hello Guys

I am ankara with my Fiance, for more then 26 days and couting...

OR

* You may add the cash value of your assets such as money in savings accounts, stocks, bonds, and property. To determine the amount of assets required to qualify, subtract your household income from the minimum income requirement (125 percent of the poverty level for your family size). You must prove the cash value of your assets is worth five times this difference (the amount left over).

Example for a household size of 4:

125 percent of 2006 poverty guideline

$25,000 sponsor's income
$19,500 Difference
$5,500 Multiply by 5
x 5

Minimum Required Cash Value of Assets
$27,500

the funny thing is they mail me with DHL ( do not ever mail with DHL it take us 7 days to get the mail) with form i-864 but the consulate didn't accept it, she need a i-134 cosponsor.

another stupid thing is, they didn't look over the case while my fiance mail to the consulate, for interview date. they didn't look at the file correctly to see what is missing... so if there was something are missing they should told us, bering sufficint income ... at the interview or .. whatever bring all orginal documents.. which is they didn't done that.

I am so disappointed of Consulate in ankara, I am so frustrated bein here for 26 days spending money on hotel and ... ect, no one speking or understanding english, while you do't know there language(turkish) they know how to rube you and cheat and take the money away from you , which is happening for us in here, no fun city at all. durt and mad and trash is all over the place.

I just don't know what to do and where to go.. ..

Do you have a specific question or are just frustrated? If you need a co-sponsor, ask your friends and family. They will need to be making enough money to cover their household plus your fiance and her kids (not you - you are not being sponsored). Good Luck

Dear Reza:

You make mistake on calculating the amount of money you need. You listed how much money is needed for a US military soldier to sponsor a child or spouse. A military person can sponsor with a lower income than a normal citizen.

You need to look at the part that says 125% of POVERTY LINE FOR ALL OTHER SPONSORS:

Here is the link to the CURRENT GUIDELINES:

http://www.uscis.gov/files/form/I-864P.pdf

2008 Federal Guidelines Income Guidelines for sponsorship:

125% minimum income for household of 4: $26,000.00 (the 48 states)
125% minimum income for household of 3: $22,000.00 (the 48 states)

The number of people in your household should be the number of people you claim on your TAXES (exemptions/dependants). So is your stepfather an dependent on your 1040???? Did you list your mother on your taxes as a dependent?

Best of luck with Embassy staff.
