Hello everyone,

I unfortunately do not make enough money and my mother has offered to co-sponsor for us. We have her last 3 years of tax transcripts. However, she just retired February 1st, 2013 and her new income will still be enough...however, she is unable to receive a letter showing exactly what this new income will be. They are so backlogged where she works (many people took their buyout option) and they are still working on getting the documentation out to the employees.

My mother has received some payments...but, she only has her bank statements to back this up.

She has her own business and retirement annuities...these alone are enough. Should she just not include the retirement amount she receives from her employer?

Just want to make sure this is correct sonce we will be doing this again with the AOS process.

Thank you so so much and I hope this all makes sense. :)

I'm from Norway and my fiance is American, we want to get married in America and then apply for the CR1 Visa. But how do we get married if it's illegal to get married while I'm on the Visa waiver program? How do we marry legally in the United States, without going through the K1 (fiance) visa process? We want to apply for the CR1 Visa because we have heard it's faster and cheaper. I appreciate all answers :) 

I forgot to say that to apply for the CR1 (Spouse) Visa, you have to be married (right), but how do we get married if it's illegal to get married while on the Visa waiver program. 

Does anyone have an idea on how long it takes for the physician in Sweden to send the results to the consulate? We wont be using Norway...long story. Flying into Sweden from USA. Trying to spend the least amount of time there. How many days prior to the interview should we schedule the medical?

Thank you!

Hi all, 

 

I've looked at the affidavit of support page on Visa Journey, and I've tried to search the forums for answers before posting my questions here. If I've missed a help page somewhere with these answers, please just point me in the right direction! 

 

A little background info that will hopefully make my questions a bit clearer:

• I'm a full time student, so I don't make a lot of money right now. In 2012 I was well within the required 125% of poverty level.  
• I often work 2-3 jobs to support myself. 
• At the beginning of 2013, I quit one of my part time jobs, and my current salary will not meet the 125% percept of poverty level. However, I will begin a new job the first of July. The money I make from that job will bring my income to 125% of poverty level for 2013. 
• If our VJ timeline is correct (and everything keeps moving along), I'm guessing my fiance's interview will be in October or November. 

 

My questions: 

1. Will it be a problem if I COMBINE income from different jobs to meet the 125% poverty level requirement? (On the support page on VJ, it states that along with my affidavit of support form, I need to include a letter from my employer, stating that I'm working FULL TIME for them. I do not work full time at any one job. I work one job 8 hours a week and another job 32 hours a week.) Do I include letters from both employers? The employer from whom I receive the most money?
2. The position I will begin in July is a PAID internship. Will the fact that it's an internship be problem?
3. What "counts?" Current pay stubs or last year's tax forms? Both? When my affidavit of support form is reviewed, what are they looking for? Last year (2012), my tax forms show that I made 125% of poverty level. Is that enough? Should I submit both a copy of the 2012 tax form and pay stubs from the job I'll be starting in July?
4. If I start a new job July 1 and my fiance has his interview in October or November, will that be enough time for me to "prove" support?

Sorry for all the questions. If anyone else has been in a similar situation (working multiple jobs while still in school), I would really appreciate input! Thanks in advance!
