student loans, credit card debt and I 864

[jessibicho 0]

Hi - some questions for you all.....

If I have a co sponser for the I 864 will it matter that I owe 4,000 dlls on credit cards and am taking out student loans for grad school?

Will they take into account that starting in august I will be a teacher?

Also right now I am living with my parents - when my husband is given the visa I am going to get a place for us (either rent or possibly buy if I can find something cheap enough) should we include this information in the forms (ds 230, I 864)? or should we just make on like we are planning on living with my parents and then when he gets here inform the INS???

There is nowhere on the I-864 to include debts so that should pretty much answer your question regarding that

As for your future plans.....There is also nowhere on the forms to my knowledge to include such. Stick with your parents address etc. When you move out you will need to inform USCIS of the address change.

If you have a co sponsor does your income even matter?

I dont know - that is basically what I am trying to figure out - if it matters, and if so how much??? Any ideas?

Thanks

Thanks - I was under the impression that they would be able to obtain all of my financial history - do they not go further in depth than what is on the forms?

I thought about attaching some kind of letter with the forms for my husbands interview that would explain how we met, etc and our future plans...... is this not a good idea??

USCIS doesn't run credit checks

Sorry, I didnt take note of you doing DCF, only the forum it was originally posted in.

At the interview stage including when one is doing DCF, one must show that they have a bonafide marriage/relationship. Anything that can establish this to the Conof is beneficial.

As to the credit cards, loans etc....dont sweat it as they do not do a credit check.

Also confused about the DCF Cr/1 thing - we did DCF but applied for the Cr/1 visa as apparently this is the only option for those wanting to get married IN Ecuador (or so I was told by the embassy) so - I dont know how to categorize myself here. Suggestions??

jessibicho,

DCF/Direct Consular Filing refers to where you file the petition (abroad vs in the US). When the petition is approved, the beneficiary applies for an Immigrant Visa.

So, the visa your spouse is applying for is a CR-1, but most folk would enter DCF in their 'what are you filing for' field.

Thank you for clearing that up for me!
