Hi, all. I went to the embassy today. I spoke with a guy over there, who said that I-864 can be submitted, but an I-134 is what is required from my co-sponsor.

So basically, I still need to have a co-sponsor and have them either sign and fill a I-864 or I134. They would not oversee the unemployment and they are counting as if the baby is born and I have to support him/her also. So I would need to follow the $21k Poverty. If I only had to sponsor my wife then the $17k would have been fine, since my $18k wages for 2006 would have covered it.

Also, he did not care that I have a $65k income for this year...I even took supporting evidence of facts like:

Section 213A Act which states "If you are currently employed and have an individual income which meets or exceeds 125 percent of the Federal poverty line for your household size, you do not need to list the income of any other person."

I also had the 9 FAM 41.81 N4 Documentary Requirements.

However, he refused to even see these things and said that there is not point of arguing. He said it's best to do whatever the CO said.

Well what can I do. I have already had 2 people co-sponsor me and they mailed out the stuff by courier to me today. I should have the docs by Monday for I-864 that I will submit. I cannot go thru with the I-134 now...since I will again have my co-sponsors sign and send those out...and they won't get here till Tuesday or Wednesday and my wife is flying on Friday the 9th....so it's probably best for me to just stick with the I-864 now...and submit and hope things work out.

By no means am I angry at the people at the consulate...however I am just stressed out because of my wife being pregnant. I just want to be there to see my first baby being born :(

Wow Jas, what a lousy situation. But you've got a good attitude and it sounds like you'll have the papers in hand. Now it will be up to the CO to quickly review the papers and print the visa before your departure date.

Not to add more to your plate....but I know Dilwali is coming up. What is the Consulate's schedule like? The people I work with in our company's Pune office say they are on holiday starting on the 6th.

Best of luck! Keep us updated on how it goes.

Hey one more question. I have a co-sponsor who has signed the I-864, however he is a business owner so he has used his business name and showed the company taxs rather then personal, would that work?

Also as a backup plan, if I wanted to get another co-sponsor. What would I need to do for a I-134 with a co-sponsor?
