I-129F July 2016 Filers

[Allison/Robert 43]

Hey July filers, I got to Ethiopia on Thursday, October 20, in time to prepare for my fiancée's visa interview. The network is currently shut down and the only way to use internet is paid wifi at some hotels. I am happy to report that she was interview this afternoon and she was APPROVED!!! I can now sleep? Will be here till second week of December as she has to finalize her national service with the government in November and get her medical license and other documentations. World of advice is stick to what you know about your U.S. Petitioner as some consular officers love to say things that may not be correct and watch to see if you agree with them (example- your fiancé has a child right? And when you say "No", they say, Are you sure?) Well,I wish you all thesame joy I am feeling now. Thanks for all the support here. Will catch up when I have Internet access. Date at POE- 12/09; Wedding - 1717 ?

Congratulations!!!!

Hi

Can someone please clarify the I-134 form affidavit of support

My fiancé has a co sponsor and they have a total of 3 in their household.

The figure needed to qualify for the poverty line is $25,200 which is 125%

It just seems high because if it's a single person as a co sponsor they need to earn $8,400

Can someone clarify as the more I read the more confusing it gets

Thank you in advance

If you have a co-sponsor for the Affidavit of Support that means together you would need to make $26,000 or more per year. That would be an equal $13,000 each per year or any other kind of split.

Honestly, for a single person this breaks down to about $13 an hour at a normal 40 hours a week.

Congratulations!!! !!

And 5 days for the visa to arrive, nice! Did you get the email where you had to specify what time they would drop it off, or did it just get dropped off by the courier with no email-scheduling?

I wish him a safe trip and both of you a wonderful future ahead!

Thank you!

11 days from interview.

We got an email with the tracking number yesterday.

It was scheduled already, but we 'rescheduled' just in case.

Also, they didn't ask for ID... lol.

Thank you so much Kat!!!

The embassy either emails or mails a notice to your fiance with next steps. If you don't receive it you can still do everything you need to do with having the case number in hand. Follow the below links and steps to get rolling on your interview and medical. (Make sure you have your police certificates BEFORE your medical, they check these for drug problems)

Your beneficiary will fill out the DS 160. The information can be found here on the embassy's website below.

https://uk.usembassy.gov/visas/fiancee-2/applying-for-the-visa/

All the info on scheduling the medical including the cost and how to schedule the medical is on this link:

https://uk.usembassy.gov/visas/fiancee-2/medical-examination/

This is the link you follow in order to fill out the DS 160 that is used for all K-1 Visa applicants

https://ceac.state.gov/genniv/ (From the drop down select England, London. I have no idea why this is the ONLY part that doesn't reference the UK in the process)

This is the link to the applicant readiness form which is filled out after you schedule your medical and after you fill out the DS 160.

https://uk.usembassy.gov/visas/family-immigration/notification-of-applicant-readiness-form/

Your beneficiary uses the link below to schedule their interview after the above 4 things are done

https://ais.usvisa-info.com/en-gb/iv

The link above is where you will also pay the $265 fee for the visa itself once you schedule your interview. It should also forward you to the courier website after you pay your fee and schedule your interview. Thankfully its a one stop shop kind of link!

This is ALL UK specific!

We have been approved! The visa should be in hand in a few days. I have been stuck at work so I havent been able to keep up with the posts as much as I would've liked. I appreciate the support and generosity of information you've all shared here. I hope we all get through this together, despite any setbacks.

Congrats Tieary, HabeshaLove and Laurel!!!

If it's one thing I know as an American is that most government employees will do the bare minimum. This is why we have to be proactive like calling the NVC, checking to see if your visa has arrived. Not so much out of impatience but to prepare us to deal with the dreaded social security office, DMV, etc, later on, lol. Well done on that, Laurel. I'm relieved you guys got the visa in hand!

Good luck to everyone!!!

Next for us is trying to find out the fastest way to get an Employment authorization document and advanced parole (EAD and AP) after he enters and we marry.
