Day 121

[MelissaHussain 52]

I'm so happy for everyone getting approved!

We are at 112 days and could really use some good news. His work situation is so bad right now because the tourists left Italy and I probably will have to cancel my trip to see him later this month. I know we all have our struggles and finding something to be grateful for helps get through the tough times. I'll focus on be thankful for video chats! 😁

We need a little housekeeping on your end. Many of our answers are predicated on the information you supply in your profile. When we look at the left column and can't determine your timeline OR your Embassy it's hard for us to give you a factual answer. Our answers will sometimes be tailored to a specific Embassy hence the reason for you to complete your profile. If you look at the profile of others here, they have a flag for their country, so it makes it easy for us to reply as we can quickly determine their Embassy. The country that should be used is the country where the interview will take place.

 

So, if you could help yourself out and complete your profile that sure would help us out when we want to reply to your question with factual information.

 

Go to the top right of this page select your name (it's on the upper right-hand corner)>my profile>[below your picture on the right column] edit my profile. Scroll to the bottom and fill in "Immigration Info". There now we can better serve you.

 

Once you finish that then return and you will see a flag in your profile. Select it and see what wonderful information will open up for you.

 

Thanks

It asks for immigration status, however I am not an immigrant. How do I complete my profile?

You are an immigrant. Are you not pursuing a K-1 visa? Isn't that listed in the drop down box? There's your answer.

They stated they are the sponsor.  They already live in the United States so they aren't an immigrant. An immigrant is a person who comes to live permanently in a foreign country.  They have lived in the United States so that doesn't apply to them. It may be asking for the beneficiary's immigration status which you would select their country if that is the case.  Some people don't like to be helpful to those who don't understand.

We are talking about her profile that is confusing to me as it should say that she (the beneficiary) is pursuing a K-1 visa. Her's says "other".

 

BTW, yours is blank so we don't know what visa you are pursuing. To change that select your icon in your profile on the left column (J), then select "edit profile" found to the right side of the page and then complete as shown below. This is about the beneficiary.

I am not an immigrant. I am a US citizen. My fiancé is the one pursuing the K-1 visa. I evidently looked at that question wrong. I thought it was asking about the process we were going through that brought me to this site. I’ll go back and change it.

These last 10 days have been brutal. God works in mysterious ways... but so does the USCIS . Meanwhile, while checking for any update nearly every other hour, I just keep trucking on at day 122. Hope everyone has a great weekend 

[emma24 161]

Day 100 for me! I’d be lying if I didn’t say I was getting excited every time I see an email in my inbox!  

[USUK8 72]

Day 108 for us, Nov 19 NOA1. Approvals are right around the corner people. We'll be waiting in another thread before you know it!

Hi Everyone, 

 

We recently received our NOA2 and I am looking for guidance on the Affidavit of Support form as we continue with this process. My partner and I applied for the K1 while we were finishing a master's program in México and immediately following the program end in January I returned to the states to start working. I meet the income requirements well above the federal poverty level but I am worried about providing previous W-2 documents to prove income as the past two years I was in México studying. In this case because I have little recent history of income in the US does it make sense to get a co-sponsor? I just want to be especially careful, given all the changes to public charge rule Trump has implemented recently. 

 

Thanks in advance for your help!

Future income cannot be used to support you now. Neither can past income. They will care about current income first. At the time you present the I-134, it needs to show the petitioner's current income...that is how much they are earning at that time. The past income may be considered for the public charge piece as well, but current income is what is required.

 

It may be wise to seek a co-sponsor for now just to have in your back pocket at the interview. Then if the petitioner does land a job paying better by the time AOS comes around, they can qualify on their own. The I-134 is not binding, and they do not need to use the same sponsor (or any other sponsor at all) for AOS after marriage.

 

What is needed for a clean financial package.

 

EVIDENCE OF SUPPORT: You must submit any evidence which will show that you and members of your family who will accompany you are not likely to become public charges while in the United States. Visa petitioner (US Citizen) will have to complete form I-134. If the petitioner does not qualify as a sponsor, a Joint-Sponsor should ALSO be presented (any US Citizen living in the US or Legal Permanent Resident), who will also have to complete form I-134. Both, the Sponsor (Petitioner) as well as the Joint-Sponsor, will have to present last year's income tax return transcripts. W2 form and proof of current and sustainable income (e.g letter of employment on letterhead including salary and start date, most recent salary receipts, bank accounts, the value of properties, etc.). You may download the I-134 affidavit at https://www.uscis.gov/i-134 Get the IRS transcript in place of the actual 1040 here: https://www.irs.gov/Individuals/Get-Transcript Use this link to determine the income levels needed https://www.uscis.gov/i-864p. Also, the new requirement from most embassies is to complete the DS-5540. https://eforms.state.gov/Forms/ds5540.PDF
