[nela 0]

Deshi bhai,

My son was born in Sep/2010..since then havent seen yet. I can feel the pain too. But i cannot hide the truth that i have to wait till become citizen no matter my pd is current or not...The only way you can beat the BD USEM by USC spouse category other than they will put you in hold any reason( NO GUARANTEE).

I think you should submit your USC certificate at interview time...GOOD LUCK!!!

You guys made me cryyy, hope and pray march bulletin will move somehow for us

I received a letter form NVC indicated that my Income does not meet the requirement. My income is 24k, househould size is 4, but i have real estate of 193k (net worth). They said the final decision will be made by consular officer at the time of interview. What is the chance that it is going to be ok.

Dear Giahuy,

According to poverty guideline, u need annual income $27562 for 4 person ( including applicant ) And your current income is 24k.

Calculation is ($27562 - $24000)X 5 = $ 3562 X 5 = $17810

So u just need $17810 cash or equivalent property which can be converted to cash within one year to support the sponsored immigrant. Your 193K is more than enough, but u need to convince Visa officer by providing related proofs of your 193k property.

Please read the following guidelines(FAQ) from travel.state.org website ....

"

May the petitioner/sponsor count assets to meet the 125 percent minimum income requirement?

Yes, except with form I-864EZ. The sponsor's income is totaled first. Personal assets and/or the income and assets of household members who have signed an I-864A are totaled next. Usually the sponsor must present evidence of location, ownership and value including liens and liabilities for each asset listed. The consular officer must find that the financial value of the asset can be converted to cash within one year to support the sponsored immigrant without undue harm to the sponsor or his/her family.

What Cash Value of Assets is Needed?

The total net value of assets, less liens and liabilities against them, must equal five times the difference between the sponsor's income and 125% of the poverty level for the household size

Sponsors of spouses and children of U.S. citizens must only prove assets valued at three times the difference between the poverty guideline and actual household income.

Sponsors of orphans who will acquire citizenship after admission to the United States must only prove assets equal to the difference between the poverty guideline and actual household income.

What can be used as assets?

Assets easily convertible to cash can be savings, stocks, bonds and property.

Can the immigrant visa applicant count assets that he or she owns that are outside the United States, such as real estate or personal property?

Yes, under the following conditions:

* The assets must be convertible to cash within 12 months

* The applicant must show that the assets can be removed from the country where they are located. Many countries have limits on cash or liquid assets that can removed from the country

* The net value of assets is at least five times the difference between the sponsor's income and 125 percent of the poverty guideline for the household size.

Guys!!

Just noticed something on DOS site:

http://www.travel.state.gov/pdf/FY10AnnualReport-TableII.pdf

F2A category glossary for the year of 2010:

Spouse or child of alien resident, and children 32,423

Second Preference Subject to Country Limitations

Spouse or child of alien resident, and children 20,169

32,423+20,169=52,592 total issued visa of F2A category in 2010

88000-52592=35,408 unused visa given to F3/F4/F1..

Is that unfair even thousands of cases completed before december 2010 visa bulletin??
