Very concerned about the I-134...

[Necrotica 0]

As some of you know, I lost my job in April, after the I-134 and supporting documents (bank letter, employer letter, etc.) had been prepared since December. I can fill out the I-134 and have it notarized again without a problem, can get another bank letter, but the job situation is really stressing both Réjean and I out.

The job I have now is not a permanent job. It's considered "long-term temporary." The way it works is that we are hired on a temporary basis but have the chance to go permanent if there are permanent job openings available. It's considered "long-term" in the fact that the position is not anticipated to end anytime soon, if ever, but it's still temporary nonetheless.

Is this going to put Réjean's visa approval in jeopardy? I have 4 years worth of tax return transcripts that show I made well over the poverty limits, I have paycheck stubs from my last job that the affidavit of support was originally based on plus the ones from this current job, I have about $1,000 in the bank right now, I make $15.66/hour (!!!!) at this current job, but I'm going to need to somehow get a new employer letter from them, and it might end up saying that I'm temporary on it. Plus it may be difficult because I'm still on the payroll of the employment agency until I convert over to the actual company (but still as a temp) on August 5th... yeah, 3 days before the interview...

How much weight does all of this have with the Consulate? I don't have anyone willing to be a co-sponsor...

I am going to be SO UPSET if Réjean is denied because of this!!!

You might need to line up a co-sponsor just in case.

Yes..you should have a back up co-sponsor just in case.

I can't see how the Montreal Consulate is going to know you started a new job and you are not at your previous job.

The original employer letter from the old job is now 6 months old, plus if the interviewing officer asks Réjean where I'm working now, he can't lie to him (well, he technically could, but we're not risking that).

I guess the question for those who have already interviewed in Montreal is: did the consulate want to see an updated I-134 and updated supporting documents?

When I had my interview in June Lorry's I-134 info along with employer, bank info was all dated and notarized Dec 23. They only asked if I had a sought out employment not a question about where Lorry was working

In the beginning all my papers were dated and notarized in Nov 2006 and the interview was April, we had done the i-134 again but only because there was some mistakes on it, but all the other papers were 5 months old. And all the interview asked me is what was my husband doing as a job, not where. He just wanted me to explain what he was doing, and im sure its was more to see if I knew my husband than to know where he was working.

Necrotica, looks like you'll be okay.

FYI, I don't believe the I-134 is legally binding but the I-824 at the AOS stage is and they require lots of proof of income at that stage.

IIRC the guy in Van. who took my papers was quite specific about the Affadavit; so was the interviewer... but I've also heard than Vancouver seems to pay a lot more attention to that particular sheet.
