Phone Card Receipts

THERE we GO! Just be careful about submitting enough documentation about the financial support. They like looking at that. I mean letters from the employers, copies of tax returns, bank statements and all of that. Also, don't make the mistake I made. If you guys took pictures when you met...have her bring them to the interview...as many as possible I just took the "between the dates evidence" which didn't include many pictures and they didn't really like that I mean i still got approved but I got an ugly look somewhere along the way with a question "You only have one picture with your fiance?" to which i replied that I have hundreds just not between the filing date and the interview...anyways..Romanian embassy was just ...weird... :-P

Thank you everyone for the great advices. Got my I-134, tax return, and letter of employer ready and I'll well over the 125% poverty line. I will be making my 3rd trip this year to see my fiancee next week and I will take more pictures, this time also focusing more with her family members as well.

My annual salary is around 54K....Plus around a 10k to 15k Christmas bonus ??

From what I've read, if your tax return exceeds the 125% poverty line then you don't really need to provide a bank statement showing when you opened the account and the sum amount deposited for the past 12 months.

than you have absolutely nothing to worry about. About the account...THe romanian embassy sent me the info in Package 3 stating what I need to bring to the interview with me. Along with the Affidavit of support they said that I could bring the letters from the employers, tax returns..blah blah and the bank statement stating the date the account was open in the bank and the current balance I know it sounds weird...but you have PLENTY..so don't worry about it

no the bank statement is really just one of the supporting documents and it's totally optional

I also have a condo which i rent out ...im a residential manager in Manhattan NY and i get an apartment in the building i manage.

Should i put one of my mortgage statements?? I get the rent in cash , so im not sure if its smart to provide it being that i dont report it as an income, which its not because the rent still doesnt cover the full mortgage payment.

Phone card receipts are not valid evidence for proof of an ongoing relationship. You cannot show who you were calling

yup exaclty...do that and dont worry about those phonecards If you're making your recent trip you can submit the copies of your tickets, flight itinerary, copies of the stamps and visas (if there are any for USC for her country).

GOOD luck i will keep my fingers crossed

Thanks for clearing that up. My bank refused to give me the total amount deposited for the past 12 months. They were only able to give me a letter that has the date when it was opened and current balance.

I know that i cant really prove who i was calling , but i have phone records from before i met Leidy and i had never dialed the phone card number and after its all over the place...I hope that its just a minimal part of my evidence..I have gone to see her 6 times in Colombia and i will be going to the interview, I flew her to Panama andmet her there for a vacation...i have receipts for restaurants, money transfers to her....of course the stamps on my passport from the 6 times i have been there...over 400 emails...over 170 pictures from different trips to her...

GOD I HOPE IM OK...IM GETTING NERVOUS..MY INTERVIEW IS IN 3 WEEKS!!!!

I agree. Just that during the first 1.5 years I didn't know I was going to marry my fiancee so that's why I'm worry about the call logs during that time. 90% of communication for us are over the phone.

The poverty line is around 13k/ yr You have 54K...you have nothing to worry about...The letter from the employer, the W2's and the tax returns will be more than enough as long as the Affidavit of Support is filled out properly

or 17..something like that either way...you're waaay up there!
