentioned. So when she asked for this again, I sent her this years 1099 for both SS and her Pension and a letter that my mom will getting a cost of living increase from social security. Could the CO have possibly missed what I sent? Could she have made a mistake? I emailed them to ask what they were looking for but they have not answered. Thank you again so much!!
