sOME NIGGLING LIL QUESTIONS THAT NEED SATISFYING ON PACKET 3 STUFF

[Leeander n Stacee 0]

Hey there everyone, whoever can help would be grateful

So they are a bit all over the place as its come to the time getting all forms together so,

First off, my finacee is sending me things obviously, does she need to send me her original birth certificate or is just a copy of hers ok?

Also, does she need to send me her tax returns, she has a letter from employer and i also believe some pay stubs, she's not self employed so didn't think its needed ya know, cause she's providing other things?

Erm, then just on the DS157 form, where it starts asking you for dates of employment and education, ok to just fill in random days as i know the month n years of things but not the specific day date. So ok just to fill that in as i know they don't sit down and track everything lil thing you have every done on what day.

So again to put it simply, do i need the actual days i started work education, even tho i have the month n years correct?

That should be it for now i think, if so i can print and sign send forms! At last!

Also posting here because feel some bits are more England related then in general

Thankyou anyone

To be honest, I'm not sure if I remember if it has to be the original. Originals only cost around $5 though, so I would get one anyway.

Also, does she need to send me her tax returns, she has a letter from employer and i also believe some pay stubs, she's not self employed so didn't think its needed ya know, cause she's providing other things?

Yes, she needs to send you tax returns for the past 2/3 years, I believe. People have been delayed for not providing tax returns, and I know that in my interview, they weren't even interested in the employer letter or pay stubs; they just wanted to see the I-134 and tax returns of the sponsor and co-sponsor.

Just give the month and year. No one is going to remember what specific day they started and ended school years ago.

Ok thanks a bunch, yey i will just get her to get some tax forms then, co sponser is anyways thanks.

Also i as the beneficiary don't need to show any financial stuff do i? Or do i take some tax things with me to the interview?

And seeming as i will just not include day dates, even tho it gives you the outline of mm-dd-yyyy just continue to only put mm-yyyy?

I would definitely still get the employer letter and pay stubs though, just in case. It was only in my case that they were only interested in the tax returns. I had everything (including 6 months of bank statements) in hand ready to show.

Yeah, the beneficiary doesn't need to show any evidence of finances. They don't care about your money situation, unless you're self-sponsoring.

So, so it does give you the dd/mm format, then? I only remember putting the month. Maybe someone else has some advice on that one..
