Sacking An Immigration Attorney

It's all been said above but no harm repeating it :-)

You can (from my and other's experience) self sponsor at the London Embassy. My tips are have a clear statement explaining assets and provide supporting documentation. Make it easy for them - always a good idea when doing this process. It's been stated on VJ and I'd agree , that the US Embassy wants to be clear that you can survive K1 -> AOS and have sufficient funds for that. What that figure is - well that's anyone's guess but my logic is that if it looks like say six months cash then it's going to be easy .

It did take a completed AoS from my fiance but only because like everyone else I thought - well it can't do any harm... They never looked at it. I just said I was going to self sponsor and here was a statement of my assets. Easy peasy.

Thank you for the information. I really appreciate it.

I don't suppose you could confirm the format in which you put your statement of assets together? I will obviously be taking my bank statement showing all the consolidated funds in one account but I was wondering how to 'list' my other assets.

Best regards

In my case I was listing current account cash and the expected proceeds from my house sale - my affairs are not that complicated sadly. I had a letter confirming the house valuation together with confirmation it was under offer from the estate agent (on their letterhead) together with mortgage statements so I could show the likely equity available on sale. The bank statement was just a quickie that the bank printed out for me the day before. I even boosted that with a quick er loan from my mother :-)

In the end they just took and copied the bank statement and that was it.

But - like I said I prepared a short letter explaining that I was self sponsoring which included the summary of assets.

They were really only interested in confirming that I could survive until the AOS interview i.e pass the buck to the next IO in line if you'll forgive the pun. That said at my AOS interview they passed the buck to who does the ROC interview.

Good news...There is no affidavit of support for removing conditions. The buck stops at adjustment of status. The only reason for financial statements from you going forward is to show you have some joint accounts and co-mingle your money with your spouse.
