Im so in love with my girl in the Ukraine

[Theglassguy 0]

It was filed on the 3/31/09 they sent me a email stating they have it in hand on 4/4/09.So how long is this going to take for it to be approved?? I see the time line is 4 to 6 months??She has a son who is 2 years old so does this slow things up any??I own a Business and I see that I have to file a I 134 affidavit of support.I called my Lawyer and ask if we needed to do that now he told me I did not.That he would do that after they have sent him a email saying we are Approved?So do I get this puppy put together and ready now or wait?

The thing is I show big gross sales in my business but not much net,So will they look at my net or my gross for my company.I make real good money but I have a shop and I have big over head.I still make good money but last year was a hit for me.I lost about 75,000.I went from 235,000 to 160,000.Plus I took over another business the drove my over head even higher.I still did good even with the economy taking a bad turn.The only thing is I owe some back taxes and I have worked this out with the IRS and Im in no trouble.

I guess what Im asking he how long will this take to get her to Kiev for the interview?

And does it mater what my Net is to my gross?

And do they look at IRS back taxes?

Most business have problems with the Tax man this days,With economy not doing all that great.They seem to focus more on us small guys then the big ones.

And any pit falls I need to look for.

Oh did I say i miss my girl so bad and I love her more then any thing.God when you meet you soul mate there really is nothing you can do about it.

No need the I-134 until the interview. If things go well in about 6 months. Get tax transcripts from IRS. 800 829 1040. 24/7 and free. Don't take so many write offs!!!

USCIS doesn't really seem to care if you owe back taves. Just how much you made or are making.

Yes - average.

She has a son who is 2 years old so does this slow things up any??

Shouldn't be a problem. Make sure the father allows her to take the child out of the country (get it in writing)

I own a Business and I see that I have to file a I 134 affidavit of support.I called my Lawyer and ask if we needed to do that now he told me I did not.That he would do that after they have sent him a email saying we are Approved?So do I get this puppy put together and ready now or wait?

As mentioned - you send that at the time of the interview. Eventually you will need to do the I-864 during the AOS.

The thing is I show big gross sales in my business but not much net,So will they look at my net or my gross for my company.I make real good money but I have a shop and I have big over head.I still make good money but last year was a hit for me.I lost about 75,000.I went from 235,000 to 160,000.Plus I took over another business the drove my over head even higher.I still did good even with the economy taking a bad turn.The only thing is I owe some back taxes and I have worked this out with the IRS and Im in no trouble.

Can you show you made more than $23K as income?

I guess what Im asking he how long will this take to get her to Kiev for the interview?

Time varies - 6 months maybe?

And does it mater what my Net is to my gross?

Not if you meet the poverty level needed.

And do they look at IRS back taxes?

No - but they will want your tax transcripts. (current year filing - 3 years if you need more evidence to show income levels

I received 221g at the consulate in Bangkok partly for owing back taxes. Even though I am paying the IRS monthly. This is how they looked at it. I made $18500 for 2007. I owed the IRS $10,000 from 2006. So in their mind, I only made $8500 for 2007. Fortunately, I made over $50k in 2008, so I gave them the return and corresponding 1099s, and W-2s for 2008. I also gave them a statement from the IRS showing that I have been paying them every month. That solved that problem.

I still don't know why my petition wasn't denied at the NVC stage. (You probably don't have to worry about the NVC part as you are a K visa.)

If your annual salary, minus what you owe the IRS is above the poverty guidelines, then you should be fine.

The box checked was "Other" and then they filled in this:

Yeah I can see if you are on a payment program with IRS or any payments like child support it would be taken in to account.

Was that on your Gross or Net?? My Lawyer has told me 2 times that they go off my Gross.So my gross is really good but after I take every thing out it shows my profite is not that high.I could show more but Im a small business.The taxes i owe is being handled by another lawyer.Its not that much.I have talk to my lawyer about this and he said he does not see this as a problem.He is working on a settlement for me in the next 3 months.If they do this I wont owe that much but Ill still be making payments to them.I had a bad accountent for 4 years and on top of that I had a wife that was alwas drunk.So after I got out of that 2 years later i got hit with a tax bill and life was really hard.But now things are great but Im worried this will be some thing that could be a problem.

So if I need to take care of this faster then Im going to jump on it next week with my lawyer.Please tell me any advice or maybe Im putting the cart before the horse?I still have a long ways to go.

OOPs How did USCIS find out you owed back taxes??

USCIS never said anything. It was Dept. of State. I have no idea how they found out, but they did. They knew the dates, the amount, everything. Like I was saying, since I was IR-1, I had to go through that whole process at NVC. I filed I-864 with NVC. My case was approved, and then sent to the BKK Embassy. The Embassy are the people that brought it up and issued me 221g. Kinda blows my mind.

The thing is I show big gross sales in my business but not much net,So will they look at my net or my gross for my company.I make real good money but I have a shop and I have big over head.I still make good money but last year was a hit for me.I lost about 75,000.I went from 235,000 to 160,000.Plus I took over another business the drove my over head even higher.I still did good even with the economy taking a bad turn.The only thing is I owe some back taxes and I have worked this out with the IRS and Im in no trouble.

I guess what Im asking he how long will this take to get her to Kiev for the interview?

And does it mater what my Net is to my gross?

And do they look at IRS back taxes?

Most business have problems with the Tax man this days,With economy not doing all that great.They seem to focus more on us small guys then the big ones.

And any pit falls I need to look for.

Oh did I say i miss my girl so bad and I love her more then any thing.God when you meet you soul mate there really is nothing you can do about it.

You present the I-134 at the interview in Ukraine. You do not send any documents to the consulate, your fiancee will bring them with her. Her son will make no difference in timing of the process.

They consider only the income you claim on your personal 1040. Not the gross sales of the company. It is the "net" from schedule C. Look at the 125% poverty guidelines for the I-864. I believe it is about $22,000 GROSS persoanl income (not business) for the guideline. They do not care about back taxes if you have a payment plan in place. If you have tax leins it can be a problem.

It was filed on the 3/31/09 they sent me a email stating they have it in hand on 4/4/09.So how long is this going to take for it to be approved?? I see the time line is 4 to 6 months??She has a son who is 2 years old so does this slow things up any??I own a Business and I see that I have to file a I 134 affidavit of support.I called my Lawyer and ask if we needed to do that now he told me I did not.That he would do that after they have sent him a email saying we are Approved?So do I get this puppy put together and ready now or wait?

Let me clarify. They filed a lien, and then I set up the payment plan. This was June of last year.
