Evidence requirements for I-134 for Manila.

[zethris 0]

I just moved from Las Vegas to Pennsylvania (which is why I am using the Vermont service center now!) So the speed of the service center is reknowned, but even though thats sounds exciting, it also puts a bit of worry on myself. Moving to Pennsylvania was in order to get a new job were the one I had in Las Vegas didn't work out previously and I began to sell Hot Sauce (of my own making and bottling) on the side and went to school until I could hopfully find a better job somewhere.

Well I have been working now since January 9th 2006.

In the experience of those who are applying for a K1 visa between the USA and Philippines, what evidence do they usually want with the I-134? I have a new bank account, but it is still a bank account. I can have probably about 6 months worth of pay stubs, and I can get a letter from my work place certifying my employment and salary which is more than twice the poverty rating they require. Will this be enough? I don't really have anyone I could use to co-sponsor.

Also, Might I run into problems in the future if I have't had to file for Taxes for the last 2 years previously due to low income, and being a student?

What's your income now?

Because it's a new job, the first 3 months it's 27,500. But I am just about to go to 28,000 in april, and then 2 months after I am elligible to get an further increase to 30,000 if I am able to meet and exceed standards. Then I am at 30,000 for 1 year and can go up to 35,000 on the next review October 2007

It's a really good job that has great potential for a good foundation to support my new family. Thats why I took it.

If it's just the two of you, you already have the minimum income required.

I am not worried as much about income right now, as much as I am for the time I have had this job, been at this address, and had my bank account.

I think that will depend of the consulate, supposedly just by the fact you can sponsor for her should be enough, no matter if you're changing jobs or whatever, I do know you're not supposed to lie about your current situation, so the usual advice is if in doubt, get a co-sponsor, and if she's questioned at the interview, she can show the form for the co-sponsor.

Yeah, thats just it I really need to know what to expect to make sure I have what I need to meet the Standards for Manila. I have no one to use as a co-sponsor.

Have a read of the link. You can also do a statement in the form of an affidavit which would assist in overcoming the public charge issue and show your support in a more detailed manner.http://www.visajourney.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=305

I honestly don't think you'll have a problem with the interview, 'cus you are able to sponsor for your fiancee, and you'll put your new job as well as your old one in the form, so they'll see that you changed for a better job, and that counts FOR you both, not against.

Ok. Even though NOA2 hasn't arrived yet, I am just getting information together to start processing it so it's ready.

[Ladylethal 12]

Which is always good advice since we already know in advance what will be required.
