November 2019 K-1 NOA2 to NVC to EMBASSY

[Greenbaum 12,259]

This thread was created for those who are waiting for their NOA2 K-1, case assignment from NVC and then onwards to your Embassy.  Contained in the PDF below are many tips, tricks and hacks to help you along the way in what steps you could be taking along the way.

 

These are items that everyone asks for, so I thought I just post a PDF of them here for you to refer to when it's necessary.

Congratulations to all the November  NOA2s, now welcome to the thread and enjoy your SHORT stay here. Read that Pdf file, send off that email to NVC and relax.  Wait 10 workings days before you try any calls, USCIS has up to 30 days to get your case to NVC.

The co-sponsor completes the same documents and submits the same requirements as the petitioner. Here are the "general" requirements for most embassy's.

 

You are required to complete Form I-134. If the income reported on this form or your tax return reflects income below the poverty guidelines for the year the form was submitted, submit evidence of your income. This can include the following documents:

• For those who are employed by an individual or company, submit a photocopy of an employment letter, pay stub, or pay advance (direct-deposit receipt) that meets the criteria below:
  • Includes your name and the company’s name;
  • Is on signed, business letterhead (you cannot sign the letter yourself); and
  • Is issued within the last three months.
• For those who are self-employed, obtain a photocopy of one of the following:
  • Your business license.
  • A signed letter on business letterhead that was written within in the last three months.
  • A contract between you as an independent contractor and a company.
• For those who are unemployed or retired, submit a photocopy of ongoing income from other means, such as:
  • retirement benefits;
  • other household members' income; or
  • other significant assets.

 

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 1-134. 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 1-134. 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, value of properties, etc.). You may download the 1-134 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.

They are more concerned with current income. Does your current income meet or surpass the poverty guidelines? If not can you get a part time job that would raise your income to meet or exceed the POV G? Keep in mind that most embassy's are moving toward 125% of the POV G and not 100% like years past. If not then you will need a co-sponsor.

The you are going to be fine. Why can't you get the TT? Most can download and print same day. Pay stubs and employer letter will substantiate your income with your current job. I think you are over thinking this a bit too much.

The thing is this, my 2018 tax is below the POV G

In 2019 i started my new job in August and my annual salary will be around 35k my dependent is me+fiance +1 daughter =3

 

You mean i can get a 2019 TT even though it's  not taxes season yet?

TT is the 2018 tax year. Pay stubs and Employer letter is for 2019.

 

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 your current income...that is how much you 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.

You could have started that job the day before the interview and it wouldn't make a difference to the CO. That is your CURRENT income.
