[TBoneTX 45,855]

The badgering of the OP stops now.

Restrict answers to her specific questions.

[Villanelle 4,122]

Well...she hasnt posted any questions except if cursing at the rep will be held against her (asked and answered)

 

 Multiple users have offered multiple times to help her with whatever it was she was trying to ask NVC- but I guess she doesnt need the help anymore.

I do have some question I am not sure it is okay to ask here or make a new topic. 

 

I know you do not have to give property proof if I meet the poverty guideline. I make way more than enough according to the newest USCIS guideline . However, if you were me would put the properties proof, stock, bonds, networth, bank account ect in the mix also. I still make payments on the 2 houses that I have, so realistically I dont own any property. I dont want to open that can of worm. Yes I do have some decent size saving but still it is not enough to cover the amount I owe the banks for the 2 houses. 

 

Q: have you ever been denied visa? 

6 years ago my mother visa had been denied because she forgot the date and never made it to the interview. When I answer YES, the reason box pop out, should I just write "forget to make it to the interview" ? Is that too weird/silly?!

 

Q: have you ever been in the military?

My mother was a major in the Army of Republic of Vietnam which is no longer exist after 1975 (Vietnam war), we move to Japan in 1976 and never come back. Since then we moved to 2 others countries. My mother only have a dog tag, 1 piece of paper that have her military ID on it and a few photos of her in army uniform. Is it very important to answer super truthful about this matter. Since the Republic Army is no longer exist. I think the answer NO would be much easier. Im not sure.

The answer would be YES.

 

The question asks have you "ever"....she has.  Whether the Republic Army still exists now is irrelevant to the question.  Like you said, you have to be truthful.

Depends on the totality of the circumstances. I also earn considerably above the poverty and I did not include any assets without any issues.

If somebody is borderline then adding in assets as well may be helpful.

When you fill out the 864 you can include any assets you want them to consider (and you need to attach proof of the assets). You are not required to list your assets. If you make significantly more then the guidelines you dont need to list assets.

What visa was your mom denied for?  did not show for interview because she forgot is a valid reason. Did she attempt to reschedule or just left it alone?

Easy answers are not the same as correct/honest answers. You have to answer honestly.

 

Based on your questions (esp asking if you can omit the military service cause its easier- ) I can understand why the phone rep was unable to help you and things turned nasty. Hope you have all the answers you need now!  If you need more help please post again. Good luck with your process- hope it goes smoothly and quickly.

Hi thanks for all the answer. They are very helpful.  

My mom's denied visa was a tourist visa. She just left it alone because I came back to visit her that summer. 

 

When you talk about "significant", how much is significan more. Twice, 3 times the amount of the guiline?! Like I said. I have houses that I still paying. Does it count as assets or count as loan I still owe the bank?! 

 

Once more question. My mother is 71 and want to retire in the state. If I answer that does it hurt the outcome of the case? You know, to "sponsor someone that unable to work"

Net value of any assets...i.e. a property can count, but only the value of it above the amount of any mortgage or liens against it.

 

Minimum is 5x the income level...i.e. $5 in assets= $1 in income.

That's fine, but you need to be able to show that she will not become a public charge. Typically this means being able to ensure her basic needs and medical costs are covered. The biggest item is health insurance...this is going to cost quite a bit...I suggest start searching now.

Regarding my mother retirement.  can I put in the fact that she will bring cash to the state?! Let say the amount is in 6 figures buy a little bit less than 7 figures. Thats is her entire saving and assets. Will that be enough. Or the money have to be on my ends?!

The intending immigrant's (your mother's) assets can be included in the household assets on the I-864. So, yes.

Well, thank you everyone for yours help. I think I get everything on the file cover for now. I will make my request to close this topic now.
