advice/opinions/suggestions needed re: affidavit of support

[mr and mrs 187]

We haven't had this given the stamp of approval yet, but I went with

"I intend to marry and live with the recipient in the manner of husband and wife, sharing with him my home, food, money, and belongings"

I looked at that N/A answer given in the guides and felt it was inadequate...although its probably perfectly adequate.

i agree. n/a doesnt sit right with me. plus, i talk a lot and rarely use fewer words when i can happily blab on and on.

i quite like your answer! its very 'real/loving' as opposed to very 'financial/stiff', but still answers the question.

thanks for your response.

ps. i had tried searching but the forums search was down (did anyone notice it?) anyways, i posted in the 'site forum' and cpt ewok has fixed it now. : ) so ill trawl through some searches a bit as well.

hi.

im not frantic. just curious.

i am so torn between answering question 11 (on the I-134) with

a. [do not intend] n/a (k-1 visa process for permanent residence)

and

b. [do intend] i intend to support my fiance in whatever way is needed, including providing room and board, for an indefinite period of time so that he does not become a public charge.

advice?

I do believe one UK applicant had to have the affidavit of support redone for filling it in according to the guides as the consulate officer did not like that answer. I think that was last year some time.

Charley ticked the intend to support box and just put in "Board and lodging for as long as she needs it".

thanks, talyss.

in the end i have gone with a little blurb. ive just woken up and i will double check my documents for errors and signatures. feel pretty good.

any quick comments about FedEx vs. USPS? im tempted to go for the cheaper USPS, but then again the tracking function would be nice. ive generally had good luck with with the USPS (esp to the UK).

anyways, thanks for everyone's help. : ) slowing getting there.

I haven't heard any damning evidence against UPS, USPS, or FedEx.

You mentioned tracking. If it's worth the extra however much money to be able to obsess over it vs. the 5 days of unknown USPS/Royal Mail delivery, then pay it.

For me, once it has arrived, I think, "Gee, I could have saved all that money and just been patient." Though I know it is difficult to not know! (Have checked DHL website tracking my NVC->London about 5 times today alone - it's still in the air, by the way)

[mr and mrs 187]

i went to Fedex this morning. and the gentleman weighed my documents and said it would be $61 for 2 day service. (he also said that was my only option? i feel like he might have been incorrect saying that, but i didnt care.) i told him if all hell broke loose id be back in a week or so to pay the $61 for 2 day service.

i went to the post office and sent it 6-10 days with global priority mail? cant think of the name. $12.95. im just going to chill out and wait about 8 days and then start wondering. : )

im hoping it will be fine. and if not, ill go back to FedEx. : )

and talyss, thanks for that very level-headed response. : ) i have a hard time with alarmist responses 'OMG I HATE DHL THEY LOST MY... whatever.'

If it was Global Express Guaranteed, you might be surprised how good the service is. My husband finished his PhD once we moved over here, and he had to send lots of stuff (like the bound copies of the thesis) back to Dundee. We used the GXG service and everything arrived in Dundee within 2 days, totally trackable and MUCH cheaper than UPS/Fedex.
