April 2018 NOA2 ----> NVC

[Mr & Mr 101]

Anyway its a bit confusing. For example, i've got police certificate from Ukraine (resident but dont live there) in sept 2017. Then i went there for a week in march 2018 to visit family. That means i need new one or i can stay with old one?

Persusing through the Travel.State.Gov website now that it was mentioned above and I noticed that the beneficiary can provide their own financial support in lieu (?) of the petitioner filing a I134. (I didn't know that)

 

1) Would I be correct in thinking that it would be preferred to have the petitioner be a financial sponsor to "prove relationship" over the beneficiary supporting themself?

2) How would the beneficiary prove their own financial stability? Do you think a bank statement with a substantial amount of funds would qualify? A savings of more than or equal to the annual income required by the I134...would that suffice?

 

Reason I'm asking is that the I134 seems like alot of work if the beneficiary has more than adequate funds in the bank....

Thoughts/advice?

Are you going through the Montreal Consulate?

Me too! We are in the same situation. The Mtl consulate still requires a complete I134 and supporting documents. For us, we had him fill out all the required documents, include tax receipts, etc. We are going to include my bank statements, tax receipts, RRSP info, etc as well . After all, it won't hurt to show there is some sort of financial safety net already in place (sidenote, did you know you can keep your RRSPs in Canada as long as you are a Canadian citizen? My IA told me that) Not bad, eh?

You need a new one. If you hadn't gone back it would be ok but you returned after a police certificate was granted. Think of it sort of like this... if you got a police report and left, the officials would say "he/she was here during this time and didn't commit any crimes, etc' but if you went back in March 2018,  they can't really comment on that...because the old certificate doesn't include that time .  ☺️You can always call your consulate as well for futher clarification. After all, they have the ultimate say. 😊

Did anyone else try to call NVC today (or maybe already 4 times haha) and didn't get through ? First time that happened to me .... Is that normal on Mondays?

Do you have a link that goes into detail about what supporting documentation is sufficient for the I134 specifically for Montreal? 

I found the PDF for Montreal on Travel.State.Gov (which the links don't work of course on the PDF) and of course the Montreal checklist on the consulate website (which is archaic btw) but nothing really goes into detail. 

Any suggestions @J❤️J?

Hi! I just have this for now.https://www.uscis.gov/i-134 There's probably more specific guidelines in Packet3 & 4 from Mtl but I haven't received those yet . Hope this helps 😊

Yes I've been through their instructions too. 

Reason why I ask is I'm going to visit him soon and I was hoping to carry back the filled out I134, original intent to marry, his original Birth Certificate and Divorce Decree.

It's a scary thought to send them in the mail.

Me! First 5 attempts I got either "the number you're calling from has been associated with hight volume calling" or "All or representatives are busy try again later". I just got through however, and I'm currently on hold!

I have no clue if we are on the same system... mine doesn’t have any connection with payment I just submitted it and all the payment and interviews were on a whole different website.
