Co-sponsor & NOA2 question.

[Niels Bohr 72]

GOOD LUCK!!!

My recommendation is to have your father be the sponsor.

[Nagishkaw 510]

Do you even bother to read what the OP has wrote ?

[Niels Bohr 72]

Yes, I read it.

They will be suspicious of course. But, in order to be a valid sponsor they would need to review the previous year tax transcript and see if the gross income exceeds the Federal Poverty Guidelines.

We joke about how much easier this would be if he were an illegal immigrant from Mexico, but...argghhhhh.

Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight.

Not a cool thing to say.

Meh. It's a joke to me, but I apologize. I work in an ER that serves mostly the lower-class and homeless; I should have realized that the sense of humor that myself and my coworkers use to deal with the every-day stresses of our jobs is probably not pertinent to most of the population.

"Lower class"?

Frankly, darling, you do sound rather like the rest of the population when it comes to the matter of "illegal immigration".

Yes, I read it.

Please read the instructions for the I134 (the document a sponsor of a K1 non immigrant needs to produce at most consulates) and show me where it says the previous years tax return must be produced as evidence.

Please read the instructions and show me a reference to the Federal Poverty Guidelines.

Rebbecajo,

I hope you realized that they need to see proof of income from the previous year exceeding the federal poverty guidelines to be a sponsor. What better proof if you have the tax transcript? And, isn't it true that it needs to be notarized too? Doesn't the tax transcript hit two birds with one stone? Are you implying to me that the OP is stupid enough not to realize that?

I'm implying nothing. I'm TELLING you that the instructions for the I134 don't require the last year tax return for proof of income and I'm also telling you that the Federal Poverty Guidelines have nothing to do with it.

consolemaster,

You are on the right track when you suggest that a consulate will likely want to see a past income tax return or 3, but it is not because it's necessary for past income to have exceded the federal poverty level.

It is necessary that current income excede the federal povery level. (Maybe not necessary if there are sufficient assets that could be liquidated, but 'sufficient assets' is not defined for non-immigrants as it is for immigrants.)

lol, I like that one!

Hannah, which post are you going to?

If Vancouver, do they even require an I-134?

"Lower class"?

Frankly, darling, you do sound rather like the rest of the population when it comes to the matter of "illegal immigration".

You take offense at lower class? What politically correct term do I use, then? Economically disadvantaged?

I have a work mind set and a political mind set. The two are dynamically opposite yet both exist simultaneously in my mind. That's the closest thing that I can get to an explanation without making excuses.

Calgary. I hadn't even thought about that at all. Maybe I'll make the boy call them on Monday...

Check with the Canadian forum to see which one of the two interviewing Consulates you will use.

It will be either Vancouver BC or Montreal.

Aah. See? I look stupider by the second. This is what I get for expecting my fiance to handle the Canadian side of things.
