DCF London - filling in an i-864 with job offer

[killercat 2]

Hi Everyone,

I'm so glad that I found this site as the visa journey seems to be a complete minefield! Thanks to everyone in advance for your help.

My question is two-fold -

1. I sent the application for the i-130 by DCF with the US embassy in London on the 18th March and the money debited my account on the 24th March, but I haven't received any notification. I tried e-mailing them, but the embassy has not responded. Should I be worried or can I just look at the timeline on the embassy website by looking at the 24th March date?

2. I (the USC) have accepted a job offer in the States and I will start on 3rd August. I have filed my taxes for the previous years, but as I was and am currently employed in the UK I understand that I cannot use that. I will be employed in the UK until July when I will be leaving for my new job. The new offer more than fulfils the funding requirement, but I live in hope that my husband will have his interview before I will get a payslip, and hopefully before I leave so that he can come with me. Will a letter from my employer or copy of the contract suffice for the i-864? Unfortunately, due to a number of different reasons, a co-sponsor is not an option.

Thanks for all of your help!

Pay slip or co sponsor.

You should be able to delay the interview until you can comply, not sure how long you get with a RFE.

I was afraid that might be the case..... Thanks

Well, I'm not sure if anyone was looking at this, but I sent an e-mail to the USCIS in London and they got back to me straight away with a copy of the receipt! Considering the sheer run-around I got when I tried to call through, I was surprised at their efficiency!

Hi, I just thought I'd let everyone know,my husband had his interview today and we did NOT have a co-sponsor, just my (USC) job offer letter and it was approved! We were so worried for nothing!

Well done! That's a good data point, too, so thank you for returning and updating us all!
