[spiderbonge 0]

we are sooo confused!!!!!

can you please answer a few questions for us..

1. I have dual citizenship, do i have to denounce my filipino citizenship to petition my fiance living in the Philippines?

2. In one of the forms i have to fill up G-325A (biographical information) it asks where i've lived for the past 5 years.. well WITHIN those 5 years I've lived in the Philippines for more than 3 years, do i also have to get an NBI? police clearance? CENOMAR (certificate of no marriage)?

3. Does my co-sponsor for the affidavit of support have to be a relative? or a friend will do??

4. Can my co-sponsor have dual citizenship? i think shes also an Australian citizen (and U.S)... She is an immigration lawyer in Australia, have properties and a call center here in the U.S. as well as the Philippines? would it be ok if i use her for my co-sponsor despite her dual citizenship? She's not in the army or anything.

5. How much money savings is sufficient to have in my bank account?

and lastly, i think...

6. Within 5 years I've only worked here in the U.S. for a little over 1 year, so I only have1 income tax return. Do i need more than one?? or latest paychecks and a letter from my employer would do in addition to the 1 year of the ITR as proof of employment??

Thank you very much for your time and hoping for your reply.

1. Nope. For a K-1 petition, you just have to be a USC, other citizenships dont matter.

2. No, if your the petitioner. The beneficiary does need to get the police certificate, later for the interview.

3. Anyone can co-sponsor, although the I-134 is not legally binding the form used at the AOS stage I-864 is. If you are still using a co-sponsor for AOS, you better make sure they are willing to make the commitment.

4. Dual citizenship doesn't matter.

5. If you are using just savings. I believe the number is $50,000 for a household of 2. Which is about $16,000 x 3 years. You can use savings to supplement your income if you fall short by annualizing it. If you have $10,000 in savings, divide it by 3 and it will account for $3,333 per year in income.

6. Depends on the country, just one may be enough. Contact the consulate/embassy on that one.

If you were a USC, even working abroad, you do need to file tax returns every year.
