Kindly advise on Affidavit of support

[oneheart 0]

Hi everyone,

I feel to vent our experience here once again. Few days back we got a notice of Approval of I-129F from the NVC and currently being sent to the US consulate but we cant get a response from our lawyer especially now we needed his cooperation with document gathering he only responded when we got NOA2 and he sent out a form an affidavit of support asking her to fill and return quickly. My other questions are:

1. Second, my fiancee needs to know if she can include her first daughter who she has in 2007 tax return as partially dependent along with the two others that are wholly dependent on her. But now, her first daughter is no more dependent on her and we need to know is it would be alright to not include her since current information should be included although she was in her last tax return as partial dependent.

2. Based on her income, she can meet the 125% for a family of 4 but will be like few dollars down for a family of 5. However, she earns more just that her official papers show only basic not including overtime. So now does she do whats on her last tax return or file based on her current situation?

3. Then what do we do with the lawyer's nonchalant attitude? As we plan to have him coordinate my fiancee's (Who lives in the South) filling her affidavit of support and that of a co-sponsor (who is in NY) in the event of her not meeting the poverty line.

4. Also, is it possible to for her to include income support (bank savings) and would it be necessary since a co-sponsor is sufficient?

Thank you for the lovely assistance you give out here. Waiting for your informed responses.

Hi everyone,

I feel to vent our experience here once again. Few days back we got a notice of Approval of I-129F from the NVC and currently being sent to the US consulate but we cant get a response from our lawyer especially now we needed his cooperation with document gathering he only responded when we got NOA2 and he sent out a form an affidavit of support asking her to fill and return quickly. My other questions are:

1. Second, my fiancee needs to know if she can include her first daughter who she has in 2007 tax return as partially dependent along with the two others that are wholly dependent on her. But now, her first daughter is no more dependent on her and we need to know is it would be alright to not include her since current information should be included although she was in her last tax return as partial dependent. As I understand it, if her daughter is claimed on the tax return then she must be listed on the I-134. If your fiancee's income is really borderline, I would have her write a letter and get it notarized explaining when her daughter was no longer dependent on her. It may or may not make a difference, but its worth a shot.

2. Based on her income, she can meet the 125% for a family of 4 but will be like few dollars down for a family of 5. However, she earns more just that her official papers show only basic not including overtime. So now does she do whats on her last tax return or file based on her current situation? Can she provide documentation of her overtime and how much she was paid like time sheets, pay stubs or a letter from her employer to that effect? Her last tax return should have her total income. The consulate is going to be most concerned with her current income situation and so, anything documenting that would be good.

3. Then what do we do with the lawyer's nonchalant attitude? As we plan to have him coordinate my fiancee's (Who lives in the South) filling her affidavit of support and that of a co-sponsor (who is in NY) in the event of her not meeting the poverty line. We didn't hire a lawyer so I cannot tell you what to do. If the lawyer is not responding or doing things to your satisfaction then you need to get your fiancee to go to the office and get on their case, after all, that is what you are paying them for. Or, you could just fire them and go it alone from here. Do what you think is best for you.

4. Also, is it possible to for her to include income support (bank savings) and would it be necessary since a co-sponsor is sufficient? If she has enough assets to make up the difference then she can use that. For each $1 she is short she would need to show $3 in assets. You could also just use a cosponsor who meets the requirements instead of using assets.

Thank you for the lovely assistance you give out here. Waiting for your informed responses.
