Dear all, I really need some advice right now, as I’m truly confused and quite frustrated.

We’ve got our I-130 approved on March 26, after a long wait of 9 months and NVC received our case on April 11. When my husband did his tax return on January 2014, he told me that he was going to file for one of his nieces as he has been helping her monthly with some money. The little girl doesn’t live with him though. At that moment, I honestly didn’t realize that it was going to be a problem for us in the future. It’s me who is more involved with the forums and more details focused. He helps with the proceedings but it’s me who always do all the research and all. When we ordered the tax transcript for 2013, I’ve noticed that they had put that the baby lived with him. Long story short, with that niece as his dependant, he doesn’t meet the minimum requirement of 125% of the Poverty Guideline to support me (We would be 3). It’s quite sad because if he hadn’t filed for her, we would be perfect. But what’s done it’s done. I know that we will find a solution, but it really frustrated me when I’ve realized that we had to find another alternative.

What I would like to ask is if it’s better to just find a joint sponsor. (Not sure if anyone in his family is willing to help with this. He hasn’t asked yet) or to complete the difference between his income on 2013 and the Poverty line that we should meet (3) with our assets. The assets would be mostly the balance of our joint account in the USA and my personal account in Argentina. I think that adding those will help to meet the difference that they request. I know we have to meet the ratio 5:1 for that difference.

Not sure what’s simpler and less stressful. I haven’t researched yet about adding my personal account balance and what evidence I need to send about it. I live in Argentina and there is still a lot of governmental control over exchanging any foreign currency, especially dollars They can think that the money is in my account but it will be a problem to exchange it to dollars and take it or transfer it to the USA. What do you guys suggest please? Thank you very very much in advance.

Hi Folks -

I get the following "case termination" message when I try to login to pay the AOS fees using the link below:

https://ceac.state.gov/CTRAC/Invoice/signon.aspx

"This case in in the process of termination. Fee payments and online forms can no longer be accepted. If you believe you have received this message in error, or to resume processing of the case, please contact the NVC immediately."

I received my case number few days ago.

Is this usual? I am freaking out!

Thanks.

If he can find a joint sponsor who is willing to provide everything requested it might be easier.

If you want to go with including assets instead this link can be helpful in figuring out what evidence of assets is needed. http://www.***removed***/affidavit-of-support/using-assets-meet-income-requirements.html

I would also suggest you check with your country about how much money you can take or transfer to USD.

hello all of friends

i sent my iv package on april 15 and it deliver on april 16 by USPS over night.

i called friday to NVC and they said they don't receive yet.

i called again and still not yet.

so they take long like that or it is possible that they might lost my civil package ?

i am afraid my original document will lost and going to delay my parents process.

You could possibly have him ammend his taxes and change his claims? (double check this by calling a tax person in your state)

Thank you for the suggestion Imathomeostasis. I will call and ask them to be sure.

Finally an update =)!! First of all, congratulations to STACEY&MISHO and Mahvika on your case completes!!

After a draining 13 months we received our case complete on 4/18!! We are so thrilled! It's one giant step closer.

So happy to have found VJ while trying to find others like me waiting forever for NOA2. Thank you to everyone and wishing that each of you receives your CC in no time at all!

The "current individual annual income" on part 6 line 5 of the I864 is a bit tricky: Should this be inclusive or exclusive of any 401(k) deferral contributions for the current tax year? I ask because the "total income" figures on line 13 are exclusive of 401(k) contributions and therefore lower than my actual total individual income for those years.

What about any expected bonus, dividends, or capital gains for the year? Should any of that be included here or not?
