There's so much information I've read... Hard to  know what is "official" and what is not!!  I'm visiting my fiance next week and I've made it my job to use the plane ride down to go through the copious amounts of screen shots I have from here with advice and get it better organised in preparation for the next step.  

That's a really good idea. Happy travels and have an amazing time with the fiance! I'm so happy you get to see each other soon. Hug your fiance extra tight for me :))

So I posted this on another thread that had nothing to do with us March filers... Woooo... Too much on the brain and doing too many things at once. Never a good mix..

 

 

aannyyywaaayy....

 

Good afternoon my fellow March Anonymous Complainers!

 

Just wanted to update y'all... Since they are starting to touch Feb cases, I will start posting the March scans around 5/1. I'm almost finished scanning all of March petitions and then have to do a couple more things to get it looking nice and able to post the results like akesangel does. I'm also waiting for her to get back from her vacation to make sure I'm doing everything correctly.

 

Also, I'll probably start off with a weekly scan every Monday until they start touching March petitions and then I'll move into daily posts. Does that sound okay with everyone?

That sounds amazing. Thank you so much for taking this on for us March filers! 

The Dalai Lama, when asked what surprised him most about humanity, answered "Man.... Because he sacrifices his health in order to make money. Then he sacrifices money to recuperate his health. And then he is so anxious about the future that he does not enjoy the present; the result being that he does not live in the present or the future; he lives as if he is never going to die, and then dies having never really lived."

You should be good with the bank statements, as long as the letter from the bank is dated closer to the interview date. The G-325A may be cause for concern, but then again maybe not since you have a co-sponsor. I guess you'll just have to wait and see what happens and if the Australia isn't a high fraud then you may be able to get away with it.

Letter from the bank? I am not sure what that is. 
I know on VisaJourney it says you need, 

 

You will need several items (for the above form). Gather duplicate evidence of income and resources as appropriate: 

(A) Statement from an officer of the bank/financial institution with your deposits, identifying the following:

1. date account opened; 2. total amount deposited for the past year; 3. present balance"
 

I have a paper that shows the date that the account was opened. It has the bank letterhead and then says "To Whom It May Concern, _______ Account Number Ending In: XXXX, WAS OPENED ON 11/5/2003." and the same goes for me, the petitioner. There isn't a signature or anything like that though, or anything that I would classify as a letter. Also, I have another paper that says the present balance. Then, they gave me like a book of statements from the entire year. But I don't have a letter from the bank or anything. I didn't know there was supposed to be a letter. :( We have both of our bank statements, just not this letter because I didn't see it say anywhere that there had to be a letter written by the bank. 

 

 

Also, Australia is a low-fraud country. :) And yes, I have a co-sponsor. I am hoping this won't be an issue. Because currently I (the petitioner), only get money through whatever I sell on my Etsy account. So I don't have stable income because I'm in college full-time. I just do that for some extra cash.

That is really nice of you to take on!! All of you that run the scans just help give us some little something to look forward to during this wait!  Even though I have a Feb received date I feel like I belong more with the March filers. Y'all help keep me grounded!

Sorry, haha, I suspect I may be autistic so I confuse stuff! 

 

Thanks again!

I read somewhere that bank statements shouldn't be collected until I receive my NOA2. But I really just rather collect stuff that I could while I can. Like that and the police report. It's better to be on top of stuff, right? :)
