Yes she has

Then just get your daughter US passport and that's it (when traveling internationally everyone needs a valid passport regardless of age.)

Do the affidavit of support documents have to be sent to the embassy directly or to our fiancee? Maybe it's embassy dependent? I read about both on here

To your fiancée, this visa process is her process now

Yeah I guess I am just confused... because I work at a law firm and I don't necessarily work with immigration, but I have attorneys here who have some experience with immigration and they said the i-134f and all supporting documents for that are not needed until the "adjustment to status/green card" interview...they said it's not necessary at the interview he has with the embassy to receive the visa to marry me. But I don't want to take their word for it.

 

Also I make $30,000 a year as the petitioner (0 dependents - it would just be me and my fiance) - do I still need a sponsor?

 

***Sorry I said i-129F in an earlier post, I meant i-134f

yes that's enough.

 

do not take their word....

 

a lawyer should not ever open their mouth without being sure about something. Doesn't even matter if it's their case or not.

My fiance and I are both very frustrated, we both continue to check USCIS and I continue to check the mail in the hopes of receiving our NOA2.  Our NOA1 date was August 3rd, I notice there are many recipients with a later date than ours who have already received their NOA2 but I also notice there are many NOA1 filers before me with no additional info posted in VJ.  I would like to hear something but I don't want to complain and rock the boat with the USCIS by inquiring and causing a red flag by possibly being a complainer and making it more difficult for us to be together.  I have been in Law Enforcement for over 30 years so there isn't much to check on me; I would like to hear something even if it is an RFE.  VJ said after February 18th I should consider contacting USCIS; give us your thoughts, how much longer should we wait before I try to contact USCIS?  Any and all recommendations and comments are welcome!!!!

Thanks,

Phil & Maricris

it is normal for people who are later than you to get approval, that's not to worry you.

 

this process doesnt go in an order. Every case is different. Some easier, some harder.

 

complaining is not a red flag. Not calling or putting inquiries but officially you are wishing processing times, so I don't know if they will take it seriously.

 

 

theyre working really strong these days. So maybe at least waiting till you see September 1 in their website may be good. As calling doesn't really change the process but just give you information (which you lost likely already have)

I wrote up a long reply here and lost it. =__= So excuse the brevity below.

my fiance have a child support but the custody is under her ex wife. In his w2, there was NO dependent written, meaning single. Should He still place His daughter as partially dependent on him because of his child custody??? This is my question. Thanks for answering in advance☺️

I think according to item 4 he doesn't have to mention.

I'm confused if this is the petitioner or beneficairy's child again... I'm going to assume it's the petitioner's child given the reference to their W-2. If instead you are referring to the beneficiary's child and they are not seeking a visa, they are not counted in the I-134 at all.

 

item #4 says "Enter the number of unmarried children you have who are under 21 years of age, even if you do not have legal custody of these children.". There's an exception for minor children living abroad not declared as a dependent on taxes who have reached the age of majority there, but that's a pretty rare case.

As such, I would say "partially dependent" would probably be most appropriate for a minor biological child where you are not currently providing the direct care for them. The CO will look at the totality of the circumstances to make a decision anyway, so I wouldn't worry too much on how to list them.

Some embassies are more strict than others for an I-134, and others don't even regularly request one. But you should still have it anyway (and most do request it). A copy of the I-129F packet isn't required at all, but is good in case any papers got lost along the way.

 

It depends on the totality of the circumstances as determined by the CO, but generally that should be perfectly fine.

[Naes 12,205]

Thank you @geowrian It's the petitioners child.

 

i misunderstood the item 4 then. Then the child should be included.

 

but is it partially or fully? Because the custody is with the mother and he is only paying child support.

Edited February 23, 2018 by Naes

[Grant PDX 183]

You still count the child.  With child support they are definitely financially dependent.

@Naes When you get approved it’s going to be a visa journey holiday 🙏

Believe me if I didn't see the numbers going in front of my eyes I would be debating if it is the received date or notice date still  

 

so far an extremely happy day!

 

moving forward and moving forward with a good number of approvals!!!

I just called and was a bit firm that I wanted to speak with a Tier 2 representative. Told him I called multiple times this week, didn't get the help I need, and the issue needed to be escalated so they forwarded me to a Tier II. 124 minute wait time for a call back... waiting! Just want to know if my case has been touched or not.

I called today as well wait time was past 200 still waiting on call back
